I’ve stayed there numerous times but this time the receptionist (namely Olga) was unfriendly and just complained the whole time about going home.
I arrived early at 13:30, and she was on the phone for quite a while. She then said check in is at 2 and no rooms are ready, so I happily waited in the dining area, understanding that I had arrived early. After 2pm she said there were still no rooms available. The next shift arrived at 2pm, and Chloe took over after hand over. There was immediately a room available and I then checked in around ten past. Chloe was friendly and efficient.
The hotel is under renovation and noisy during the day but that’s not an issue at all for me. Other than that, the room was perfectly clean and my stay was enjoyable, and I will stay there again.

Having to book online and have to wait 2 hours until out booking will be received by the hotel is ridiculous on top of that the receptionist did not try hwr outmost best to assist but rather tell us we need to wait for 2 hours to gwt booked in. We had to chat to expedia to assist and even with that it was a mission

old travel-lodge style

We stayed out of necessity for 1 night due to flight issues. Room was clean but AC does not work. No elevator, making it difficult carrying luggage up 2 flights of stairs. It was OK overall for a very short night stay. Remindd us of the old outdated travel lodges. We wouldn't stay for a holiday.

The road lodge met my expectations which were budget friendly, clean and convenient location.

The place was dreadful. It stank so badly that I had to wash even our bags when we got home because the smell had impregnated everything. The toilet floor was sticky. There were pigeon feathers on the floor. The double sleeper couch was a pile of stained cushions. The other guests on our floor were noisy till late.
This was Not the hotel I asked to be booked into. I was under the impression that I had been booked into the Airport lodge. I was not the only guest lied to and turned away from the airport lodge. I suspect that some VIPs or some such were pushed in when we were pushed out. The service I have received from Hotels. Com and the city lodge group is disgusting and I will never use them again.

I see why they’re a 1 Star.

It was a good stay. As a result of renovation work at our home we moved in for about a week. The day staff were very pleasant but there was one lady in the evening that rarely smiled, told us that we had a 3 sachet maximum for sugar per person( friends came to check on us and we needed more for tea), asked why we needed extra TP ( my daughter had a fever and was vomiting most of the night) which gave us the idea the hotel was struggling. Not quite something I want to feel bad about. Other than that other staff were often not at the front desk, didn’t complete check in processes and could be heard gossiping in the room off the reception quite loudly ( often about guests). It’s a great hotel for REALLY short stays but longer stays show problems in the place. A pity, since it has great potential to be great.

Overall the stay was good, had the basics needed to be comfortable. The positives were free WIFI, friendly staff at reception, enough parking for all cars.

The one big negative is that my room was close to reception, so some of the staff in the corridor (right outside my room) and in the reception area would shout to each other on the other side of the room/corridor. This happened constantly through the day and it started early in the morning.

Overall the stay was good.
