Advantages: Comfortable, Good facilities for a budget hotel
Disadvantages: Breakfast not included
I have only stayed at Travel Inn twice (once at the Euston-London and the other time at County Hall - London. This is soon to become three times (next month actually!) when we will again stay at the Euston - London Travel Inn.
The reasons we booked for Travel Inn in the 1st place was the price (£74.95 per room per night for London Travel Inns)and because they didn't require a deposit. All you need to do to reserve a room is guarantee it with a credit or debit card. This means that the room is yours and they can not give it to anyone. You can still book to room without guaranteeing it, but if you are not at the hotel by 4.00pm they can give your room to another customer.
The rooms are basic, but comfortable. The beds must be good, because even my hubby can sleep on them with his back!! They all have tea and coffee facilities (essential - if you ask me!), TV, some with SKY channels. They even have hairdryers and sometimes trouser presses. The bathrooms are clean and well looked after, with enought room to move around in (I,m sure we've all been to a hotel where the bathroom is about the size of a matchbox!).
The staff are friendly and helpful always ready to supply you with extra pillows and towels etc.
Unfortunately, breakfast isn't included in the price, but for about £7.00 you can have an all-you-can-eat breakfast, great value, but terrible for the waistline!
All in all I would say that Travel Inn is good value for money, and we will continue using them for the forseeable future.
***UPDATE***
Hi
It's been a couple of years since I wrote this review and we have frequented Travel Inn hotels more and more.
The biggest change to Travel Inn happened last year when they merged with Premier Lodge, so the chain is now known as Premier Travel Inn. The original Premier Lodge hotels are to the same standard of Travel Inn - comfortable beds, good bathrooms, excellent breakfast, etc. We stayed at one in Edinburgh last year and found it to be just as good a bargain as when the company was Travel Inn alone. The only difference I can see with the original Premier Lodge hotels is that in the bathroon you are supplied with dispensers of shampoo, shower gel and handwash, all good quality - the handwash was Dove, which I love!
Premier Travel inn are gradully refurbishing all of their hotels so that they can all offer the same facilities and the same great prices. I would still recommend these hotels to anyone on a budget, especially if they are staying in a city where other accomodation could cost the earth. And obviously, now the two chains have merged this means lots more convenient locations for you to stay.
Give them a try - I don't think you'll be disappointed.
Summary: Recommended good value hotel chain.
