This hotel feels tired, worn out and in desperate need of some care and attention. The minimal fittings are dated. There were flecks of paint on the bedside units from where the walls were last painted. Our room smelt so strongly of air freshener it seemed they were trying to mask something. The bathroom floor was dirty and our bed... More

Good value stay. Clearly the place is in need of a bit of a "refresh" but the management are keen to let folks know htat they have plans to improve things, and in the meantime they seem to be doing the best that they can with a somewhat tired property. The location's a bit of a problem as you have... More

I have to use this Travelodge during the week as i work in the Midlands but live elsewhere. Every time i walk into the place it feels old, smelly, run down and desperately in need of some TLC and upgrade. The room is was given this time was clearly and ex smoking room but the rooms always smell damp and... More

Needed to attend a local football match so 7 of us (3 rooms) booked into the Travelodge for the 29th December 2012. It is easy to find and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms are tired and in need of decorating. Shower in our room (27) had a dodgy tap which meant I had a bath! Unfortunatley... More

Checkin was fine and on first impressions we found no issues- the room was clean, tea/coffee provided etc etc. However when we went to bed we found that the mattress was so thin and sagging, we 'rolled' towards the middle of the bed and both woke up with neck ache and not much sleep. We were also disturbed by the... More

Really friendly welcome when we arrived , given lots of apologies that we stopped initially at the north bound travelogue where the staff were very helpful with directions. No restaurant on site so we have bought our own cereal and croissants and shall try the breakfast muffins . Staying for the weekend to attend the youth conference at whitemoor lakes... More

BEWARE USING SATNAV FOR THIS TRAVELODGE AS IT IS DETERMINED TO SEND YOU TO THE NORTHBOUND ONE INSTEAD!! This is a fairly tired looking Travelodge which seems fairly neglected, the boarded up Little Chef on the site does nothing for the aesthetics but the staff were polite and courteous and nothing was too much trouble. They do warn of road... More

Nothing much has changed since the last time we visited this hotel. The people on the first floor must have hob-nailed boots on while walking around-they were so noisy! At about 9am someone was banging on the door opposite and the door opened to reveal a disabled man emerge with 3 Malaysian looking young ladies - not the kind of... More

No thrills hotel situated on the southbound carriageway of the A38 at Barton-under-Needwood. Typical hotel of the Travelodge brand, and therefore a fair size room which was clean and comfortable, if in need of a little TLC. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Despite being on a busy trunk road our room, situated at the rear of the building, was remarkably... More
