Came for a family funeral, but have stayed here before, it’s convenient for town centre shopping. Parking is a little frustrating as you have to park in Asda car park, so depending on what time you check in it can be a little busy, but really nice rooms, and breakfast was good.

We will be back!

We stay in Rugby a couple of times a year and have always used the Travel Lodge. I am so glad that I decided to switch things up. This was probably THE most comfortable bed I have ever stayed in. Staff were lovely and the room suited our needs. Rooms are clean, tidy and look quite new however, as others have mentioned, they can get quite warm, so consider this if you're someone thats gets hot at night anyway. The hallways/carpet could use modernising to improve the overall look, but this is just cosmetic. We will defintely be back here again. Xx

Came to me for a lighter to light cooker! The Electric went in he night, I had to shower and make-up in the dark could not use my hair appliance so had to go to a very important meeting disheveled, No, coffee or hot drink could have gone to the local coffee shop and taken away, the rest of the town all had electric, it was in the center of the town there was a costa 3 mins walk away.. No formal apology NOTHING! Unbelievable !

Newly refurbed, central location, good service

Recently refurbished, but not complete ... smart TVs not yet connected properly, for example. Done up to a nice standard, but a few minor snagging and design issues. There was quite a bit of street noise outside my room, but it was comfortable and the staff were very friendly and attentive.

Area was quite run down. So many shops closed down. Booked in to find that i had to park in ASDA car park and pay for parking when it clearly states that the hotel has onsite parking and that its free. Staff were ok but for a 3star hotel you would expect a uniform and some professionalism. Property is old but nice. They have room services and do food amd drink but we didn't sample it so cant comment.

Park in Asda for THE RUGBY HOTEL

Wonderful hotel with outstanding staff and rooms who are efficient polite and customer-focused. Point of reference: if arriving after dark, park in Asda car park as close to The Prince of Wales as possible. Walk through to the pedestrianised road and hotel is 1 min walk on right. £5 for 24hr parking payable in HOTEL!

Beautiful bathroom but no heating in the bedroom, had to get an electric heater from reception, window sill crumbling away and window needs replaced, also had a power cut in the morning which meant we couldn’t shower in the newly renovated bathroom which was beautiful
