Can anyone advise me on a French "travelodge" equivalent in the St Malo
area...
one where 2 adults and 2 children (age 14 & 10) can share a room for the
night ...
We only need it for 1 night as a stop over ... and the accommodation I've
found so far
only allows a max on 3 people - so I would need to pay for 2 rooms.

Thanks Andy

This may sound daft but are you looking for the equivalent of a UK
Travelodge or a US one?

Do you want to have only one room so everyone is together, or to save money?
It's quite possible an Ibis or Etap or Formule 1 hotel would be cheaper than
other options, even with 2 rooms.

But apart from that, a quick search showed this quad option for 109 Euros:

Obviously it's not right at St. Malo - are you just looking for any nearby
location?

Some motel chains have family rooms sleeping 2+2. There is a B&B Hotel
(that's name of a motel chain) 2 miles east of Saint Malo town centre at La
Découverte shopping centre.

Rate is 50 euro for a room sleeping 4, and you can book on-line.

Whats the difference?

I've stayed in many a UK travelodge, I assumed USA ones were the same?

Graham Harrison

When Forte bought the US chain they subsequently used the name in the UK.
The principle was maintained but there are subtle differences. In the UK
Travelodges are all the same, new build, standard room, etc. etc. In the
US they run from the same as a UK one up to full service hotels with
restaurants etc. (or they did last time I checked).

I thought that, until I stayed at Heathrow Travelodge. Which wasn't new
build or standard design at all. In fact it was a grotty little hole.

Having booked Travelodge for my arrival back in the UK, I thought I could be
sure of the type of accomodation I would be staying in. I have stayed in
about 5 or 6 different travelodges around the country, and as you say, they
have all been purpose built, with the same room layout, very clean, etc.

The Heathrow travelodge was dirty, old, staff were unfriendly, the room
looked extremely shabby indeed. I thought the lift was going to break down
it looked so old. The sort of place I would expect for £30 a night, not £70.

This time I'm taking a night flight back from the states and connecting
straight back to Newcastle without leaving the airport.
