We stayed for one night in a family room in this travelodge in the city of Preston we arrived late as we had traveled over 200 miles. once we stepped inside the room (216) it smelt very strongly of disinfectant as if they were trying to disguise another smell by using large quantities of it. we then had to make up the sofa bed and once we pulled off the seating to make it in to a bed we found crumbs and and dust and dirt. IT all looked as if it could have done with a good hoover as well as being sewn up in a few places as the sofa and seating had some holes and were frayed in places.the sheets however were clean. The carpet looked dirty although was at least hovered - The toilet light flickered constantly as if strobe lighting had been installed. the towels were hard and would have ex foliated an elephants hide. At 2am in the morning what choice do you have other than to sleep on it all. Breakfast was no better nor was the room in which you eat it in. after trying 2 tables and finding them both sticky to the touch as was the floor we were standing on we sat and had cereal and made some tea and toast -one of our party tried the help yourself to the cooked breakfast but after 3 mouthfuls pushed it to one side and said it was disgusting.
we admit we did not pay very much for the room but still feel the basics of being clean, vacuumed and sticky free are anyones right when entering a hotel
