Doug When we arrived we noticed that the only lift in the hotel was out of order which made it impossible for anyone in a wheelchair or anyone with a mobility disability to reach reception or rooms. This building is an old Mill so the entrance and stairwells are extremely cold, there was cages full of dirty linen sat at the entrance too which wasn’t very welcoming. When we got to reception there was nobody there took a few minutes for someone to come out of the office, asked to check in he asked for our surname and walked back into the office and checked us in from there instead of out front on the reception desk, we were given room 130 and he directed us in the wrong direction but Doug corrected him and told us where to go the guy that checked us in then said “you can tell I don’t work here” unsure if he was being serious or not, he wore a dark patterned shirt, wore a lanyard but no name badge. When we got to the room the cleanliness of the room was disgusting, there was also a few maintenance issues; loads of hair and dark stains on the beds, light switches and bed lights were full of dust, bedside shelf also matted in dust, carpet behind the bed was yet again matted in dust, wardrobe where the spare pillows were was dusty, spotlights in the bathroom did not work so bathroom was extremely dull, the divider between the carpet and bathroom floor was full of dirt there was also a toenail which was extremely noticeable, bed base was badly ripped, wall had been scratched which has actually ripped the paint off and the groove is really quite deep, the back of the curtains were literally black full of dirt (hand prints, stains etc) headboard light coved was badly snapped in half, picture above bed was matted in dust, window did not open at all, the peep hole cover on the door was broken, floor in the bathroom was easily ripped up no sealant around the edge to hold it down..would also cause water to go under the floor and rot the wood underneath and stains on the shower curtain. It was absolutely filthy never seen a Travelodge like it! We then left the room went to reception to complain, Doug changed us room but unfortunately never gave us a chance to fully tell him what was wrong with the room stopped us mid conversation, we then got moved to 117 which he said was cleaned by himself, when we got to that room the hand towel had a very noticeable brown stain on it we took this back to reception and got a clean one, there was also a dirty used towel hanging on the back of the bathroom door. The windowsill was covered in dirt, dust hanging from the ceiling, and again the floor was not sealed down in the bathroom. The only thing that I like about this hotel is the view of the hills from the room. Overall very disappointed and disgusted with this hotel would not stay here again or recommend to anyone.
