Quote: JerryChicken "I once started a TA review of a Travel Lodge in Birmingham with "I must have stayed at a different place to everyone who has already reviewed this place" because I found it perfectly acceptable in line with the Travel Lodge business model.
All of the reviews that preceded mine were having a right old go at it and rating it one star, in a perverse way I was looking forward to staying there just to see how bad it was, but it was fine, as a Travel Lodge it was exactly what it said on the tin.
Strange enough, every review that followed mine then said "Yeah I thought it was ok too..."'"
I never understand why people bitch and moan about TL's ... they serve a purpose, especially for short stays, usually at a very competitive price. If people want 4 or 5 star then pay for it but don't expect it with TL.
