I have been to many Travelodges as well as their competitors throughout Scotland in the past two years and frankly, the majority are looking run down, they are not very clean, staff are a hit or a miss, the outside area if filthy etc etc. However, I got a real surprise when I checked into the Travelodge Perth A9 for two nights recently. Very pleasant receptionist checking me in. A big smile on her face, a real welcome and told to just ask if there was anything I thought the staff could help with. The corridors were clean, even the carpet and the paint on the walls. The door locks worked, the window latches worked, the bedroom was spotlessly clean, again no stains on the carpets or anything like that, the soap dispensers in the bathroom were full and actually worked (unlike in a good few other Travelodges I have styed at). There was also plenty room in the free carpark, the Inn was right next door and although not cheap was reasonably priced and had tasty fayre. I was surprised how good the pizza was. Overall, a very pleasant experience. Whoever runs and looks after the premises, facilities and the staff at the Travelodge Perth A9 should be commended by the company because he/she is obviously doing an excellent job.
