The Good

• Large chain
• Standard amenities
• Wyndham rewards
• Deals and discounts

Travelodge is one of the largest chains of budget hotels in the world. They employ thousands of people worldwide and continue to expand in terms of building new hotels in various locations both in the U.S. and internationally. Despite being labeled as a "budget" or "discount" hotel, Travelodge does work to provide their guests with what they need throughout their stay to make them comfortable. While each Travelodge is independently managed, there are standard amenities available at most locations. These services include:

• Comfortable beds: each bed is also fitted with clean and comfortable sheets
• Free TV and room phones: each room comes with a number of standard channels and room phones
• In-room coffee pots: also available in the lobby
• Swimming pools: for travelers with kids, a swimming pool is just what is needed to keep even the youngest guests entertained

As part of the Wyndham branch of brands, Travelodge guests are also able to take advantage of Wyndham rewards. That means for each qualified stay at a Travelodge location, guests can earn points that can redeemed at a later time for free night stays or gift cards. Guests can also browse Travelodge's deals and discounts to ensure low nightly rates. This feature allows guests to book limited time offers for less and save on standard travel accommodations. Additional offers are available for members enrolled in the Wyndham Rewards loyalty program.

The Bad

• Not geared towards business travelers
• Pet restrictions
• Limitations

Travelodge is designed and geared towards supporting adventurous individuals and families. That being said, Travelodge is not as well equipped to satisfy the needs of those traveling for work or guests looking for a luxurious accommodation. Guests who wish to travel with their pets are allowed to do so, but there are some restrictions associated with their pet friendly policy. Policy restrictions include the following:

• $20/day fee for each pet
• Limit of two pets per room
• Pets must be well-trained and behaved throughout the duration of the stay

With thousands of locations available across the globe, amenities are not always available. Guests who have stayed at a Travelodge location will need to double check with each location they book in order to make sure the service is still available at that property.
