Really good base for Blackpool. We booked 2 rooms for 2 nights as coming as a family of 6 and one of those rooms was an accessible room. Check in/parking Parking was free for us as my father had a blue badge- get it validated each day at reception PLEASE IGNORE THE SIGNS AS THAT IS ONLY APPLICABLE TO NON TRAVELODGE USERS, all they need is to see proof of the blue badge and the name corresponding to the booking. There was plenty of disabled and normal parking as it was a main car park for Blackpool. We managed to have the same spot every time we would come back to the Travelodge. The normal parking is at a discounted rate for Travelodge customers- I think it said 7.50 for 24 hours which I don't think is bad at all. Again validate your parking at reception for the discounted rate. Olivia checked us in and she was very helpful and went far and beyond for us. She even managed to get our second room on the same floor as the accessible room so that we were far from each other, we did have to wait until check in time at 3, however the accessible room was available from 2:30. Olivia allowed our kids to free juice from breakfast machines on arrival and we brought 3 coffees whilst we waited for our rooms and she even asked if she had made them okay as she had never used that coffee machine before- assumed it was new or something. Rooms Both rooms were clean and spacious- the only thing I would say is the windows on the outside could do with cleaning but that is very nit picky on my part!. I like to sleep with 2 pillows reception and cleaning staff were helpful in getting extra pillows for us! Food We paid for breakfast for the 2 nights and had 1 evening meal there. The breakfast was fine- On the first morning the queue was nearly an hours wait!. it was so very busy though on both mornings maybe due to the clocks turning back and it being half term. Both times they were able to get a wheelchair friendly table for us. The evening meal- the food was lovely we had a couple of curries and kids pizzas everyone ate everything up! the knickerbocker glory ice creams were lovely and were nut safe for my allergic 4 year old which is a win! I don't know what waiter served us but yet again very friendly! The only thing I would say is they need an extension on their dining space to cater for how many people stay and use it- again I think that shows as a positive. All in all I would use this Travelodge again. I have stayed in a few that are much worse and usually we book premier inns for this reason however the one we usually stay at didn't have 2 rooms available.

“Thank you to the excellent staff”

The staff on reception and in the bar are excellent, very helpful and friendly. The buffet breakfast is very good. Be aware car parking is through a Ringo app or phone number, a bit of a pain if you are not use to it but the staff will always help, £7.50 for 24 hours but also a charge of 40p for us… more

The staff on reception and in the bar are excellent, very helpful and friendly. The buffet breakfast is very good. Be aware car parking is through a Ringo app or phone number, a bit of a pain if you are not use to it but the staff will always help, £7.50 for 24 hours but also a charge of 40p for using the app or the phone, you need to get a code from reception before booking the parking to get it at that price as a hotel guest. WIFI is 30 minutes free each 24 hours or £3 a day. Some end of season maintenance required in the room we were in and the carpet could do with a clean. The bed was comfortable and the pillows were plump but are quite small but the bedding and towels were spotlessly clean.
