I
stay
here
every
16
weeks,
when
I
go
to
The
Walton
Centre,
as
it's
the
nearest
hotel
to
the
Centre...
and...
on
the
East
Lancashire
Road...
Rooms
are
spotless,
Staff
are
accommodating
and
will
do
almost
anything
to
help...
The
Travelodge,
at
Stonedale
Retail
Park,
has
a
handful
of
shops
around
for
MOST,
IF
NOT
ALL
your
needs...
I
tend
to
stay
2
or
3
nights,
and
there's
shops,
like
B&M,
Card
Factory,
Superdrug,
Poundland,
and
Iceland...
For
EATING
OUT,
there's
the
24hr
Drive-Thru,
McDonald's
next
door,
a
KFC,
Nando's,
around
the
Retail
Park,
and
Domino's,
Breakfast
Bar,
and
Subway
UNDER
the
Travelodge...
IF
you
have
a
car,
directly
opposite,
at
the
front
of
the
Travelodge,
is
a
SHELL
(?)
Garage,
selling
Greggs,
and
Costa
and
slightly
higher
up
from
the
Garage,
there
is
a
Starbucks
(?)
Restaurant...
Unfortunately,
I
do
NOT
have
a
car,
and
crossing
8x
LANES
of
TRAFFIC,
to
have
a
hot
Cheese
&
Onion
Pasty,
does
NOT
appeal
to
me
-
especially,
as
I
am
completely
BLIND...
The
only
issue,
I
have
with
Travelodges
(NOT
Stonedale)
is
that
BOOKING
ON-LINE,
(whether,
for
an
extra
room
or
any
booking)...
there
ALWAYS
seems
to
be
a
GLITCH
on
the
website...!!
Other
people
seem
to
have
the
same
issues,either
there
are
"NO
ROOMS
AVAILABLE
"
or
when
you
go
to
"CONFIRM
(your
booking)
and
PAY..."
the
screen
REFRESHES
and
you
are
back
at
the
beginning...!!
Meaning
often
enough,
you
have
to
"BOOK"
through
"CENTRAL
BOOKINGS..."
Unfortunately,
doing
it
through
"CENTRAL
BOOKINGS"
incurs
a
"HANDLING
FEE"
and
the
room
you
have
been
booking
at
a
CHEAP
PRICE,
can
DOUBLE...!!
PLUS,
to
ring
"CENTRAL
BOOKINGS"
is
an
"0871"
number,
and
NOT
a
LOCAL
or
FREE
NUMBER,
which
is
NOT
supported
by
my
PACKAGE,
on
my
MOBILE,
and
therefore,
I
have
to
"FIND"
a
LAND-LINE
-
which
BUMPS
the
PRICE
up
more...
