I
chose
this
place
for
it's
proximity
to
public
transport
and
friends
I'd
be
meeting,
but
it's
possibly
the
worst
Travelodge
I've
ever
stayed
in.
The
chap
at
reception
was
friendly
and
welcoming,
especially
when
I
requested
an
iron
on
arrival.
It
was
only
when
I
took
it
up
to
my
room
that
I
noticed
the
lid
for
the
water
compartment
was
missing
so
I
had
to
take
care
not
to
scald
myself
with
steam
or
water.
No
ironing
board
in
my
room,
so
I
improvised
with
a
spare
towel
over
the
dressing
table.
Onto
the
bathroom
floor,
I
spotted
what
looked
like
a
bloodstain
and
another
dark
mark
which
turned
out
to
be
a
ball
of
someone
else's
hair,
so
it
clearly
hadn't
been
cleaned
properly.
The
bed
was
comfy
and
clean,
but
the
room
was
so
cold,
despite
the
thermostat
showing
20°,
that
I
had
to
double
up
the
duvet
to
stay
warm.
Night
1
was
uneventful,
but
during
Night
2
around
4.30am
I
was
woken
by
the
sound
of
a
drunken
lout
trying
to
crash
through
my
bedroom
door,
presumably
having
mistaken
my
room
for
his.
Luckily
he
soon
wandered
off,
but
lit
a
cigarette
so
the
whole
corridor
reeked
of
smoke.
He
was
smart
enough
to
open
the
windows
in
the
corridor
to
try
and
get
rid
of
the
smell,
but
let
cold
air
into
all
the
rooms.
I
tried
contacting
reception
via
the
premium
rate
number
I
found
online.
Great
if
you
need
to
make
or
amend
a
booking
at
that
hour,
but
when
I
selected
the
option
to
speak
to
a
member
of
staff
in
the
hotel,
it
rang
out
unanswered
until
a
recorded
message
said
there
was
no-one
available.
Just
as
well
he
hadn't
broken
my
door
down,
caused
serious
damage,
hurt
himself
or
even
attacked
me.
Shame
on
you,
Travelodge,
for
not
having
someone
on
duty
to
deal
with
the
matter.
Shame
on
you
for
charging
calls
at
a
premium
rate
when
I
could
have
been
in
danger.
Why
is
there
no
standard
rate
number
for
reception
displayed
in
every
room?
The
next
morning,
after
a
minimal
amount
of
sleep,
I
was
in
a
hurry
to
meet
up
with
my
friends,
so
I
checked
out
without
saying
anything,
but
I
will
be
making
a
formal
written
complaint.
So,
avoid
this
place
like
the
plague
if
you
value
your
safety
and
security.
You'd
be
better
off
paying
double
to
stay
elsewhere.
