Travelodge Portsmouth City Centre

We booked a Super Room for a family trip (me, the wife and two kids aged 6 and 11) and have to say there was absolutely nothing Super about it at all. Actually, I could make it work. The room itself was Super small - putting 2 additional beds was laughable as the room was barely large enough for the one double. The facilities were Super basic. Apparently, according to the front desk staff, the additional features of this room included a hair dryer - yes, really, apparently hair dryers are an upgrade - an iron and ironing board - we couldn't comment on this as they were in the wardrobe that we couldn't access as there was a bed in the way (did I mention the room was Super small?) - a coffee machine which didn't stop - Super annoying - and a comfy arm chair, which may have been Super comfy but we couldn't use it because there were beds in the way! All in all a Super waste of money and Super dissappointing! We were Super quick at identifying these issues and spoke to the Super staff and the front desk who was Super helpful but ultimately could do nothing as the hotel was Super busy! In fact all the staff were Super friendly! So to summarise Super quickly, if you're thinking of booking a super room don't bother. If you have a family trip to Portsmouth - which is Super interesting - you may find more Super accomodation booking with a different well known, budget hotel. I won't say which, but I suggest your experience will be a Premier one!

I usually stay in no frills chains so know what to expect but this was well below par. 1. We arrived at 2:10pm but they had no luggage storage until our 3pm check-in, so we had to kill time outside with our cases. We came back at 2:55pm but could not check in until precisely 3pm, making a huge queue in reception for no good reason. 2. Breakfast was not until 8am - not ideal for people with an early start. 3. There was no hairdryer in my room and no phone to call down for one, so I had to go to the lobby at 7am with wet hair to ask for one. 4. The shampoo/soap dispenser in the shower did not work. 5. The shower curtain did not fit well, causing water to pool on the bathroom floor. The bathroom bin was rusty from previous guests having this problem. 6. No bag storage the next day meant we couldn't sightsee unless we paid for bag storage elsewhere. Will choose the Premier Inn next door in future - they actually recommended them as a bag storage facility at £5/bag!
