Travelodge hotels woes

Janlara don't be frightened staying on your own . I go on holiday by myself and always feel safe in Premier Inn and Travelodge . I travel by train with travel assistance. I am disabled and never have to worry about getting on and off trains or making my connections .

At the hotels they know I'm case of an emergency I will need help getting out . Plus I have to have my dinner cut up for me in the kitchen and have plenty of napkins as I eat with a spoon and fork and because of my disability I can miss my mouth or drop food down me . But no one bats an eyelid.

Before I moved here I visited my children and stayed in Primier inns from 2006 . My husband died in 2004.

I am going to Lancaster , Sleaford and Dundee this year for holiday . I go on a Monday until Friday . I don't want to be in a hotel over the weekend due to more people being there especially if it's places people go for hen and stag do's.

I have had to change rooms once this was many years ago because I smelt smoke.

Thousands of people use Premier Inn and Travelodge everyday don't let a few horror stories put you off.

If I took notice of horror stories I would never leave my home but I don't . Whatever happened to people using their common sense.

Can I just say, in addition to my post above, we stayed in a Travelodge after my teenaged son had an operation on his spine. He was unable to travel home and needed to be close to the hospital in case of emergencies. The hotel was brilliant. When they heard his story, they ensured he had NEW sheets on his bed every day to avoid the risk of infection; not old sheets which had been washed but brand new ones, straight out of their packaging. They offered to bring food to our room and couldn't have done more to ensure he the perfect rehabilitation.
Yes, there are incidents where things go wrong but there are many, many more times when they go right.

I went to travel lodge last week and left my card in my room. They asked for no evidence of who I was. Ok I’m an oldie but could have been a thief or worse. I think I’m going to write to travelodge to tell them. Also initially she gave me the wrong card and said the number. Obviously I corrected her but again I could have taken the card.

I guess it was a slip up by an individual member of staff, who was, no doubt, sacked.

Hotels are run by humans and we make errors, it's always going to be the same.

Im going to derailing this thread about Travel Lodge and give a shout out to The Abbey hotel in Malvern. I asked if they had a gluten free biscuit to go with the tea making facility in our room and they sent up 3 packets!!
