We stay in Rugby a couple of times a year and have always used the Travel Lodge. I am so glad that I decided to switch things up. This was probably THE most comfortable bed I have ever stayed in. Staff were lovely and the room suited our needs. Rooms are clean, tidy and look quite new however, as others have mentioned, they can get quite warm, so consider this if you're someone thats gets hot at night anyway. The hallways/carpet could use modernising to improve the overall look, but this is just cosmetic. We will defintely be back here again. Xx

Recently refurbished, but not complete ... smart TVs not yet connected properly, for example.
Done up to a nice standard, but a few minor snagging and design issues.
There was quite a bit of street noise outside my room, but it was comfortable and the staff were very friendly and attentive.

Wonderful hotel with outstanding staff and rooms who are efficient polite and customer-focused. Point of reference: if arriving after dark, park in Asda car park as close to The Prince of Wales as possible. Walk through to the pedestrianised road and hotel is 1 min walk on right. £5 for 24hr parking payable in HOTEL!

Terrible experience.. Went for dinner same person doing everything inc cooking dinner Dinner was a joke. Not the staffs fault she was lefy to do everything it was embarrassing for her. Came to me for a lighter to light cooker! The Electric went in he night,
I had to shower and make-up in the dark could not use my hair appliance so had to go to a very important meeting disheveled, No, coffee or hot drink could have gone to the local coffee shop and taken away, the rest of the town all had electric, it was in the center of the town there was a costa 3 mins walk away.. No formal apology NOTHING! Unbelievable !

Beautiful bathroom but no heating in the bedroom, had to get an electric heater from reception, window sill crumbling away and window needs replaced, also had a power cut in the morning which meant we couldn’t shower in the newly renovated bathroom which was beautiful

This was a last minute booking, when our AirBnB apartment turned out to be a disaster. The hotel accommodated us at short notice and it turned out to be terrific. It was centrally located, clean, warm, and well maintained. The staff were welcoming and helpful. We only stayed the one night, but would definitely return if we had occasion to visit Rugby again.

Looks like it has had a recent refurbishment and the room was quite good however it was difficult to check in and even though it had a very large smart TV I could not make the cast function work. I also was not expecting an additional charge of £5 for parking

Staff very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was good value. Difficult to find initially as not clearly signed. Should let visitors know upon booking that they should park in the Asda carpark.

Staff was delightful. Bathroom was amazing, although it could use something non-slip in the shower. It could use a hook or 2 in the bathroom. No air conditioning and very hot with only a tiny fan. Staff more than made up for this. They were wonderful.
