Condition of room poor no air conditioning, breakfast poor. Constant traffic noise + near to station and tube. Near proximity for London sights.

The train was excellent after we had managed to get seats, we had previously reserved them but due to a train cancellation it was announced that there were no reservations in place. On arrival in kings cross we purchased daily saver tickets for the tube and made our way to marylebone where our accomodation was. We arrived at 13.30 to be told that check in was not for another hour unless we wanted to pay £10 for early check in, we decided against this and went to get some lunch in a nearby pub. On eventually checking in we were given a disabled room , this concerned me as there were a lot of emergency pull cords around the room and would have hated to pull one in error so I requested that we could be moved. The receptionist was very nice and gave us a room facing out onto the street. The room was in serious need of refurbishment I felt, with walls that were marked,windows filthy,mirror cracked, only 3 coathangers and the bathroom was very grubby with no plug for the sink , dirty floors behind the door and at the side of the toilet and the bath/shower were grubby and therefore never used. On a positive note the bed linen was immaculate along with the towels and the location of this travel lodge was spot on and only 1 tube ride into the heart of the city. With its location it is a pity that the clenliness of the place lets it down.

We came to london for the badminton world championships and looked for a hotel with easy access to wembley arena. This hotel is opposite great portland st station and was ideal for our purpose. The staff were, without exception, excellent. The hotel is a good base for most areas and we will definitely book this again.

Breakfast never showed up was given a free drink voucher on departure - unacceptable.
