Yes Tim, handrails aren’t very aesthetic lol but as someone who is relatively young & disabled, they help keep people like me safe from potentially doing serious damage, especially when places like Travelodge / Premier inn don’t give out bathroom mats to step out onto!

I've stayed in one of these and to be honest, I'd save the money and get the standard room. There's a caveat to that though... I think there's two types of travelodges. The decent ones, which are a bit like premier inn and ultimately the only ones with super rooms, so I'd take the standard. Then the 'other' travelodges, and those in the know, know exactly what they are like and are effectively another chain.

£8.99 for an all you can eat breakfast is a steal. Even 5 years ago, you could easily spend that in greggs for 3 items 😮 Travelodge had bedside USB ports 10 years ago. I stay in numerous hotels all of the time! Travelodge heaters are very efficient and not very hard to figure out, basically you set the temp with the up and down arrows 😂

If you look closer, the massive space under the bad is to fit a slide out single bed, suddenly, the super room becomes a bit crowded. They do have nice padding on the back of the chair, 2, two finger kitkats and a map of Cambridge from 1469, that will be really useful in 2023 with your GPS. The small opening on the windows are good for preventing any suicide attempts. Only kidding, I have used Travelodge hundreds of times, even had free stays, love them, great video Tim 👍

I haven’t stayed in a Travelodge for quite a number of years, because they always felt rather cheap and tacky. When I stay in a cheap/budget type of hotel I have mostly used Premier Inn, Ibis or Holiday Inn Express - they generally are pretty consistent, decently maintained, and generally pleasant enough for brief stays. Travelodge may be slightly cheaper but to be honest I’m not so desperate that I have to scrabble around to save every penny.

Previous nights room looked very uncared for and the basic I would want is cleanliness and a bit of care and attention. For a £16 upgrade fee, that doesn't seem too bad but I'd still be in a Travelodge and that's always going to be the problem... I've stayed in a few for rock bottom prices but frankly would rather pay the little extra for a Premier Inn or similar. Clearly I've got old and fussy! 😊

As an American who has stayed at Travelodge in the past (in Las Vegas), I can tell you that Travelodge here in the US is very different than in the UK. Based on this video, the quality of the Travelodges in the UK is significantly better than in the US especially when it comes to cleanliness. This is because In the US, Travelodge is considered a bare bones budget brand right alongside brands like Motel 6, Econo Lodge or Super 8. As a result, the quality of Travelodge rooms in the US is significantly worse than in the UK with rooms often having never been updated since the hotel opened which for many Travelodges in the US is the 70's or 80's. US Travelodges also often have a reputation of attracting illegal activity. There is also no breakfast of any kind at a majority of Travelodges in the US & if there is, it is free but only consists of a pastry item & coffee. Just wanted to offer this information to anyone in the UK or Europe who is visiting or going to be visiting the US thinking about staying at Travelodge.

I stayed in Travelodge, Anaheim in 1999 & everything was immaculate, better than any UK Travelodge. There was 2 super king size beds in the room & the bathroom was very clean. They had a small swimming pool & if I remember rightly, they also served breakfast. But at that time, there was an all you can eat restaurant on the same block for only $5. I remember over indulging in the ice cream there. Happy days that holiday was.

The great thing about (some) Travelodge locations is that they are the 'vintage' locations that have been around for decades! As a lover of 'vintage' hotel and travel experiences I love this! Again, there are only a few of these 'original' Travelodge locations, and quality varies with each individual management, but its worth looking into.

Back in November, my husband and I went to stay at the Knight's Court Hotel in Great Yarmouth, it was our first time having a weekend break in some years. We wanted a break that was far away enough from home, but we could get back quickly in case our teenagers needed us. I must say it was one of the best places we have stayed in for a long time. It felt like a home from home and the staff were attentive and lovely. The food was gorgeous and we would definitely recommend a visit there. Even though it's close to home for you guys.

Hello Tim, really this reminds me of how the LCCs (budget airlines) developed. Budget hotel chains appeared on the scne in the early 1990s. They simply stripped away the frills so that they could be price-competitive with conventional properties. But later the LCCs started to earn more money by charging ancillary fees (just check how much you end up paying EZY or Ryanair when you request some/all of the many options) the former have been copied by the budget hotel chains. Hence the Super Room concept. At the same time the cost of a standard room or flight (without the extras) means the firm can display a lower headline price which in turn attracts the customer.

We stayed in a Travelodge in Cambridge a couple of years ago, however it doesn't look like this one! The one we stayed in was closer to the station. As for breakfast - it seems expensive, however what you didn't mention was - if you have kids, they can have breakfast free if an adult also has breakfast - which makes it more cost effective (especially if you have kids with the appetite mine have!). Not sure we would upgrade to a Super Room ourselves though.

Hi Tim. I'm a very recent subscriber to your channel, having only found it a few days ago. I'm really enjoying your content, and greatly looking forward to watching more of it 👍 I'm a sporadic user of Travelodge, with the main branch I've used over the years being Blackpool South Shore (I'm generally happy with the no-frills environment for the low cost outside of main holiday seasons). I did try a Super Room back in 2018 when they first opened their branch in Acton, which I used as a base for two nights while travelling around the south west on a rail rover. At the time, to promote the new hotel, they offered the Super Rooms for less than most other branches in the area were offering their standard rooms for. It pretty much had everything shown in your video, with the only difference being it had proper air conditioning rather than heaters, and with only having just opened at the time everything was virtually spotless. In all honesty, other than the air conditioning, I didn't make much use of the extras. With how much Super Rooms cost these days I doubt I'd pay the uplift for them now and just stick with standard rooms.

The Lavazza A Moda Mio machines are pretty good. I've had them in my home for years. The pod design ensures the water goes through as little "spent" coffee as possible compared to Nespresso, and I think Lavazza puts their best coffee grounds in their own pods (I assume Travelodge is using actual Lavazza pods). I'm not sure I would pay more for a room with an A Moda Mio machine though, because if I'm on holiday I'm likely to just go out and buy coffee or tolerate the instant.

I stayed in a super room last year when I had no choice since that's all they had left. It's only a modest upgrade over the standard room and nowhere near worth the premium imo. For me it's still the case that the best Travelodges are older ones that have bigger rooms. That's far more 'super' than a coffee pod machine and fancier lighting without the premium cost.

as someone who has worked for both travelodge and premier inn across numberous sites i can very much say that travelodge isnt worth the money yea u get what u pay for and is very basic from a guest pov but its never consistant between hotels, premier inn on the other hand is a lot more worth it still basic at times but u know what ur getting and the sites ive worked and stayed at are always better conditions then any travelodge even from a company pov premier inn are so much better

The company I work for insists on putting us up in travelodges. I can never sleep in them and they always have cleanliness issues. I said I won’t be going on the trips anymore unless it’s a premier inn

Had some good and bad experiences with travelodge, had to use one for 5 nights during covid for work and the one I stayed in had a business floor and it was a lovely big room and clean, however there was one time I’d booked a room just before midnight on my card and they took payment but didn’t send me confirmation, then because it was after midnight I couldn’t book another room and was left stranded at the hotel with nowhere to stay, there customer service is practically non existent online, however since then they have redeemed there selves £29 a night to be safe and warm rather than rushing home after a few beers in town can’t go wrong really!

Looks ok but still prefer premier inns because of the more comfortable bed. I stayed in a premier inn plus room and the premier inn room looks better and the shower

I must admit I get annoyed when asked to stop filming for no apparent reason. I hope they asked you politely at least. The Breakfast price seems fairly reasonable to me for everything that's available but not sure I'd be tempted to stay in a super room based on the one you and your wife stayed in the first night. A great video as always though.

I’d have asked for my money back and left. It’s a public space, and you’re a paying guest. That just further confirmed for me that I’ll never use travelodge. They ruined a free advert for themselves, silly move on their part…

@@reddwarfer999 yes it is, as defined in Section 33 Criminal Justice Act 1972. A place that is, at the material time, open to the public is although privately owned, a public space. You also have more rights as a paying guest at a hotel, similar to that of a tenant.

@@AbsoluteAudits Public space or not, doesn't really matter. It was stupid to stop filming, all it does is suggest there is something the hotel does not want public to see. I don't think I will be staying, (yes I do use hotels in Cambridge, though not this one so far).

Still not sold on Travelodge, that's a lot of money when most of what you get is in a standard Premier Inn room. Did look clean though and think the breakfast is fair enough, we always make it our main meal of the day at a Premier. Agree that there should be two comfy chairs as well!

I have only stayed at a Travelodge once and I wasn't to impressed with it. The TV was missing a lot of channels and the bed felt like you were sleeping on a brick. You can easy get a far better stay in a Premier Inn as they beds are nice and comfy, so would be giving Travelodge a miss in the future.

Great review Tim, thanks for that. The extra £16 seems reasonable for the upgrade from standard anf £8.99 for an unlimited breccy is about the norm. That shower doesn't live up to the billing though, very underwhelming. Would I stay in one? Hmm, the juty is definitely out.
