Travelodge Lancaster M6

This Travelodge had apparently been refurbished, but the chest of drawers in our room was missing handles, the tiles in the bathroom were dated and the grout wasn't as clean as it should have been.

The batteries in the TV remote didn't work, but the lovely girl on reception did sort this out.

No bar, just vending machines.

Room was tiny and bathroom dark.

Okay if needing to break up a long journey, but not overly pleasant.

We booked this hotel as a pit-stop en route to the Lake District, but it was the worst decision I could have made. Although I thought I had found a bargain at £51 for a family room I was highly disappointed.

The room was very basic, which wasn't that bad - the worst part was when we saw insects crawling in the main bedroom light and other creepy crawlies inside the bathroom. The bathtub was mildew infested and it has a strange smell.

All I can say is that it was a very long night...!!!

The hotel is great for a single night stop-over. There is ample car parking available (about 50 slots). It is a no-frills place to stay and as expected, it comes cheap. The rooms are very clean and everything works. The view from the rooms are not great, but then, for a one night stay, you don't really expect a room with a view. You have good food options (only fast food though). Checking out is a breeze and over all it was a very hassle-free stay.

We were visiting relatives in Lancaster and managed to book this hotel for £9 a night. I thought it would be noisy from motorway, but it wasn't, beds were very comfortable and clean, extra pillows were available from reception as was extra tea coffee etc. Access from the southbound carriageway was not a problem, there is a service road that goes over the motorway to the north side service area. We stayed two nights and £18 for 3 people total was excellent value.

We have stayed at this Travel Lodge several times recently and with advance bookings, have been able to secure rooms at £29 per night.

Each time the staff have been very helpful, we have always been provided with extra pillows, tea, milk sugar etc when requested.

The rooms are as standard for the Travel Lodge group - clean, tidy, functional.

The situation of the Travel Lodge is convenient for Lancaster for our purposes and despite it's situation close to the M6, we have never been disturbed by any traffic noise.

The views from the rooms at the back are really nice, last time we stayed, we watched rabbits hopping about outside the window!

The only downside would be in relation to the access from the southbound side of the M6 if the lane across the motorway were not available as mentioned by other reviewers. Each time we have stayed, the barriers have been open - we have written to the Travel Lodge group about this, but not heard anything back.

Not the easiest to find! We paid £19 - booked through the Travelodge website. Not worth the usual £50 or so that is charged. We arrived late at night from the North of England - approx midnight! Never again - the access is via the Southbound carriageway so you have to go out of your way to get there! Very clean - even though in need of complete refurbishment and very tired.

I stayed in many Travelodges over the years and this one is not bad at all. I booked for £29 and adding the internet for 1 day for £10, this night set me back £39. I bought some rolls at the M&S shop for breakfast, so not too bad. BUT I decided to drive for dinner and found on the A6 southbound a nice inn where I had dinner. This place, the New Holly, PR3 0BL, T: [--] has single rooms incl. breakfast and WiFi for £49.-, Double £69.-. I know where I will stay next time!!! I am sure the rooms are fine. Dinner definately was!

Indeed, this Travelodge is on the Northbound M6, I managed to drive back via some small local roads, so not needing to make a 30 mile tour via the southbound M6. A Satnav is a good aid, or otherwise some very good map.

Stayed on route to Cumbria, simple room and simple check in. Paid £50 for a double room. Breakfast was extra - didnt bother looked very expensive. Rooms are brightly furnished though there is a certain "prison cell" feel to it. This is not a bad hotel and £50 doesnt buy much today in hotel terms. For one night it's perfectly fine.

Wow, how can one room be so bad in so many ways? Leaky horrible shower, mold everywhere, funky old fixtures, just a general feeling of Not Clean..... All night, while fighting an uncomfortable bed, I never stopped wishing that we would have kept driving to Carlisle or at least Penrith. If you are so desperate that you have to stay here, bring your own food. The worst food court I have ever been exposed to was at this same location. Not just dirty, this place is creepy. Avoid avoid avoid. By the way, the Travelodge in Durham was completely the opposite and a wonderful treat, so it isn't all in the name......
