Travelodge are selling this very much as an overnight stop over for a tenner. That shows in the list of participating hotels - e.g. the airports and those on major routes. Not so good if you want a cheap break at a destination - e.g. coastal or city break.
Cambridge Swavesey will be a popular one I suspect.
I had a browse...but I couldn't see any rooms available for a tenner :0(
probably doing something wrong, but used the arrows to check following weeks.

its nothing like the good old days of 4/5 years ago when you could book consecutive nights at virtually all lodges :(
had some great trips round scotland and wales on those offers :)
mind you - the hounslow ones are handy for london visits if you have a car. (free parking at the lodge unlike the central london ones and also free at weekends at hounslow tube station car park so hop on tube into london :thumbs: )
Cambridge Swavesey will be a popular one I suspect.
Yup, that one's normally pretty busy for all the people who get stuck on the A14!
Shame there isn't anything before September; my brother's found some decent stuff for his work travel so thanks to the OP tho' :thumbs:

i see lurkers have killed the site already! :lol:
Looking busy...
"There is a problem with the promotional search"
"Cannot find server"
:D
Not looking very healthy is it?
Quick question: What are they like if you have 2 adults and 3 kids? The rooms only take 4 don't they? What would they do if we just turned up with 5 of us (littleist is 8)
I think someone poured treacle into their host-server's harddrive 'cos it's all going

before it falls over, and times out with database errors.
Did it do this last time?
Didn't it start at midnight last time?
Perhaps they should not forewarn us ;o)

post it on here and the site will get hammered by lurkers, fact.
Balls, now working and Leicester Markfield isn't available on the 9th and 10th September for Renault Donington :(
It's posted loads of places and emailed to thousands so posting it on here won't make much difference.

trust me mike - it does ;) (over 1000 views and a handful of posts)
I learnt many moons ago that posting on here was detrimental to landing the rooms you wanted! :lol: (and besides you have taken over posting them now ;) , if the people that received the email did not post here until say an hour or so before it starts we would stand a better chance...)

Bit of a joke really isn't it.
Anyone managed to book anything yet or has the system totally crashed.

would hate to be doing this on dial up - mind you, thats about what they've reduced my 2gb connection to.
Oh well, nothing near Dover anyway
They've took the site down for a while now - nightmare

I've got a couple of weekend breaks appearing in my basket but my card is declined when I try to pay.
Checked with the bank - all ok their end (plenty of funds / no IT issues) so I suspect the booking system is only half up and running.
Anyone else had the same problem?

Coolio - thrussington is an easy travel distance.
Loughborough and Donnington Park are just up the A6 and the road is dualed most of the way.
This will take you to Kegworth and the M1 / A50 interchange.
Go on A50 and take first exit to Donnington iirc.

yes same problem, except mine are showing at a price of 0 Euros at the moment. different parts of the site keep failing at different times (different seraches, members logging in etc) v v frustrating. :brickwall
they have also limited searching up to september now - i was looking for oct/nov/dec :mad:
Manage to book 1 night in Knutsford M6 on Saturday 10th September for £10 so thanks OP. Nightmare system though!
All appears ok now - just booked a few nights for November. Seem to have tons of availability for Nov & Dec, for those how like to book early :thumbs: (remember Fred Pontin?!)

Like APJ just found the system has picked up speed.
Booked 3 weekends away - Medway, Cambridge and Chippenham Leigh Delamere (don't even know where that is).
Now to find some things to do at these places :)
I'm trying to book a couple of nights away in October and November and their website is still crap. At twenty past three in the flippin' morning!

Trying to book some nights to save me commuting the hour to and fro work, but the SITE IS DRIVING ME MAD!!!!
mr L
I found the site poor. You will pull your hair out. Don't go ther without a stiff drink!!!!!!! You will go round in circles.
t
managed to get the nights I needed for a tenner, maybe worthwhile registering with the site so you get advance e-mails from Travelodge of their lastest offers

Heathrow Heston M4 Eastbound
Heathrow Heston M4 Westbound
Are both in Greater London, although they might be difficult to get to without a car
Well the offer hasn't started yet, so I doubt they've gone.
Anyone see these dates in the original posting
