Travelodge hotels are great if you know what to expect...
I stay in them quite often when I go back to the UK, if you book in plenty of time you can get some amazing deals. My parents just stayed in a Travelodge in the Northeast for 9GBP a night -you can't beat that!
I find then newer the hotel, the better. I have stayed at the same hotel in Watford for a couple of years, every time I return the hotel looks more worn and just less "nice". I get the feeling that because the rooms are so cheap that maybe people don't look after the rooms as much as they would in a more expensive hotel.
The rooms are basic, but fine. There are no hairdryers in the rooms - you can borrow them at reception - however, they only have a certain amount and can run out.
One thing to watch out for, if you plan on staying on a Friday or Saturday night, try to avoid staying near a town center. I have spent many nights lying there, listening to drunken people returning to their rooms and being loud at 3am. You can't phone reception to complain, as you don't have a phone in the room!! You also quite often have to pay for parking.
As with everything in life - you get what you pay for.
