I am usually not a big fan of Travel lodges but this one was cool simply because they had more comfortable beds which have been upgraded to have charger spots by the bed side. The location isn't very great because there are not many activities around but to be fair it's by the motor way, with your car you can access anywhere close by easily
Perfect stop over. Considering that it’s so near the motorway I was surprised how quiet it was in the room. Room was spacious. Well equipped. Very clean and comfortable The staff exceptionally helpful, polite and cheerful
Nice big clean and comfy room, took the dog. Disabled parking and level access. Ideally situated to visit family in Barnsley.
Great location on the M1. Great value rooms that were basic but very clean. Very friendlyand helpful check in staff.
Stayed at this hotel in a family room, and the location was great. There was a WH Smiths, burger king nearby as this hotel is located on the motorway M6 services area. Staff was really good and helpful. The lady in the evening shift helped me register my car for the days that I was staying with them. Other staff was also helpful as and when we needed anything. The carpets and the furniture especially the chairs in our room, were dated and was in need of an update. We had a great night sleep. Overall a great place to stay.
Rooms are modern with sockets next to bed which is handy! And are very clean, services here are very handy and employees are very helpful with questions on parking which they do your number plate too when you arrive and check in and knowledgeable about the area! Its location is great as not far from where I needed to be for the next day
Clean, functional, quiet, convenient. Reception staff super friendly and welcoming. Rooms are basic, but clean - and just about up to date (charging points next to the bed). All standard stuff - It's the warm welcome from the receptionist after a long drive that makes it five stars.
Stayed here as it's close to Meadowhall, where me & my son went shopping the next day. The room was fine, exactly what I was expecting. Service was minimal, again as expected. Location was great for us, right off the motorway next to the service station (burger king, Greggs, WHSmith etc) which was convenient for snacks. No complaints
A 2-minute walk from the M1 motorway, this down-to-earth hotel is 4 miles from Pugneys Watersports Centre and Country Park, and 5 miles from the National Coal Mining Museum for England.
