Spacious Super Room

I recently tried a Super Room at Travelodge Southampton, and it was fantastic! The room features a spotless bathroom and lovely carpets that make it feel more special than regular rooms. I was pleasantly surprised by the additional comforts that elevate the overall experience. Definitely worth it for those looking for something a bit nicer.

Delicious Great Value Dinner

During my stay, we opted for dinner at the hotel restaurant. The menu offered excellent value for money, with two courses for just £12.95! The meal was delicious and hit the spot after a long day. While we skipped breakfast, I was impressed by the options available.

Convenient Parking Options

I was relieved to find the hotel provides a small car park for guests. For only £1.50 overnight during my stay, I secured an excellent parking spot right behind the hotel. It made my visit hassle-free without worrying about the cost of parking in the area.
