Travelodge Edinburgh Dreghorn Reviews

I am disabled and had an early morning appointment at Shawfair Hospital 5 miles or 11 minutes away via the usually congested ring road. I therefore booked into Dreghorn to avoid the peak traffic over the Queensway Crossing from Fife, navigating the notorious A720 and the queues at Hermitage Gate. The lodge is just off that road along side a big Shell garage, It proved to be a find. I parked my car in the blue badge space next friendly reception and was checked in promptly, with assistance offered to take my ky and bag to my disabled bedroom which was clean and well fitted, with working kettle for tea/coffee and working wall tv. It only offers a cold boxed continental breakfast which was adequate for my needs. This is not a glamourous establishment but satisfies basic needs with a well equipped walk-in shower and toilet which adds confidence to a disabled client walking with a stick. The bed was comfortable and the sheets spotless. There is a security key scan between reception and sleeping accommodation. I was not affected by noise as some others have been. Checkout was painless. The only downside was the poor lighting and signage around the entrance to the Shell/Travellodge complex and at the lodge entrance. But allow 20 minutes @ 0730 to reach Shawfair on time and when driving into the strong winter morning sunlight -that ring road is really dire! In essence,Dreghorn is good value for money for a one nighter.
