Well firstly i will say how i travel the length of the country for work and i have stayed in more Travelodges than i care to remember. Nothing compares to my horrid experience in Preston Central, however i wasnt very pleased with this one. The positives however were the fact that it was so central, just about a 10 minute walk to the main shopping centre (sorry i have forgotton its name) where you can pick up clothes, food etc. Very handy. The negatives were when i finally found it, after struggling with the one way system for an hour, was the price of the car park! If you are staying more than one night please do not bring a car if you can help it, the ticket officers seemed to love it down there. It was extremely noisy, but not from the exterior. People staying in the Travelodge seemed to have no care for anyone else but themselves. It was busy however. Another negative is the lifts, the doors only opened when they wanted. My final negative about this place is its always a high cost, more than any other central usually - even London - and the inside needs a massive revamp. It was so old, grimey and cold that i actually didnt spend much time here at all and hopefully never will. All in all if you get it for a cheap price, staying one night while you party hard then thats probably a great hotel for you, however if you are staying on business or with a family its probably best to avoid.
