"Stayed here before. Easy check in and room clean and tidy. Only issue was the beds. Base too small and one foot missing. This made them uncomfortable to sleep on. Breakfast good and staff very helpful."

"Clean room, great breakfast, and friendly, welcoming staff. At breakfast time Tracey was very attentive, as always. The Plus room facilities were great too!"

"My wife and I have been faithful fans of Travelodge for many years. Indeed we stayed at a Travelodge at Bournemouth only a week or so previously. Because you always know what you'll be given - a safe room, a clean room, usually a quiet room, a comfortable bed, extra pillows if needed, a couple of chairs, writing space, good lighting, a functional and clean bathroom, hot water, towels; usually a lift and sometimes a small snack bar but, in any case, a convenient, usually fast-food eatery nearby, and a car park. The Braintree Travelodge is no different. It is a very substantial block, set beside the town's bus station so if you arrive by bus, perfect. And also quite close to the town's station so if you arrive by train almost perfect. But what if you arrive by car? Well, seemingly also perfect because, underneath the Travelodge is a huge car park which, at first sight, would seem to be part of the Travelodge. Wrong: It is not. If you bother to read the Braintree Travelodge Small Print - and how many of us do - you will read that there are 5 free car parking spaces and 7 payable ones. The rest of the car park seems to belong to the Council. So where else can you park? The Station Yard. But does everyone want to leave their car in a Station Yard overnight in a strange town where security may be lapse if it exists at all. Not perfect at all. So, if you are travelling by car, the Braintree Travelodge might well not be your first choice, especially as there are a couple of hotels belonging to a very similar but slightly more up-market chain situated on the Braintree By-Pass, both of which have more than ample car park spaces and adjacent Eateries at which we have also stayed and would most highly recommend."

"My 4th time in the hotel. Location is great since it is in the center of town. Food is also good but I would prefer more variety for breakfast hot meal. No elevator so difficult for people travelling with big bags. Staff is just friendly and super helpful."
