Comfortable Family Room

I booked our stay for four nights and our family room was perfect with a king bed and a single bed made up for us. The room was basic but extremely clean and comfortable, with adequate tea and coffee facilities. It made our short stay enjoyable.

Basic but Sufficient

While the room is basic, it has everything you need. The bed was firm yet comfortable, and there were hot drink facilities available. It definitely served its purpose for our stay.

I recently stayed at Travelodge Darlington and had a decent experience overall. The staff was friendly and welcoming, which made me feel right at home. However, I did encounter some issues with the hot water not being hot enough, and I found the shower drain was slow, which was disappointing. Despite these hiccups, the hotel was clean and functional, making it good value for money.

My stay at the Travelodge Darlington was pleasant overall, but there were a few hiccups. The hotel is clean and the beds are comfortable, which made for a restful night. However, the lingering smell of smoke in my room from previous guests was disappointing. It's conveniently located with a great pub next door and ample parking. I'd definitely consider returning for another visit. 🌟
