    I'll tell you next week as I'm booked into the Travelodge at Greenwich [emoji3]
    Did Travelodge last week - arrived 10pm, left 7:30am - clean, comfortable and quiet, and there was a geocache in the carpark. £40 (would have been even cheaper if I'd booked in advance). Why would I need to spend more?

    Stayed in a Days Inn just outside Stevenage once. You know your life is great when you are living in a Days Inn!!

    One up from sleeping in the car. And I know contractors who have done that before.
    I slept in a tent during summer and put the bill from the campsite on my expenses. Best way to stay away from home for work ever. Weather has to be good though.

    never really noticed - have stayed in a few premier inn's generally they are clean and quiet

    travelodge are trying to pull themselves out of the tulip.... have stayed in one in Manchester recently - it was ok in that it was clean and not smelly and they served a half decent lager at the bar but what do you want for £45 per night

    Have same experiences with Premier Inn mobile signals. Their free wifi is tulip as well.
    When I open the window and put my phone next to it I usually manage to get a 3 or 4G signal so I can at least use my phone as mobile hotspot

    Stayed in Premier Inn's last year going from the South of England to the North. The further North you go, the better they are. The one between Stockton and Middlesbrough is actually quite nice. Travelodge are universally awful.

    I was trying to camp-out in the hotel room. Gas stove for the tin of Beanz, plus the electric toaster, together they set off the fire alarm. So, yes, but only from certain ones, but only for another 3 months, not that I am returning though.

    Worst hotel was were the toilet waste from the room next door backed-up through the shower waste. That place had a hole in the pub floor into the basement, so they just covered it with a table.

    Quick look online seems to be the case all over the country.

    Question is are they blocking the signal.

    Anyone else have the same issue.
    The Premier Faraday Cage strikes again.

    I've been in hotels which 'somehow' block mobile signal, but then provide really really tulip WiFi.
