Never to the dark side Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I have no problems with Travelodge hotels for me personally. BUT why do those who generally use Travelodge hotels look so fed up and don't want to communicate with any one else maybe they are NOT football followers? Its looks like its mainly BRISTOL CITY fans at the THREE travelodge hotels in Blackpool next weekend(friday and saturday nights) As the SOLD OUT signs have been put up at all three travelodge hotels next weekend Chelsea are at Bolton on the sunday and Norwich are at Man Utd on the Saturday So wear your BRISTOL CITY colours with PRIDE next weekend where ever you may be staying in the blackpool area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob k Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Its certainly a question that needs answering, I too would like to know the answer?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedZepperin Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Some people just have a negative mindset. Compare that to Keith Millen: "If they keep performing like that and showing the same sort of desire then our first home win won't be far away." That's measured optimism. He's not saying that we will definitely win our next home game. We may have to go six, seven or eight games at Ashton Gate before chalking up our first win there this season but we will get that victory in a not too distant future. Can't see what all the fuss is about on here or why people staying at crap hotels are so grumpy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abraham Romanovich Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Its certainly a question that needs answering, I too would like to know the answer?? To play devil's advocate , could it be possible that people at the Travelodge Hotel only become grumpy when they see a subbuteo team set up at the breakfast buffet, recreating Brett Pitmans header. Just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanatopia Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 To be fair an average Travelodge is blighted by:- 1. Being in a grime filled part of town 2. Suffering from paper thin partition walls and floors 3. Employing the least motivated or trained staff for the longest hours and the smallest amount of pay 4. The lack of national maintenance monitoring over its franchisor base 5. Pigeons in their rooms who take up residence under beds - that one was in a news paper article i read recently 6. Tending to attract the poorer end of the market because they are cheap and the less money you have, on average in a western society, the more miserable you are likely to be. 7. Being too close to noisy and dirty roads and football stadia where the average lot of an away fan is not usually pleasurable. Its all fairly straightforward, therefore, why Travel Lodge guests are generally a miserable lot. I suggest instead you seek out a decent local B & B... far far better quality and value and not owned by yet another UAE fund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought Personally, I'd cheer up if I saw a subbuteo team at the "breakfast buffet". I might even try to get my face in to the crowd shots. However, isn't the Travelodge the hotel chain that provides "breakfast in a box"? Grim doesn't begin to describe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chappers Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I'm not miserable, I have normally got a room for less than £20 so am very happy. Never found much to moan about with travelodge, they are cheap, I don't go there to converse with the staff, rooms are comfortable enough and have a bed and a bog, and it made a trip to Inverness affordable. Hotel was a bit out of town, but the number 5 and 6 busses sorted that out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Night84 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Very apt topic, I currently live at a Travelodge hotel in London. I have been here for 3 weeks so far. And I can categorically confirm that the majority of staff are grumpy and/or rude 7 days a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ashton Gater Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I quite like the Big Blue Hotel in Blackpool. Always take Premier Inn over Travelodge though. Was hoping to go to Blackpool this year... but yet again it clashes with other arrangements... annoying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better maintained than most and just a few minutes walk from the Thames. Cross the bridge for cracking pubs in the Kew Green area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InCider Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 If I knew how I would put up a picture of Alan Partridge going "AHA!" But I don't know how. Anyway, people are miserable because they know that they have just/are about to sleep in someone elses semen stains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downendcity Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Do the team stay in a Travel Lodge before home games - that would explain a lot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Travelodges are the grimest of grim cheap hotels. Premier Inns are at least clean, which is a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
