I booked this Travelodge last minute for a week stay and; having read some reviews, was nervous I?d made a mistake.
On arrival the manageress was very welcoming. She explained that if we needed fresh towels or extra tea and coffee, we simply had to put the sign on our door before 11am. Alternatively; if we preferred no one to enter the room, we could just ask at reception and they would accommodate this?.which they did.
While unpacking I discovered the fan in our room didn?t work, but I was immediately given a brand new one. Later when I couldn?t get a second device connected to the Wi-Fi I?d paid for, the lady at reception called Virgin and had the issue resolved quickly.
I?d chosen a room at the far end of the hotel away from the road. It was so peaceful it felt like being in the countryside. We barely heard any road noise and were even greeted by a family of rabbits outside our window each morning.
The hot water took a minute or two to come through, but once it did the shower was as hot as we wanted and despite being a little dated the shower was lovely.
The on-sight facilities are a bonus: the petrol station sells everything from razors to milkshakes, the Subway manager makes excellent salads and foot-long sandwiches, and Greggs next door is ideal for fresh bacon baps, fruit pots, pasta pots and great-value meal deals.
If you?re happy to drive out to eat; which we were, there a lots of great pubs, an American diner and plenty more within 15mins. If you want to go a bit further Chelmsford is a lovely modern pedestrian town to eat, shop and more and Colchester is steeped in history with higgledy-piggledy little streets with eateries from all over the world.
Overall, this Travelodge offers excellent value for money. The only reason I didn?t give it five stars is because I had to dust the shelves before unpacking and the kettle wasn?t as clean as it should have been. Nothing major, and I?m sure had I mentioned it, the manageress would have happily sorted it.

Good customer service. The rooms and entire hotel looked and felt very outdated.

The floors in the hallway are very noisy.
Mold all over the bathroom ceiling
Edges of the room very visibly dirty.
Bed sheets looked more like a well used handkerchief.
Whole room smelt of damp dispite leaving window open for the week I stayed.
Offerd refund very rudely at which point I felt intimidated to accept my room.

Cleo was absolutely brilliant - really thoughtful and helpful. She kindly checked whether it was safe for me to walk to a nearby restaurant and provided all the travel info I needed. The room was clean and comfortable too - really enjoyed my stay.

Service was good, the room is not. Got a family room, the room stinks and there?s a large amount of staining on the floor. Walls are very dusty and there?s no plug sockets near the bed, damaged walls and all round outdated. Hopefully due for a refurb soon?
