Many years ago, there was a filling station on part of the A45, now renumbered the A14, called Haughley Bends. After a while, a Little Chef and a Travelodge were built near it. Haughley Bends was one of the worst stretches of road in England and a few years ago, the Ministry of Transport built a by-pass, leaving the service... More

The Travelodge was extremely poor and in my opinion should be knocked down and rebuilt it was that bad. The building has severe problems with damp and the decor of the room was very tatty, I would not use the bath as it was so dirty, the fumes coming from the damp/mould in the room was suffocating and really toxic...

I have stayed in numerous Travelodges over the years and this this does not rank highly, I am afraid. It is tired and in need of refurbishment. Situated in the countryside just off the A14, the location is remote in that a former Little Chef on the site is boarded up and there is no other eating facility for some... More

(I'am French and apologise for my English) I use to drive from France into UK for touring and I frequently rely on the Travel Lodge chain of hotels for short stays. They are exactly what I'm looking for in that case: they are easy to find, reliable, and a good value. I understand that some hotels of the chain ,... More

We stayed at this hotel last night. We didn't expect much for a one night stay in a Travelodge but was very disappointed. The hotel is very run down to say the least. It's situated in a run down compound with a closed down little chef next door. The bed was broken and very uncomfortable with only one small flat... More

We stayed in this hotel for one night in October 2012 and we could not fault it, I cannot believe some of the review, the room was adequate, the sheets and towels were clean and white, we only paid £39 per night! what do people expect? staff helpful, plenty of hot water, tea and coffee making facilities in the room,...

Booked this as a last resort as had to be in the area for work. Stayed in the disabled room. Dirty, smelly and very run down. In the middle of nowhere next door to closed down Little Chef. The reception looked like an explosion had happened in a laundry. Don't bother. Stay somewhere else

I stayed here with my sister, her two daughters and new born son and can safely say I would never stay here again and would never recommend it. Our 'family room' was a double bed and a sofa with a mattress on wheels under it, not a sofa bed. The windows were grimey and the window sill full of spider... More

Stayed here four nights. Each night cost, on average, less than £30 per night so it was not expensive. The reception staff were courteous, helpful and efficient. The hotel was quiet. The room basic but comfortable. The big let down was the cleaning. The bathroom was not clean, each day we were there the bedcovers were just randomly thrown back... More
