Travelodge Hotel - Chippenham Leigh Delamere M4 Eastbound

Friendly staff, comfy bed and even had a desk fan in our room which was great given the hot weather we are currently having 🥵

Stopped to escape the heat (33 degrees) and have a rest without an advanced booking. Person passing the front desk (not sure he was the receptionist) said they were short on cleaners so may have to wait, came back after 10 minutes saying room was ready. We were given Room 130: a room found to not be fit for habitation. I say this because it stunk of damp and mould. Particularly notable when the window was shut. We shut the window to reduce the ingress of heat and the stench kicked in. Awaken by scratchy throats and feeling congested. We packed up and left asap. The other issues were: 1. No mattress protector on the double bed, just a flat sheet over the mattress. We had to improvise with bedding from the single bed. 2. No hand soap in dispenser, just a mug with a bright green liquid in it by the side. 3. Body wash dispenser over the bath was dirty, fell apart to touch. I would have liked the opportunity to complain immediately however there is no mechanism to do so beyond the operation team on site who clearly have significant issues which include: health and safety duties and managing hygiene requirements. Totally disappointed shocked and appalled. Biological hazard v Extreme heat : Extreme heat won!!
