We were let down with accommodation (scammed) in Tynemouth, so heading back home we stayed here for 3 nights to recover from the trauma.
The only Travelodge in our experience which actually had a staff member on the desk most times we were coming and going. Usually you are met with a number to ring to summon someone. We travel with a dog and are familiar with the brand.
All the staff were really friendly and welcoming. The hotel was clean and well kept, if a little noisy being a stop off on the A1M and facilities open 24 hours.
It is very close to Richmond and easy access to the beautiful scenery of the Yorkshire Dales.
