Travelodge Stafford Central

Had a great stay again. I went out of my way to stay here. The room was clean and tidy. Booked a room to look over the car park to view my van. Staff were friendly and polite

Friendly staff but room was not clean, dirty bedding, spills of liquid down walls, dust everywhere, dirt down walls in the shower. Noise from room above, dogs barking running around above room. Some rooms downstairs looked messy from outside(curtains)

A quick overnight stay at this travelodge. It's very central but most importantly a 15/20 minute walk to the local parkun for those tourists looking for the I. This is something that the manager has clearly got on board with and has a photo sign and gives guest a little goodie bag. Honestly it's the first time I've seen this in a hotel and definitely a selling point. The staff chat about it and seem genuinely interested.

The room itself was a good size and clean. What more can you want?

Would I go back? If I'm in the area again at parkrun then most definitely, I'll also recommend the hotel to others attending that event.

Stayed here on 14 February over night me and my husband and as soon as we walked in such a warm friendly atmosphere staff were so welcoming the room was spotless lovely hot shower staff couldn’t do enough thank you for are lovely stay will be back in April

Ok, it's a Travelodge, it's on a retail park. BUT! We booked in for one night as my wife had a hospital appointment early the next mornig. Booking in, we were greeted by the Hotel Manager Duncan Keenan, who was extremely welcoming and very friendly and chatty. As this lodge does not have a bar/restaurant, Duncan quickly recommended some eateries in the town of Stafford within walking distance. However, if you merely want fast food, the place is surrounded by all the big names. This lodge was very smart, very tidy and very clean. The room was equally so. Comfortable, clean, tastefully decorated, and the window opened! A very quiet and peaceful night was had. That's it really, but the purpose of this review was to mention Duncan and his staff, who all gave hospitality a good name, and they are a credit to this chain. 5*

A really lovely (newly refurbished) hotel. The staff were fantastic, so helpful and welcoming. It is central with shops and places to eat nearby. About a 20min walk from train station. Such good value. I would highly recommend.

Wonderful staff on desk who are very helpful and polite, Alison was very kind and helpful and assisted us with the parking machines when we struggled. Room was lovely and clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay again

Had another great stopover! Nothing is ever to much trouble for staff. Kindly organised a taxi to town for us and recommended a lovely place to eat. We will be back soon

Duncan and alison both discriminated against myself but I carnt go into details on here about that at the minute as the case is currently with solicitors to sue this travel lodge however if you are disabled & autistic then you are much better to stay clear of this hotel because of duncan and alison. They had a severe impact on my mental health and also my situation/life as a whole.

The location is great rooms were an ok size but not much storage in them. I was placed here by the Council due to being homeless so the storage would be ok for someone staying a short stay. I stayed from the end of december up until the middle of jan. I am a disabled young women with multiple health issues.
The downside to this hotel is there is no laudrette nearby within walking distance but there is a taco bell, kfc, burger king also home bargains on the same retail park.
There is a vending machine in the reception which is expensive but does drinks and chocolate.

The room when I first arrived was clean and bedding was clean.
Their isnt an actual plug socket next to the bed but is usb ports so you can still charge your phone/laptop however it charges extremely slow so you are better of taking an extention lead with you about a 4m length to be able to charge your phone or laptop if you want to use it at the same time as it charging.

Jasmine the lady on reception was kind caring helpful and all round a credit to travelodge. Nothing was to much trouble for her and I had spoken to her alot. She was so supportive and understanding. I stayed with my cat penny who loved jasmine too. I had spent hours just chatting to her and she really did make my situation 100x better. She didnt have to spend the time she did with me as shes a receptionist at the hotel but she did. There was times where I would of quite easily ended up in an even worse state mentally had it not have been for jasmine's support. I am autistic too which makes things difficult and jasmine did seem to understand my autism and troubles with my physical health too. Honestly I really hope she moves onto a company who actually cares for its customers/staff as she really deserves a better company than the travel lodge Central stafford if that is what she wants to go. She will go far in life with her attitude care and attention that she provides to the people staying at the travel lodge.

Charlie on reception i didnt really speak to much (mainly on nights) however he was pleasant and polite whenever I did speak to him and if I needed anything he would always help no matter what time of night it was.

YanLi I didnt really speak to much but she seemed to be pleasant and polite and again was helpful whenever I needed something.

Mark I found ok polite and helpful at first however his attitude changed a few weeks into my stay despite me not doing anything wrong and he made me feel extremely uncomfortable with how his attitude changed.

Zayne I thought was helpful and polite however there was an issue at the end of my stay where he breached my gdpr in relation to a very serious matter that happened at the hotel so a complaint has gone in relation to this gdpr and also a complaint will be made to the ico because If I was to report this issue to the police then this could of impacted a police investigation ontop of that this left me even more vunerable whilst I stayed at the hotel for the last few nights of my stay.

Ruby who is a supervisor at travel lodge in tretham did some shifts whilst I was there. She is so lovely polite and helpful and so chatty which really does make a difference.

There was a strong smell of weed in the corridor from a council staying guest which management didnt really seem to be doing anything about apart from to tell staff to spray air freshner to mask the smell.

This hotel accepts pets including dogs and cats.

Passing through the countryside and stayed for one night. Hotel was renovated in Aug 2025 and it’s excellent value for money. Reasonable paid parking too. Area has excellent dining options, lovely town, friendly people. Shopping options too. A bit sad we never stayed more than one night. Best Travelodge we have come across, for cleanliness, quietness and value!

This was our 5th stay at this particular Travelodge and it was good to see many of the same staff, always a good sign for me as if the staff stay they tend to take care in the job and clearly like working there.

The manager Duncan greeted us and recognised us as previous customers straight away welcoming us back.

He ensured we understood the parking system and gav dispute room keys. We had had a great room on the second floor and as always nothing was too much trouble.

This will not be our last stay in fact we are back again this weekend.

This Travelodge has had a refit recently with all the rooms fresh and uncluttered.

For those new to staying here there is plenty of eateries in walking distance as well as a Starbucks for those that need a strong coffee first thing in the morning.

If only there was type 2 electric charging for my car it would be absolutely perfect.

Base for post-christmas visit to Stafford family and friends. Much better than previous visit 3 years ago. New management and staff who amazing. We were welcomed around 8pm by YanLi who had just started her overnight shift. She was so welcoming and friendly and talked us through the hotel facilities and surrounding area. Our dog loved her as she gave her a complimentary pack of treats! Hotel was clean, quiet, comfortable and functional. We chose this particular Travelodge because it has a lift as didn't want to carry our dog up and down stairs. As it turned out we were on the ground floor anyway, but I'm glad we gave this hotel another chance. We were delighted with the experience. We checked out and had an equally lovely chat with Duncan, the new manager. It's clear he has made a big difference to the hotel and staff. Well done Duncan, and keep up your great attitude YanLi

We stayed there last night and a spoon as we arrived we noticed a strong smell of weed. Our room wasn't very clean, there was a pill on one of the chairs and hairs in the shower. The kettle was smelly and the cups weren't clean enough. We've stayed there before, but it's never been this bad - it's put me off. I would have spoken to the staff on the desk, but there was nobody around at the time.

I've stayed here before and I'll stay again. The staff are so helpful, Alison and Duncan couldn't do enough to make our stay as great as possible. The new look rooms are great and really modernised the rooms especially bathrooms. Thanks for another great stay

I slept but kept tossing and turning and waking up due to feeling uncomfortable being here I had a bad feeling , the smell of cannabis in the corridor and strong smells of what I can only assume was alcohol , the other big complaint of mine would also be FALSE ADVERTISING !!! when we booked the size of the TV was an ok size but on arrival found the TV to be a lot smaller , when we asked receptionist the reason to this she had told us that the rooms in hotel have different size TVs but why wasn't this stated on booking.com , and then when we asked to be moved to another room it was almost like they didn't have a clue about what they were doing and when we did move room the TV was dinky.

we had booked for two nights I would never stay here again , I also don't like travel lodge due to the fact that you only get a certain amount of free WiFi then you have to pay aswell as the fact that the breakfast option is in my eyes very basic , at least all hotels should do a buffet style breakfast offering cereals croissants fruit yogurts up to full English with free WiFi , we were moved to the accessible room which had what looked to a blood stain on the carpet , an accessible bathroom which reminded me of hospital , the carpets were old , if hotel was refurbished then why weren't the carpets replaced and tvs all the same size aswell as the little welcoming touches that make a world of difference.

yes this is a budget hotel but there should be certain standards and the hotel should still be well maintained , we are not staying the second night despite paying for two nights so this says a lot , my advice is find a better hotel if looking to stay over in Stafford , we paid £140 for two nights we wouldn't pay this again well not to stay here anyway , when I looked on booking .com to compare prices with other hotels there are hotels out there with swimming pools and half board or with breakfast included the same price or roughly a little bit more I would rather have paid a little bit extra to stay in one of those hotels however they weren't available on dates we had chosen.

the only good thing about the hotel was the curtain pole and the Christmas tree , it was good that there was lifts but I find it strange how given the fact with the smell of alcohol and cannabis on the premises there wasn't any CCTV cameras in the corridors outside rooms well we didn't see any any way and staff didn't seem to care that much about the smell of cannabis other then saying they sprayed around which isn't good enough especially for other people staying over who have to smell that , this is probably the worst hotel we've stayed at , it was bad for us especially because of our mental health autism and also the bed made my fibro flare up even more, mattress felt firm and very uncomfortable,

with basic rooms like this if you don't offer a full breakfast you should at least provide small food hampers in each room rather then charging customers extra for a small breakfast to go for £6

little touches like that can make a lot of difference , no I'm not a hotel critic but I should be , and also if there are professional cleaners they should be sacked as this place isn't the cleanest,

my husband had to clean the plug hole of the walk in shower due to it being dirty and poorly maintained , this should be done before or after each person's stay , it shouldn't just be left to get worse , the water wasn't going down properly so my husband cleaned it out as best as he could ,

there was no air conditioning , room was roasting like a sauna fair enough I understand that it's cold outside but not everyone does well in a warm environment and this also needs to be taken into consideration, even after my husband turned the heating off and having the window open all night it still didn't help which would probably explain why when we first walked in here there was a horrible dampish smell which is off putting to say the least ,

they should offer fans and other items like an hairdryer IN THE ROOM , oh there was a bottle opener , we both have autism and sensory issues aswell as anxiety and depression , I also have fibromyalgia and my husband also has asthma so being in a hot stuffy hotel room defitnately didn't help , we came here because I had to see my kids and Also for us a bit of a break away however we would have had more of a break killing ourselves walking to the moon and back (LAUGHING OUT LOUD)

please take heed of these comments as reading this and making simple improvements goes a long way you may find that if you do that you'll have a better rating and more people will want to stay , you'll even have a better turn over.

Oh and just one more thing the biscuits where are they a simple touch can make the smallest difference just a thought !!!!!!herbal teas also as not everyone drinks tea or coffee and even hot chocolate especially in the colder months

Stayed last night , lovely new refurbished room with a comfy bed . Manager was a welcoming and friendly .
ideal for Stafford , 10 min walk into town.

Our stay at Stafford Travelodge was great. The manager (Duncan) and his team could not have been more helpful and considerate. This Travelodge is well managed with a lot of care and thought going into maintaining a clean and friendly environment as well as those all important little extras such as welcome bags for children and dogs.

Stayed for two nights. Clean and comfy after refushbishment. Friendly and helpful staff on arrival. Quiet room on the back of the hotel.

Everything went to plan - staff were welcoming and talkative.
Hotel was clean and restful.
Had the mis-fortune of leaving some bits in the room when I left.
Phone call to hotel was answered by Duncan who handled it well and sent my bits by post to my home address.

Almost 24hrs after the checkout, I found out that I had lost my Garmin watch and hoped I must have left it back at the hotel. Went back to enquire, the staff diligently asked about the item description to confirm the ownership and yes it had been found earlier and left at the reception with honesty. I was relieved - extremely appreciative and delighted at such a kind helpfulness of the hotel/staff. Thank you so much, will definitely stay again in the future.
Rooms were spacious enough for a family of 3. Located at a walking diatance from a nice little town centre - enjoyed the riverside walk to the Park and had a delicious breakfast in the town!
