I enjoyed my experience staying at the Travelodge in Bournemouth. I was visiting someone & it was the perfect place to stay for the evening. Reasonable price for booking a room for the night. The room was clean & tidy. The bed was large and comfortable. I had a really good night's sleep. They had a kettle and tea, coffee & milk & make your own drinks, which I felt was a good touch. Purchase of breakfast in the morning was separate but also not too expensive. They offered everything from a cooked breakfast to fruit, cereals, drinks, yoghurt, toast, etc. I would recommend that you book the Travelodge for an enjoyable experience and some time visiting Bournemouth, which was great! In itself. The area has lots to offer people & provides an enjoyable time for everyone.

A nice and relatively cheap little hotel for the location and they allow dogs which was perfect for us. The only downside was having to pay extra for the parking. And the third party app was confusing. There should be a clear sign to the ticket machine at the top of the ramp out of the car park instead of wasting time with the rubbish app which tells you there is no spaces...

Me and my partner stay here every time we go to visit my family and every time we are pleased with our stay. When we stayed here last we decided to try the food at the cafe here and the food was amazing and needs to be spoken about more. I recommend ordering the sausage and mash because it was delicious. Overall we rate this place 5 stars.

I stayed 4 nights in October for the Green Party conference which was held close to the pier. This hotel is about a mile out from there (a little over half that to a choice of restaurants) and was perfect for me. A really good price and the staff were brilliant. My one *small* gripe was having to change rooms (I'd added a night to my origonal booking and was assured I'd not have to). Breakfast at £10 and change is very good value and a couple of evening meals I had were decent quality too. If you don't mind being slightly remote this is perfect and you're a short walk from the beachfront which is a nice, flat walk to the main pier. It's very clean, comfortable and was quiet.

I have stayed in Travelodges and similar for work pretty much every week for 12 years. The staff here are in the top ten of any I have met. A genuine smile from someone when you get back to digs after a 12 hour shift can actually turn your bad day into not such a bad day. Highly recommended.

Beds weren’t that comfortable and pillows were awful however I can’t say enough about the staff! Excellent all of them and that to me saved the day. Yes the beds and pillows weren’t great as I said, but the rooms were clean, newly refurbished and the breakfast wasn’t amazing but kids eat for a £1 so you can’t complain.

We had a lovely room we stayed for 2 nights. First night we had a issue with another person smoking in the propery. It was delt with quickly and very professionally. Staff was so helpful and so nice. We had a beautiful room very clean. Thank you for the relaxed stay it was just what we went for. Only thing i will say is internet is poor here you do get 30 mins free then you have to pay. We managed without this. We took a projector and some movies and had a blast.
