Stay somewhere else when traveling to Barnsley. Not a nice place.

Old uncomfortable beds, pillows that are literally 1.5 inches thick or about a third as should be, no hair drier in room, air conditioner would not turn on, and you have to pay separately for breakfast. Holiday Inn Express a few miles away was much nicer and less money. Not a horrible place but if you can stay somewhere else, do it.

Stayed here overnight on the way 'up North'…read more Although I arrived late, I was greeted with a friendly welcome at reception. The hotel had also rung the night before to let me know the opening times for the adjoining leisure centre as well. Pretty impressive. Good size rooms with double power points under the bedside tables. Room has a work desk and kettle with tea and coffee. The room itself was clean but the kettle and cups could have done with a little tlc. Pre book breakfast and save £4 The breakfast buffet at the hotel is probably a bit risky if you've got a heart condition but it was superb! Free wifi for just 2 gadgets which could be tricky if you are travelling with kids but there is one of those handy TV hubs in the room which is also pretty impressive for this level of hotel. I tried the famous Barnsley chop in the hotel restaurant when I arrived. If you are a southern softy like me, I would recommend sharing this winter warming dish with at least one other person.

I didn't even stay here, I pulled up with my 73 year old father for a 1 night stay , we were…read morewatching a show in nearby Barnsley. It didn't look very nice but when we approached there were 3 , clearly drug addicts directly outside the door. We sat for a bit and 2 of the people went into the hotel and were clearly staying there and 1 stayed outside , we felt very unsafe and decided to leave. I called the hotel to let them know that we did not feel safe to stay and certainly didn't want to come back late after our show. She said yes there were 2 people who were between homes (homeless) and was about to move on their friend from outside . Not fair for paying guests to be scared of staying in a hotel that is housing drug addicts and did not feel safe at all. I have nothing against housing homeless people., however when thu are clearly addicts then paying guests should not have to be put in a situation with them. We booked into another hotel and the travelodge Bransley have refused a refund . They did say we could gave paid extra to cancel but I didn't think for 1 minute I would be cancelling so I just paid the rate , an absolute disgrace.I would never use travelodge again and for no offer of a refund is very very poor service, shame on you
