It has really gone downhill. I tried to check in at three o’clock and the room still wasn’t ready — it was actively being cleaned. When I went back to reception to let them know, the staff were unbelievably rude. The receptionist said, “apparently the room is not ready” with a real emphasis on “apparently”, which felt completely unnecessary and dismissive.
While she was dealing with me, her manager repeatedly interrupted to ask payroll questions. Eventually both of them walked off mid‑conversation to sort out their own issue, leaving me standing there with no explanation. No apology from anyone (except the cleaner), just an adversarial attitude. It’s such a shame — the staff used to be so polite here.
The rooms themselves are no longer up to standard either. The bathroom door is rotten and shedding bits of wood across the floor. The shower has barely any pressure, and the shower pole is just resting on the taps, making it unusable — you have to hold the shower in one hand and wash with the other. The smart TV has no internet access, so you can’t stream anything, and there’s a large line running the full length of the screen.
To make matters worse, there’s a connecting door to the room next door, so we could hear everything: their TV, their conversations, even their air‑con running all night. Overall, a really disappointing stay.
Save yourself a fortune and go to travelodge it cant be any worse
