Travelodge Glenrothes

Clean and simple. Lots of rooms free. M&S and MacDonalds over the road. Bit rough surrounding the Lodge. Dogs are £20 extra which is nearly as much as the room.

Ok, let's start at the beginning, was easy to book and not expensive. Got there in the evening check in was fairly easy. Got to my room, and immediately things went wrong, room smelled odd ( should really have gone back to reception, but didn't) . Was tired and just wanted to rest. Was in the room a while and smell didn't get any better, then realised it was stale cigarette smoke, was worst in the bathroom, I guess previous guests had been smoking. This must have been obvious to housekeeping, and the place should have been deep cleaned. Went to bed, as I placed my head on the pillow I could hear a low frequency pulsating hum, just loud enough to be really annoying. Moved my bed, but made no difference. Still aware of the smell, I opened the window, but was obvious somebody was smoking hash very near my room ( reception was just under my room) , so closed the window. Him continued, going off briefly, but then starting. Just enough to make sure you couldn't sleep. Was still awake at 0200hrs, contemplated leaving and going home, but eventually got to sleep. Was awaked about and hour later by the room above, which had flooring with the loudest squeak. So back awake again and heading the hum. Again got back to sleep briefly. Then upstairs again at about Six, sounded like the occupant dancing about, floor so squeaky. That was it for me, time to get up. Possibly the worst night I have ever had in a hotel. Spoke to to staff on leaving,guy said he was sorry, and that was it. Really, very, very poor.

Nice basic hotel room clean and comfortable. I would like togive a special mention to the lovely helpful staff thank you

Easy to find , clean and friendly hotel. Pet friendly and amenities like McDonald's on the door step

Great for a short stay and pet friendly. The staff are very friendly and make you feel welcome, will definitely stay again

I used the Travelodge Glenrothes for a two week vacation in October. It's location next to food and gas/petrol was extremely convenient. I rented a car, drove around Scotland doing cliche Scottish tourism, and returned to Glenrothes each night, apart from a weekend next to Loch Ness in an airb&b. The towels were more starchy than I'm used to, but not a bad experience at all. The front desk can give you recommendations for laundry and taxi services, though I personally used a 24/7 launderette a couple miles away outside a small shop for convenience. The employees were friendly and helpful, and despite being able to hear other people's TVs from the hallway to a minor extent, once in my own room I couldn't hear anything from outside other than the fire door halfway down the hall opening/closing the few times on any given day. I mainly chose Travelodge Glenrothes as it was the cheapest option for a private room vs a hostel, and was very happy with the hotel overall.
