Travelodge Great Yarmouth Acle

For £35, good location, good-sized room (got two extra small beds as must have been a family room), standard amenities (kettle, instant coffee, tea, UHT milk pots, etc), bathroom clean enough with plenty of hot water (though low water pressure), best to bring your own toiletries. Staff were great so I would recommend on that alone - makes a huge difference. Drawbacks - mattress caused back pain as not great, and this is in a service forecourt - petrol station, Starbucks - handy but a driver decided to rev engine for some time at 1 am and took awhile to fall back asleep afterwards.

As I was visiting family I just needed somewhere to sleep and shower so this was perfectly situated.

We've stayed at this Travelodge many times including in the last few months. It's convenient for the boards and other tourist attractions. Can be great value, although little atmosphere compared to some of the inns in the area. Lady on duty on check in can be somewhat abrupt. Other staff are generally more obliging. Our room hadn't been cleaned properly and didn't appear to have been vacuumed - there were food particles/crumbs on the carpet from previous guests - maybe they had been short staffed over the Christmas and New Year period or something but this was disappointing. The rest of the room was clean enough although there was considerable dust in the bathroom fan vent. It was nice to get an upgrade to a family room as this had a small bath tub with a shower above (most rooms have just a shower) plus a table area. The car park is spacious but does get very busy and it has a lot of pot holes. There's a Starbucks on site and a large petrol station shop (with M&S Foodstore) but no pub or restaurant on site. There are a couple of pubs that do food a short walk away and some takeaways. The small pizza/kebab shop (Olivetree) is particularly good and does deliver. It's very popular with tradespeople and roadworkers - so much so that they have taken to putting signs up asking for work boots to be removed upon entry.

Travelodge are convenient and reasonably priced. The newer and upgraded Hotels are a significant improvement. A late last minute booking after a long working day, all I wanted was a shower and bed. No Soap in dispensers, not really good enough. Sure this is a rare issue but please keep on top of things Travelodge.

We were heading to a friends in Norfolk & staying Saturday night so I went on the travelodge site & got a great deal for the Friday night. We were greeted by an asian lady who was helpful & friendly at the same time. We were in are room after a few minutes, the room was spotless & it even had the heating on so it was warm on entry. There’s a garage across the site & it has a well stocked M&S, plus a Starbucks next to that. If you turn left out of the garage there’s a chip shop a 100 yards on the left. If you keep walking or driving in to acle there’s pubs & takeaways or you can have food delivered to the hotel. If you turn right on the A47 heading to Norwich, there’s a MCDonalds ten minutes drive on the left of the roundabout, which is handy as there’s no hot food in the hotel. If you turn left on the A47 you’re 9 miles from Great Yarmouth with the fun fair & seaside amusements. The hotel is being refurbished next spring which it needs & it will bring it up to the standards of other travelodge,s room wise, but to be fair my room was in a good condition with everything working as it should & it wont be long before we’re back in 2025. I’ll be back.

Waited at reception behind another couple for a full 20 mins. Called the number on reception, as did the other couple. Both of our calls went to an answerphone that would allow messages. Another couple arrived, we all continued to wait. Eventually, the most aggressive woman in the world arrived and told us that we hadn’t waited 20 mins, we shouldn’t exaggerate and we should have called the number on reception. I asked for her name (no name badge) she refused and told me not to be rude or shout, whilst shouting. All witnessed by the couple behind us, who politely said I hadn’t shouted and hadn’t been rude. Frankly, I couldn’t have been calmer. It was c. 17.45 on Saturday 7.12.24. The woman was a mature lady, with long blonde hair. Stay in lots of hotels, stayed in plenty of Travelodges, some for pleasure and many for business but never again
