The next £9 room sale at Travelodge UK starts 6am Wed 29 Dec British Time - 4PM Qld time. The deal’s valid for stays 1 Jan to 29 Dec 2011. (Normally you have to book 21 days in advance, but for this sale only, you can book anytime.) The usual price is £29 to £59, so this is a top little deal.
Also another unique trait of this sale is that its for bookings from the 1st. In previous sales you have had to book for 6 months in advance. When we were living in the UK this is how we would get around to see the country. They are kid friendly, clean and really just awesome.
Would highly reccomedn getting in early hence why I have posted early so you can start planning now. If you happen to be planning a trip to the UK this year then this is the way to do it.
My personal favourites are:
Covent garden - central London hotel close to all the action - These ones will go first so get in quick! if you are a bit slow (please note the site will be slow) then often after an hour some rooms on some nights will go to £19. Still cheap though and we have stayed here on a Friday night in April before although that has to be the cheapest deal of my life.
Edinburgh city - Please note that trying to get the cheap rooms in August is always a bloody nightmare!
Brighton Beachfront. Its important if you are planning a Brighton trip that you choose the beachfront one as its close to all the action. The not beachfront one is still o.k but you will need a car.
Kendall - FOr those that fell in love with the Beatrix potter film last night. Although not in Windermere its only a 20 minute drive from it and there is no cheaper way (at all) to do the lakes. Somehow we stayed here for a week over easter 2 years ago. Well almost there was one night we had to go to the one at Burton down the road and check back in and also one night we had to pay £19 and on this sale we had the book the room one night at a time. You will also need a car if you want to stay here. (you could rent one from Edinburgh and drive down)
Extra note: Parking
Travelodges will always try and charge parking but most of the time (apart from places like London where there wont be parking anyway) you can park across the road for free.
Good luck and if you dont make the sale in the first few hours dont despair as you will still find the odd bargain.
UK Travelodges' are one of the most run-down and filthy hotel chains i have ever seen, you'ld b better off sleeping on a park bench
