Travelodge Wellingborough Rushden

We were in the area visiting family and planned to visit Rushden lakes. The Hotel is ideally situated for a visit to Rushden lakes, which is an easy 5 minute walk away. The Travelodge is located directly off the A45 behind the services, which is a petrol station and a boarded up Diner. If coming from the East you have to continue passed the hotel to the Roundabout and come back on yourself. The Hotel has had a refurb and is clean and tidy and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The pillows and towels are OK (but nothing special) and the bed was comfortable. We experienced a quiet night and a decent sleep. We got a really good deal for a Sunday night which made it exceptional value, this being the reason the Hotel got an extra star on the review. The location isn't the best if you are planning a longer stay, but for an overnight stay (or 2) for a family visit, work or a visit to the excellent Rushden lakes complex it's fine, there are many dining options, a lakeside walk and shops to explore.

Stayed at this Travelodge whilst doing an archaeological dig and it was perfect. John on reception was so lovely I loved coming back each evening and having a good natter with him. The room was very clean and very spacious and I felt right at home. The bed was so comfy I slept very well. I slept each evening with the windows open and it was very quiet. I would recommend this hotel to anyone and will definitely be staying again if in the area

Pleasant stay at this hotel and the added surprise which i wasn't expecting was the close proximity to Rushden Lakes shopping. At first I thought the only shop was the nearby filling station, but was informed by hotel manager Anne Marie of the Rushden Lakes shopping area which has everything in terms of shopping that one could wish for, and as it's about a 2 minute walk from the hotel I would most definitely stay at this Travelodge in Wellingborough Rushden A45 Eastbound again.

The staff were absolutely lovely, and it is walking distance to lots of nice restaurants (behind a car park, along a barrier, and down a track) but that's all I can say from a positive point of view. The room was run down, there was paint on the carpet, which was worn and thin; the bathroom was shabby; there were SO MANY spiders, plus a large beetle on my pillow in the morning. I was bitten in the night. It was hot and there is no aircon. The location of the hotel itself is behind a deserted, derelict diner, across from a petrol station; so it is not very nice surroundings either.

The hotel is conveniently located for retail, leisure and going for a morning run around the lakes. The staff are always super friendly and recognise me as a returning guest, which can’t be said for other places I stay at for business. The hotel and rooms are always clean, and I’ve never needed to report a problem, but I know if I did the staff would be there to sort it. I never hesitate to book here when popping up to work locally and would recommend it to anyone.

I think this might be the best travelodge I have stayed in which is a bit random because it's only a service station one. I arrived late at night but the gentleman who checked me in was so kind, friendly and helpful. The room was spotlessly clean, spacious, modern (with USB plugs). There was a bath which is always nice (i dont know if every room has a bath). I needed an iron in the morning and the ladies were so kind and helpful. No problems parking and conveniently located by car.
