Travel Lodge and Wifi (How much?)

[New POD]

Got a 6 month contract starting in Stoke on Trent, so started my usual trawl of what is really cheap for 4 nights a week.

My process is to put the post code in google, of where I'm working, Type bed and breakfast into the search box and book the nearest place for 2 weeks provided it's under £30 a night, before asking around in my first week and finding someone that wants a Monday to Friday Lodger.

Anyway the nearest place at a whopping £25 a night including breakfast was going to voice mail, and the next nearest place was erm Travel Lodge next to the A500 for £26 a night, so I'm thinking, well I may as well. Until I clicked on the Wifi icon. £10 per 24 hours or £20 a week. Seems a little excessive to me.

I sent them a bit of feedback via their website and booked 2 weeks or 8 nights in this leading up to christmas :

I might regret it, but they got my business due to the free wifi

For £25 a night it was not bad, apart from having to go across the landing to use the bog and shower, but there was a fridge in my room, and they had a microwave in the breakfast room, so I was able to have pingables rather than takeaways.

Yeah much worse places to stay in Stoke than Tunstall. Think you dropped on OK.

Try the Sneyd Arms for food one night, its in the Tunstall main square. They do a £5 carvery on some midweek nights and its good grub, much better than a ping.
