Travelodge Glenrothes

the accomodation is excellent and the staff are very helpfull. however at the moment and my visit was 17th March 2025. All that week and maybe this week when you are reading this there are roadworks directly out side the hotel that make a lot of noise from 9pm until 6am. If I had known I would have stayed elsewhere

We found the room spotlessly clean and cannot fault that, however our experience was not about the accommodation, but our actual attempt to book a room on arrival. Our trip was to surprise a friend in nearby Kirkcaldy. We were not aware that if you dont book online, you are not normally able to pay on arrival. The receptionist it would appear was unable to help us herself, but after three attempts to book the room in the foyer, online via cellphone, and knowing we had just made a seven hour journey, she consulted her manager and tried to obtain the booking via her desk computer, to no avail, Each time we tried to book it via our mobile phone, it would not accept our cards! Three times we tried to book, each time the price was going up! Eventually, after seeing I was totally shattered and exhausted, being an elderly gentleman, her manager gave her a phone number to ring direct and our card was accepted at last, at yet another higher price. I would of thought that a Lodging house, by its very name, would allow you to pay on arrival, be it at a slightly higher price than on-line. Our plan was to spend three nights at the travelodge, but after our stressful experience, we left the following morning. Pleased to say, we found a hotel closer to our friend, which offered us nice accomodation and included breakfast, for less than the room only at the Travelodge.

Travel Lodge was first class .Plenty parking.Was offered an early check in at 1415 That was at 1345 .I had to leave car in car park as I was going to Tynecastle in Edinburgh.My son picked me up at hotel and arrived back at 2230.No problem with room.

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
