A fairly decent hotel. Decent room. Good price too. For a budget friendly hotel, I had a fairly pleasant stay here. I got a nice view of the planes taking off from my room which was nice. I was a lil bit disappointed in my recent visit where my room door, made a very loud screeching noise whenever I want to leave the room and go back into the room which was not unpleasant at all. In addition, the moment I got into my room, I heard a bleep every minute coming from the smoke detector. It was very annoying and got me frustrated. Went to the reception to make a complaint about it and the receptionist, young worker forgot the name, was apologetic and understanding of the situation where all of the rooms were having that same issue due to a fault or something with the smoke detectors. Unfortunately, regarding the loud noise of the door, I was unable to move rooms. But I appreciated their friendly customer service and as mentioned, understanding and apologetic. In the bathroom though, there were a few small hairs which disappointed me a bit. I would give this hotel another chance as the location is convenient to get to and from the city centre.

Read moreWe stayed at Travelodge Castle Bromwich for 3 nights 08th - 11th April 2023. The room was Clean, Warm and Comfortable. However it was looking tired and in need of some work, Carpets are faded and in need of replacement, paint work was in need of refreshing, bathroom door did not close correctly (it only needs to be planed and refitted) House keeping was non existent. Even after putting request on door for towels, emptying of bins and toilet rolls nothing was done. (even after reporting it) I had to go to reception to be provided with needed items. Having said this, Reception staff were polite, friendly and helpful. I am aware that this is a budget hotel, but there is definitely room for improvement.
Update.... Returned this week (12th May 2025) for a 3 night stay. Improvements have definitely been made. Rooms have been decorated, and re-carpeted. Staff friendly and attentive. Well done Travelodge. I will return and I am very happy...
Read moreSmall hotel located right next to a Toby Carvery. But.... they don't have an agreement with them so there is no cooked breakfast. Normally nor a problem but my stay was booked by my company which included breakfast. Which came in a box... Consisting of a small plastic container with Kellogg' s Corn Flakes, small carton of milk, tiny muffin and small carton of orange juice for which you pay the princely sum of £5.50. Total value of around £3.50 So really overpriced.
The room is comfy enough but the chairs are really uncomfortable. So if you are stuck on your own in a far flung location don't expect to be comfy at night if you have to work in your room.
The property looks modern enough in the outside but the rooms are tired.
The saving grace is the staff. Very helpful and friendly. The manager was very efficient and friendly at check in.
Would I stay here again? Probably not if there's somewhere...
