Travel Lodge nickel and dime you to death for every single thing, and the place is a complete and total dump. They charge you £18 for a 1.5-mile bus ride to the terminal. Yes, that's correct, £18 for a bus ride. Then they wanted to charge me £10 to check my bags in 45 minutes early. I refused to pay, so I sat in the lobby for 45 minutes. They have the nerve to charge you some ridiculous amount for wi-fi which I refused to pay, they charge you for breakfast, which was not even ready by the time the bus left in the morning. The rooms DON'T EVEN HAVE PHONES, according to my friend, this is so it makes it more difficult to complain to the desk. The rooms are furnished like a 1970's era truck stop -- basically just a bed and a filthy bathroom. There is basically nothing within walking distance of the hotel, so without a car, you're trapped there, at the mercy of their overpriced cafeteria. The food quality is pretty grim, I've had better meals in a high-school cafeteria.
Travel Lodges all over the UK are equally as bad. I seriously can't understand how this dump is still in business.
DO NOT STAY HERE, DO NOT STAY AT A TRAVEL LODGE EVER!
