Very well located. Room spacious and clean. The bathroom needs some updating and lighting, it is too dark and seems not very clean. The cleaning staff were a pleasure to deal with during my week at the hotel. The internet is the worst I have seen lately . Really bad signal. Reception crew did not help at all. Instead they asked me if I could work from the lobby where the wi fi was stronger. *I took a few zoom calls using my phone data because the Hotel internet did not support a video call.
I would probably avoid the Hotel if you work remotely and rely on good internet.

Good location, staff helpful if not always knowledgeable but room was not very clean. On arriving, the bathroom was filthy & shower wasnt draining. It did get dealt with after complaining. However given our room was \"made up\" every day, glasses & mugs were never cleaned which made reusing impossible so although free water from dispenser available no clean glasses available to use. Floor also felt dirty, lots of stains on windows. Could be improved. One of kety attractions was the pool but it wasnt heated so werent able to get much use.

We checked-in into 2 rooms at Level 7, and the rooms were terrible.
There are dust EVERYWHERE. It's not the usual home dust, it was those tiny wood particulars.

There was even paint marks on the toilet tiles and walls. Toilet bowl was stained too and we have to flush several times top get rid of it.

We feel that the front desk staff should tell us if there is no connecting rooms available, instead of allocating these 2 rooms which were clearly not ready for guest stay.

We requested to change room which the front desk staff mentioned there will only be rooms available the next day 10am.

We changed our itinerary the next day, as we needed more time to do the room change. But at 10am when we approached the front desk, they told us there is no room available!

So we have to explain what happened the previous night, and waited for another 15mins before we finally got our room changed.

We had 2 rooms at Level 6 & Level 8 each. The room at Level 6 was fine, but the room at Level 8 was not any better.

We believed renovation is still ongoing at Level 7 and 8, and that the hotel opened the rooms to us when there is not enough rooms. Also, there was no aircon at the common area of Level 7 & 8 too.

I was recovering from sensitive nose before i checked-in, but the dust aggravated my condition. My sis who was completely fine fell sick at the end of the stay too.

Service from the staff was good, but the facilities are really horrendous. Will never go back to Travelodge.

While it's location is a plus point especially for foodies, as well as the very attentive & friendly staff, improvements very much needed in maintence & housekeeping.
Disappointing that a hotel with 3-star rating, provided bedsheet & pillow cases, towels & bathmats that had stains or frayed edges. Even the brims of the 2 mugs were coated with dust when i first checked into the room. Had to wipe off dust from table tops etc too.
Although most guests will be out in the day, we would like to return to a clean, dust-free & cosy room. Nevertheless, i noticed that everyone is making an effort. So, do continue to strive for excellence in service!

Worst experience I've ever had with a hotel. Word of warning, the pool is not properly equipped with non slip floors and both my friend and I fell quite badly just walking along. First thing I was told by staff was \"did I read the conditions? Because it's slippery when wet.\" and \"you use it at your own risk\". It's a pool, of course it's going to be wet.

Secondly my bed had dried blood stains, which I complained about and staff brought me new sheets and said \"just put it on top, the cleaners will sort it out in the morning\". He also seemed quite perplexed when I then asked them to change the sheets for me.

Finally small thing, towels all look like they had been through quite a bit of wear and had holes in them.
