My stay at Travelodge Retford Markham Moor was quite pleasant overall. The room was clean and spacious, really hitting the mark for a stopover during a long drive. However, the noise from the nearby travellers' camp and the lack of parking spaces were a bit of a downer, but I managed to have a good night's sleep regardless.

The location is super convenient right off the A1, making it easy for travelers like me. However, I did find it tricky to find parking since it shares a space with a KFC and Subway.

There were plenty of food options nearby, like KFC and Subway, which was convenient. I didn't try the breakfast offerings, opting instead for something from Subway, but I appreciated the variety.

All the basic facilities were there and everything was in working order, although I'd say the TV could be a bit bigger for comfort.

I had an overall decent experience at the Travelodge Retford Markham Moor. The staff were friendly and helpful, which made my stay more pleasant. However, parking was a bit of a hassle due to the limited availability with nearby food outlets like KFC and Subway. The room was clean, though it could use some upgrades and the carpet looked a bit tired.

The room was quite standard, clean bed linens, and towels, but it could definitely use a refresh. I noticed the carpet was in need of cleaning, and the bathroom amenities were basic. I slept well, even though the room felt a bit warm at times, and I appreciated the desk fan.

I was greeted with a cheerful 'good morning' by the staff, even at 5 am, which was a nice touch. They were quite helpful in providing extra tea and coffee, but some staff seemed less engaged than others.

The location is directly off the A1, making it a convenient stop. However, it’s situated between a garage and food outlets, which can be noisy at times. Parking was tricky due to the nearby restaurants, so it took me a while to find a spot.

There were plenty of food options nearby, like Subway and a KFC, which was handy. I liked that I could grab something quickly after a long day, but I had to bypass trying their breakfast pack for something fresher.

The hotel had standard Travelodge amenities, and while the tea and coffee facilities were available, I found the wifi offer wasn't worth it. Also, there wasn’t a hairdryer in the room.

My stay at Travelodge Retford Markham Moor was pretty much what I expected for a budget hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful, which is always a plus, but the place felt a bit run down and the sound insulation in my room could really use some work. While it met my basic needs, some areas, like cleanliness and maintenance, could benefit from a bit more attention.

The room I stayed in was generally clean, but a deep clean was definitely needed. I had issues with noise from the room above and found some stains on the bedding, which was disappointing.

Finding the Travelodge was a bit tricky since it's sandwiched between a garage and fast food outlets, but it does offer good access to food options. Still, the constant traffic might be bothersome for some.

Breakfast is a grab-and-go affair at reception for £5, which includes some basic items. There’s also a McDonald's and Subway nearby for other food options, which worked for me.

Facilities were basic but adequate; no breakfast on-site might be a downside, though. KFC and other food joints nearby helped cover that.

I had a decent stay at Travelodge Retford Markham Moor, especially given the low price of $35 a night. The staff were really helpful and friendly, which made my experience more enjoyable. However, finding the hotel was a bit tricky, and there were a few issues like the shower pressure being quite weak and the dim bedside lamps.

The location is between a truck stop and a garage, which made it noisy at times. It wasn't the easiest to find, and parking was somewhat limited due to nearby eateries.

There are fast food options like KFC and Subway nearby, which are convenient but not exactly gourmet. I appreciated having places close by for quick meals.

My stay at Travelodge Retford Markham Moor felt welcoming, much more like home than a typical hotel. The staff, particularly Karen, were exceptionally friendly and helpful, creating a warm atmosphere. However, the location is a bit unusual, nestled between a truck stop and fast food outlets, which means there's a constant flow of activity.
