The Swan Hotel is a perfect little spot to stay in should you find yourself in Stafford for a few…read moredays, as I did. It's got a great location, smack dab in the middle of things, you're never too far from your hotel. It's charming and the rooms are much larger than I had anticipated-- big bathroom as well. Everything was very clean and tidy. Staff was warm and friendly and ready to help at a moment's notice. It is an older building, so you will encounter some sloping floors in places and there isn't any AC in the rooms which was slightly problematic during the heatwave we encountered. I didn't get under the blankets once to sleep and the one meager fan in the room was expected to do quite a bit of heavy lifting to try and keep things reasonable. Loved having a pub downstairs for coffee and libation anytime of the day. I'd definitely stay again, just hopefully during a cooler spell!

Been here quite a few times now, went there for lunch last weekend, and back in march for my…read morebrothers 21st birthday with a group of 9 of us. THE BIRTHDAY amazing food (the scotch eggs are particularly sexy- I never thought I would say that about a neat wrapped egg, but hey) Super understanding of my little Nanna's dietary requirements, and didn't bat an eyelid at my dad looking like a nutter trying to independently move his eyebrows. Sharing platter puds are rather to die for too. The also brought a little slate (#wewantplates!) of handmade chocolates with candles in for my brother too. Nice wine list, my only complaint would be, around 30% of the staff were seriously grumpy, luckily though this was mostly outweighed by the other wonderful 70% THE LUNCH club sandwich and blackcurrant and soda (because this girl loves a drink that takes like medicine!) took a while, and was mostly lovely, but I have never seen so much mayonnaise in one place, it was how I met your mother erickson layered salad overkill!!

Couldn't fault it on value for money. It cost £50 for a family room for 4 sharing. Two single beds…read moreand a double and still ample room. TV in room and tea making facilities.

There's not much to say about one Premier Inn that you can't say about them all and I've found the…read moreones I've stayed in recently all to be of a consistently high standard. Clean, spacious en-suite rooms with a massive comfy bed for £50 a night or less, dotted all over the country in convenient locations. Sure, you can't tell one from another once you're inside and I wouldn't stay in one for a proper holiday as I like a bit more homestyle charm, but if you're breaking up a long journey or need an overnight stay somewhere (the one at Watford North is great if you're going to the Harry Potter studio tour) then I'd always look at Premier Inn before any of the other budget style travel inns. Staff are always polite and pleasant, rooms are clean and comfy, there's a place to eat right next door if you need food. Job done.

Needing a place to stay after a show I decided to book here. Conveniently located in town and with…read morea nice old feel to it. We waited for some time to be checked in but the gent was friendly enough. The room itself was clean, the bed comfy and all the usual amenities like tea & coffee, hairdryer, towel heated rack, tv etc. The shower looked puny but packed a punch too! Anyway here is where it loses its stars..first the double bed was actually two singles squished together so it dipped in the middle making spooning uncomfortable..the breakfast itself didn't look to be of a high standard for the money and most annoyingly we were not made aware of any construction work. After a late Saturday night the last thing I wanted was to have industrial machinery acting as my alarm clock at 8am. When we tried to check out there was no one there to complain to so we chucked our key into the pile. Overall the room was comfy but it lacked a good service..food and the unexpected noise..

Despite quite blatantly being a motorway-side hotel built several decades ago, I was very…read morepositively impressed with the amount of care that has been put into room detailing. The room had a special acoustic double glazed window to exclude the roar of the motorway. The bathroom had a high quality liquid soap that didnt visibly erode hands as inevitably happens in most hotels, and a separate soap dispenser in the shower cubicle with a creamy brand shower gel, that was conveniently attached to the wall. A massive and powerful showerhead made for one of the most pleasant morning showers ever, and a mixer tap in the sink finally allowed me to wash my face without any burns or frostbite. Service was fairly pleasant and breakfast had a fair amount of choice.

But I have to say the room was so clean and felt so new that I was wowed and the sound proofing around the windows must have been excellent. because I awoke refreshed the next day - and all the cars had gone without waking me! The other great thing was that this Travelodge is on the edge of a small retail park, with just a 50 yard walk to a Pizza (Hut - I think) and a KFC - both open until late (KFC was midnight), so there's a chance for a coffee and some chicken or even a nice sit down meal before retiring. This Travelodge gets **five** stars from me.
