There was a long queue for check in, fairly understandable as a group of contractors was checking in at the same time. However the one person on check in was having to run backwards and forwards in between check ins as a couple of people had rooms that had no keys.
On getting to our pre booked family room, we found the room had only been set up for three people. The fourth bed was still folded up under the single bed. Reception finally came to sort out the problem and she took one look into the room and stated that the other bed was there and pointed.
We use travelodge hotels regularly in the UK and I have not once ever had to put my own bed up and chase down sheets from reception and I wasn't starting this day. So she grudgingly put the bed up, grudgingly fetched sheets for it and then grudgingly agreed to bring toilet roll since there was none in the room.
The good points are that the beds are comfy, there's a Tesco and a petrol station across the road and it is only ten minutes down the road to Bunratty Castle.
