Lodge Drive Serviced Apartments

I liked the space of the flat and the location wasn't too bad. We had 1st floor apartment and the lift was a bonus. Over all for the price it was a very good value.

We didn't like the noise from adjacent public car park, the duvet on the bed was very heavy and not comfortable. We didn't have toaster in our flat, but I could have asked for it. There was lots of noise and children shouting from neighbouring flats. Car park was very convenience.

Close to everything if you are staying in the area, clean, but basic

Noisy room near the doors which opened and closed, also you can hear people on streets at night who usually seem to be drinking

Location was great, just a few minutes walk from station and shops were just round the corner. Parking was no issue , there were plenty of spaces.

It's was very hot and fans would have been fantastic. A few small things missing like a toaster, iron and some basic cleaning things would have been good. Also a clothes airer would have been good to dry clothes.

The apartments were in a great location for shops, restaurants & public transport. It was a bright spacious apartment & it was lovely to have a balcony. There was a smart tv so we could use our streaming services. It was a quiet enough area even though we were close to the road it wasn’t too loud.

In general the apartment was a bit shabby & could do with a facelift. The couch was pretty worn. There were no pillows or blankets to make it any way homely or comfortable. The fridge/freezer was hard to close as it clearly needs defrosting. The extractor fan filter fell off (which was later fixed). The bathroom was roasting & quite mouldy on the shower & the towel rails. The en suite shower door wasn’t working very well. The kitchen bin is tiny so our rubbish built up quite quickly and we had to bag it up separately. A recycling bin would also be welcomed. The blinds in the living area are falling apart and some of the poles fell out while we were trying to open and close them. The apartment is advertised as including toiletries - I would expect this to include hand soap and shower gel. Neither were included so we had to go out and buy some. There wasn’t enough toilet roll for the weekend either so we had to purchase more. I would also expect tea and coffee to be included as a basic offering but it was not. We were travelling during the heat wave this summer so I had requested fans in advance of our arrival as I knew we were arriving late in the night. It was confirmed there were a few available & would be there for us. The fans were not present & we had quite an uncomfortable sleep in the night. I had to contact lawrence again the next day to request some & he later dropped them off. He then ended up coming back to take one of them off us, as it apparently belonged to someone else but he claimed he would come back with another one. He never came back, so we only had one fan for one of the bedrooms to sleep with that night & the other bedroom had to go without. There was no bath mat in the shower/bath in main bathroom and I slipped & bruised my knee really badly off the side of the bath when getting out. This is clearly a safety hazard.
