They've more or less suggested it would be a good idea for us to transfer even though others are still (ignorantly?) booked in to the new hotel. Decided to go along with the transfer and just booked our train tickets before they go up any more!!

As for Travelodge, never had a problem must have stayed in an average of 10 different ones each year for the past 6 years. We've only had to ask for another room twice and that was in the same hotel within minutes; any one whose interested, it's the Newcastle one near the Quay, absolute dive in need a serious renovation.
The travelodge nearest to the quay in Newcastle is a brand new one. Now, if you are on about PREMIER INN, i agree with you, but this is a Travelodge thread.

I guess you're talking about the one on the docks near to the Liver Building? If so you may get moved to the other one in town which is near to the Mersey Tunnel. To be honest, I'd rather stay in that one anyway. It's closer to the museums, shops, pubs etc. and if the weather is anything like this in February, the docks are the last place you'll want to be by. I used to work on the Albert Dock and getting to work in Winter is no fun at all.

After being knocked down and rebuilt. The old one was in a sorry state.

No, I'm talking about the travelodge near the quay. I don't know if there's two but I didn't see another. Just to be sure we mean the same one, I mean this one.
Now I know part of it has been extended, but it's the old part I'm taking about, the bit right at the front of the building; it's in desperate need of renovation. Unlike the extension which is the same as the newer travelodges.
Like I say it's not indicative, most of them are perfectly fine, the old ones, newer ones, newest one and even the taken over/rebranded ones; although after saying that the one between Kings Cross and Angel is a little bit tired too (it's a take over, it's like something out of the 40's).
I've also had the pleasure of staying in The Regent Palace just off Piccadilly Circus before it was shutdown and subsequently renovated. I only found out afterwards it was well known as a house of ill-repute, I can well believe it after our stay too!
