Great service, Nice rooms Clean rooms Happy staff Very central
My Mum and I were treated like family by the amazing team lead by Page: Michelle, Josh, Josh and the rest. Breakfast was excellent in terms of choice, quality. Cooking and value. I didn’t eat dinner there but Josh looked after us for drinks in the evening and the bar is pretty well stocked. Location is brilliant for local restaurants and shopping. If I need to return to Carlisle I would definitely stay there again.
Atypical Travelodge, you get what you pay for. No thrills but decent enough. No realm qualms on my weekend stay.
Had a great stay here on Tuesday 02/12/2025. The room was clean and a good size, the only problem was there are no sockets near the bed to charge our devices. The staff were very helpful and informative especially Gemma on the front desk who advised on places to go and parking. Would definitely recommend and stay here again, great location. Thanks Gemma.
Good hotel for a city centre stay. Views aren't nice and you can hear the street.
Booked a night to rest & have a shower. lovely rooms, with Comfy beds. Easy for Visitors coming from train station..
Perfect for Quick overnight stop on way home from Scotland. Managed tp park on street outside. (free if gone by 8.30) Comfy bed. Good shower (soap dispenser didn't work) greeted by a couple of birds in the morning. Great value.
Service fantastic. Two chaps on reception and bar great. Booked last minute and value for money great. Restaurants/bars in walking distance. Will certainly consider revisiting on the trip from England to Scotland

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
