No, I haven't. You seem to think that people go to a Travelodge to use the facilities for the fun of it. They are there to give you somewhere to stay in that area for whatever reason.
I'm in a Premier Inn right now. It's pretty good, to be honest! Certainly much nicer than Travelodges I've been to. The lady on reception was so polite as to be almost fawning!
But it's not a holiday if it's somewhere less comfortable than home. If I'm going away for a break, then I want a health suite and a mini-bar at the very least.
Fair enough. Although, I'd be looking for a new job if £19 was all the expense budget ran to lol
My point was just that, if you are paying money for something, you want more than you get for free/what you are already paying for.
My expenses run to far more than that thanks, but after 2 weeks in Mexico and 2 weeks in Greece I wanted a cheap weekend break and Travelodge could provide that.
Premier Inns are way better, I've stayed in about 30 over the past few years and had a very good night each time. Helped by the fact they have proper pubs/restaurants attached, whereas Travelodge have Little Chefs and Burger Kings.
I've stayed in Travelodges a lot less, mainly because it's a bad experience every time. Twice I've had reason to write to the CEO of Travelodge and get a refund.
Not really, it was my way of saying "you make a good case." Shame you couldn't have done the same.
I wouldn't say you were one to be commenting on making a good case, considering your response to my post was saying the same thing back to me without explanation (unless you call going back to quoting the same flawed hire argument an explanation).
I went to a travelodge in Leicester a few years back and the bathroom door had a large hole in it where it looked like someone had punched it. It reported it to reception and they said no-one else had complained and I could be liable for the damage if I wanted to take it further!! I would have moved out there and then but it was a business trip and so I wasn't paying.
Premier Inns are far nicer, plus they have a restaurant. The Travelodge in Thanet was only built a few years ago, and you don't even get a lock on the bathroom door:eek: And you have to make up the kids beds.

Why not? For one thing, some cleaning staff have a habit of suddenly walking into a room after a very quick knock on the door and if you are in the bathroom you want to ensure they are not going to come in. I don't think I've ever been in a hotel room which doesn't have a lock on the bathroom door.

I don't think I've ever been to a hotel where there wasn't a deadlock on the room door that could be used to prevent the cleaning staff from entering.

We've been over this. Keep up please.
Well at £15 a night I can do without them thanks.

Oh yes I see. I guess 'fair enough' is your way of admitting you were wrong.

A lock on the bathroom door? Why?
