“Perfectly adequate”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 January 2012

Stayed here whilst working in Cardiff, which is less than 20 miles away but half the price, a new hotel with a garage and kfc net door. On a quiet road (A4042) so no traffic noise.

“Basic Travelodge”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 January 2012

This is your basic Travelodge cheap but sparse I wouldn't want to spend more than one night here, it's somewhere to crash and nothing more. However this one is so close to the main road it really does make for a difficults nice sleep if your on the road side of the hotel. Also only one pillow each when the pillows are so poor was annoying. Overall there are better budget hotels in the area to stay at.

“Clean and shiny, but noisy and dull.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 September 2011

person found this review helpful

One of the newer Travelodges, it is still in very good condition and the staff seem keen to keep it that way. It is the only, and I mean ONLY, time I have ever had a cleaner hoover the room in the middle of a two day or longer stay in a Travelodge. The room was fully serviced rather than the bare essentials, and the staff all round are to be congratulated for their efforts.

The designer of the hotel, however, needs to rethink their career. Situated within touching distance of a dual carriageway, there was road noise and lots of it. It was dulled by the good fitting windows but not sufficiently to allow decent sleep.

The room itself was also lacking thought. Everything worked, but it was drab to the point of feeling like I was locked in a government institution of some kind. All white walls, white ceiling, white blind over the white window, and white sheets, pillows, and towels were contrasted by dull grey doors. All the furniture being screwed down and then waking up one morning to what sounded like a jailer rattling keys made me wonder what crimes I had committed.

The bathroom was surprisingly clean for a Travelodge, the shower head had no stray spurts, and everything came out as hot and as cold as was required. It was all just a bit cramped. The whole room was though. Classed as a double room, it had only one chair and little space for clothing storage. There were no shelves or drawers for storage, and only six hangers on the smallest of rails. I know several independent hotels that would have classed the room as a single.

“Up-to-date travelodge which does the job”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 September 2011
2
people found this review helpful

Newish travelodge with the normal basic facilities. Friendly receptionists. Car-park clean (no rubbish as other reviewers have reported). Very good shower and modern flat-screen TV (could have been a bit bigger, but this is a budget chain). Room was overlooking the dual-carriageway but road noise didn't stop us sleeping. Usual stupid opening restrictors on the windows.
Note that the Harvester over the road does get VERY busy on the weekends: eat before 6 or don't expect to get a table until after 9 without a long (v.long) wait.

Room Tip: If you want a quiet room, ask for one overlooking the carpark.
