Advantages: Price - from £19 with advanced booking

Disadvantages: Noise, basic rooms

I have used this Travelodge a couple of times, as a frequent traveller it is a great way to start your journey refreshed if its an early flight by staying the night before at one of these places. This particular one on the M4 is very convenient for Heathrow and whilst not a top notch hotel in any respect you most definitely get value for money if you are on a budget.

As with all Travelodges the room is very basic, however they have everything you could possibly need for a good nights sleep and an early start and, in my experience, always tend to be clean and functional. Travelodge do not provide the extras you might expect like a telephone in the room but these days who doesnt own a mobile? There is always a kettle and for me thats absolutely essential to get me out of bed in a morning.

The bathrooms are basic but again clean, if you want a decent towel use your own and dont expect a hair dryer, ive been caught out at this place before not having my own with me - they do offer them on reception but they literally have about 3 for the entire hotel and first thing in a morning they tend to be out on loan pretty much from the word go!

Thanks to Travelodge's early booking system and various year round special offers I have never paid more than £29 for a room here. To get to Heathrow is literally a 15 min journey and for the lack of stress its well worth it. You cant really do anything about the noise of traffic and planes but then you are right next to both the M4 and an international airport.

Take it for what its worth - a value room in a basic chain hotel and an easy way to start your holiday without a long drive - and its a good place to stay.

Summary: No frills room but kind to your pocket
