What a shame that the cleaning of the rooms is not up to scratch.
When we got into our room we found that there was soiling in the toilet pan !! Enough to put you off your evening meal I can tell you. We told the the receptionist who apologised and said that they would come up to see to it. Well 2 hours later I had to go down again and remind them.
Eventually it was sorted but our room was above the kitchen and back door so we had the smell of curry and ciggies ( from the staff breaks) wafting up. As it was sweltering we had the window open but millions of mosquitos made their way in. They were dispatched with the menu card although the white walls were redesigned a touch
We were awoken the next morning by the sound from the breakers yard next door !!We had booked for 2 days and were going to leave early forgoing the money paid for the second night and the breakfast but they offered to move us to a different room so we decided to accept.
Well the room was indeed quieter but....there was a bloody great tide mark round the bath !!
It was late by now on the second evening and Mr hbrac said to forget it and have a shower instead of a bath which I did.
The cleaning is apparently contracted out and when I asked the cleaners for more towels nobody could speak English.
I shouldn't think they receive much per hour.The breakfast was adequate though staff were a bit thin on the ground and were on the whole disinterested. We tried to get a hot meal on the first evening but they didn't have what I wanted on the menu so we went to the local 24 hour Tesco and brought back sandwiches.
To add insult to injury, the car park is privately owned so you have to pay £3 per day to park there.
We had stopped using the Travelodge some time ago due to problems we had experienced with the cleanliness of the place and I had written a couple of complaints. However I don't want to appear a serial complainant so I am now voting with my feet.
