Ramada Loughborough

Looking for somewhere to stay on the cheap (ish) in Loughborough, I scanned a few travel sites and came across Ramada. For about £50 per night, it’s a pretty decent value. You could get cheaper just down the road at Travelodge, but a few mates of mine stayed there and said it was quite noisy at night and they were woken up… not me, in my surprisingly comfy bed at Ramada.
It isn’t that impressive from the front, and the views aren’t anything to shout about, but what would you expect from a small town like Loughborough anyways? The staff were very friendly and receptive. My wake-​up call seemed to vary a few minutes here and there depending on the morning, but it wasn’t a big issue. They also offer breakfast if you want to pay a bit extra for it, but if not there are plenty of places nearby to grab a bite of eat for just a couple quid.
Located right in the middle of the city, I was able to walk everywhere from Ramada. I was at a conference at the far end of the uni, so that was about a 2-​mile trek, but that’s not so bad. If you’re more of a bus person, the hotel is just next to the bus stop as well.
It’s kept clean and tidy. You can tell the construction is a bit of an older-​style, due to the plethora of stairs scattered randomly throughout the building (I walked up and down 4 or 5 small sets of stairs to get to my room), but if it’s really that much of an inconvenience for you I’m sure you could request an easily accessible room. Doesn’t take that much effort, though.
I don’t know if I’ll ever be returning to Loughborough, but if need takes me back I know I’ll be staying at the Ramada.
