Travelodge Durham was formerly a garden centre called Archibalds and previous to this a local railway station for Durham called Gilesgate Station. Many parts of the original structure have been kept with an extension built to form a majority of the bedrooms. The history of the site adds a unique character to the Travelodge. The location is ideal for travellers from the A1/M travelling to Newcastle and further north, though it is very hidden from the roadside due to the trees.
