Travelodge Maldon

The Hotel is aware they have no aircon but do not advise - if you have a room facing the carpark then you will have a restless night - there is a wood factory opposite and all you can here all night is the fork lift truck moving backwards and forwards

Friendly staff, clean rooms, standard breakfast, but it’s noisy outside both day and night, mainly due to being on a busy industrial estate, along with the seagulls, so you can’t really open the bedroom window (unless you wear earplugs), which isn’t ideal when it’s warm at night, and the air con doesn’t work.

Clean, modern, very helpful staff and well placed for a stroll into Maldon for an evening meal. Well situated, easy to find and plenty of free parking

Me, my fiancée and our little one who is severely autistic, had a room booked in the Malden travel lodge for 12/07/2025 until the 13/07/2025. This was a spontaneous stay as we originally had plans to go into London to celebrate my fiancées 30th birthday but due to unforseen circumstances we could not go hence the stay in Malden. On arrival we were met with water dripping from the ceiling at the air con unit. Which provided wet flooring which wasn’t nice to start with. Our little One due to her autism tends to gravity toward windows and like to look out of them, we noticed that the window would open way more than it should and potentially she could fall out. She put her feet out numerous times and this was very stressful and scary for us. We went downstairs to ask for a key to lock the window so that no harm ever happened but we were met with rudeness and abruptness regarding this by the reception staff. We were told there is no keys to do this but on the lock there is a key hole in lock for a key to lock the window. We explained the situation and again was told nothing can be done about it. We asked to go to a different room in a different level as we were on the 3rd floor but again no locks for the window. Me and my fiancée did not sleep a wink due to the fact of fear and did not enjoy the hospitality or services given by travel lodge. We are very unhappy and I would like to know what you will do about this and what compensation you can provide because this experience was utterly disgusting and unfair. Best wishes Mr smith (Room 304 travel lodge Malden town centre)

No AC and staff didn’t care. Said technician had been unable to fix it previously. Outside of hotel with filthy with litter.

It was a very hot night but the aircon did not work. We opened the window to try and cool the room and were then woken at 4 am by the screaming seagulls outside We spoke to reception the next day who were very apologetic and explained that there had been an issue with the aircon in the building for some time and it was difficult to book an engineer to fix the problem. Apart from that the room was very good
