We arrived in the Travel lodge (as we had an early pick up the next day) with our suitcases in tow, only to be told that the room was on the top floor and there was no lift AAAAGH. The man on the desk however did say that as they were quiet we could have the family room which was... More

Shabby, well worn and somewhat smelly room. Table top chipped,faded and grubby. Sparsely furnished Cheap price Friendly helpful staff. If you want a decent meal go across the footbridge, though the services on the other side to Birtlley and find the Board Restaurant/pub /pub

We booked here because of a family thing (not a happy occasion this time) and it was more convenient to stay first night after arriving on the bus from London at a late hour than ring up in the middle of the night etc ! expected a very basic room which is what Travelodge advertises as, and this would be...

I got this room cheap so feel mean complaining. Very tired hotel. Family room is an inadequate size. Double bed with one sofa that has a part you pull from underneath. Ok for a small low weight child but not substantial enough for a bigger kid. Chipped 80's veneer all round which will hold germs nicely. Not enough towels or... More

The staff at Reception were friendly and helpful. I have used Travelodges over the years but this time I was disappointed. I realise that I was able to secure the room at a bargain price but I did expect to find certain items in the room e.g. a hairdryer. The room was in need of redecoration and refurbishment. No telephone,... More

Stayed 2 nights Friday & Saturday 23rd & 24th November 2012, easy to find, rooms very basic & tried BUT spotlessly clean and very warm. The staff were all very helpful and pleasant. The only downside was we arrived a bit early for checkin, arrived at 13:45, I know that 15:00 was the official time for checkin, we had travelled... More

Spent one night on Sat 17th of Nov 2012. Late finish to Concert at The sage in Gateshead. You can book in from 15.00. Need to register your car at check-in or liable to be a fine from Motorway Services. Clean adequate, warm room. Worked well with 15 year old child with us. Friendly helpful staff. Room was quiet during... More

Clean, warm and friendly,after a long day,a good place to unwind and relax. Excellent value for money, everytime! A Little dated but everything in it's place.there is also one on the northbound connected by a bridge

I almost laughed at this room, which at £53 was not really funny. It is a disabled room and I feel sorry for those who are forced to use it. It looks like something from a Norman Bates movie ... varnished plywood furniture is just so retro!!! ... chipped paintwork that looks like its been selected from a public convenience... More
