Travelodge Dartford

This is without doubt the worst room I have ever stayed in. The bed was clean and comfy and that is the only positive things I can say. The cobwebs in the corner of the room must have been 12 inches across (room 122) and my friend who was in the room opposite had a hole in the wall where someone appeared to put their foot through it. No bar, no food and was ripped off for 50 quid per room. Shame on Travelodge, I stay at their hotels on a regular basis and have never seen any of their other hotels in this squalid state. Wish I had my... more

This is possibly the worst hotel I've ever stayed in. Despite paying only £19 for the room, it was barely worth that. When we turned up at 2.15pm, we were told quite bluntly that we couldn't check in until 3pm. Which is fair enough, but when we asked if we could check in and leave our bags, but not have the room til later, we were told we couldn't do that either. The phrase 'Computer says no' sprang to mind. After finally checking in at 1am, we were told we couldn't have a key because it had broken in the door lock previously, and had... more

We stayed for a one-night stopover so that we'd be local for a shopping day at Bluewater the next morning. We paid £29 off the Travelodge website and this was about what it was worth for a bog-standard Travelodge room. Nothing wrong with it as it was clean & tidy but one night would be enough, especially as it is by a busy road and road noise is an issue. Not much else to say... OK for a one-night stop-over but that's about it.

I suppose the noise is the first thing to mention. It is very noisy here, with a main road to one side and a railway line to the other. It's also very warm in the rooms in the summer months, which is made worse by having to keep the windows closed at night to cut the noise down a bit. It would be very difficult to sleep with the windows open. And on the subject of windows, they're the standard Travelodge ones which can't be opened more than a couple of inches because of the lock and cable. Hopeless if you want to get some air into... more

We needed accommodation in the Dartford area, south of the river crossing, for two nights in July 2007. As this was a busy weekend with several major events in the vicinity we were forced to book with Travelodge. We had experienced poor quality accommodation with Travelodge earlier in the year so we were disappointed that this was the only premises with availability. Right from the beginning we experienced problems. We followed Travelodge's directions to the premises but found ourselves in major road works on the M25 which funnelled us... more

We stayed at Travelodge Dartford in order to visit the Bluewater shopping complex which was only five minute's drive away. The hotel was situated near Greenhithe village, next to a dual carriageway and a train line. Although we were worried the noise would affect our sleep, it was never noisy enough to bother us. We booked early on a Supersaver deal from the Travelodge website for £15 and this represented excellent value. The room was clean, comfortable and spacious, even with a bath! We would definately return.

I spent a night in Dartford Travelodge at the end of July 2006. It was basically a place to rest my head after a long journey from the North on the way to Dover. The biggest bonus to this hotel the fact that it is located five minutes away from the Dartford Tunnel exit of the motorway is also its biggest drawback. Being located next to such a busy stretch of the motorway and the inadequate windows makes for an extremely noisy hotel. Therefore my plan to get a nights sleep and make me fresh for the next day was seriously hampered. It... more
