I often stay in Travelodge because they provide great value for money, large comfortable beds, a full bathroom, TV, tea & coffee making equipment and a family room includes a pull-out sofa for two more people so it makes a family trip really affordable. Many Travelodges also offer a delicious cooked breakfast buffet plus a bar with tasty meals. They are usually in convenient locations with on-site parking. I recommend Travelodge
