Fantastic Shower Experience

The bathroom amenities were a highlight of my stay! The shower was fantastic—powerful and refreshing. It made getting ready for my day a joy rather than a chore. For a budget stay, the quality of the bathroom details exceeded my expectations.

Wonderful Food Discounts

I loved the dining options available through the hotel, particularly the discounts I received at the service station. It was nice to have a variety of food choices just a stone's throw away and save some pounds in the process! The accessibility to food made my stay even better.

My stay at the Travelodge Lancaster M6 had its ups and downs. The room was clean and comfortable, but I encountered some challenges getting my luggage up to the top floor due to no lift. I enjoyed the quiet atmosphere, which made for a restful night, except for a couple of disturbances. Overall, it was a decent stopover, but not without a few hiccups.

My stay at the Travelodge Lancaster M6 was unexpectedly pleasant, especially considering its location in a motorway service area. The hotel was quiet and I enjoyed the view of fields from my room, which helped me forget about the motorway outside. However, my experience with the customer service was less than ideal due to some prior booking issues, which left a sour impression on my stay.
