Travelodge

Travelodge, the UK�s fastest growing hotel brand will be offering rooms at �15 per night from the 3rd October till the 31st October 2004. The offer is based on a minimum 2-night stay at a range of great locations throughout the UK, which include: Edinburgh, Glasgow, York, Cotswold, Brighton and the West Country.

Bookings can only be made online at www.travelodge.co.uk/save and must be made at least four full days in advance of stay. All stays must take place by 31st October 2004.

Shakila Ahmed, spokeswoman for Travelodge, said: � With half term approaching our autumn offer provides the ideal opportunity to have a family mini-break within the UK. Travelodge recently conducted a survey amongst 5000 people and discovered 80% of respondents have visited less than 10 of Britain�s top attractions in the last ten years. What�s more, one in three respondents visit a UK tourist attraction less than once a year.�

�Our autumn offer means that a family of four (2 adults and 2 children under 16 can stay in a family room) can stay from as little as �3.75 per person per night - less than the price of a burger and chips! Leaving more money to visit the great attractions available in the UK�.

All Travelodge bedrooms offer a comfortable setting with a king size bed, en-suite bathroom, colour TV and free tea and coffee making facilities. There is a choice of bedrooms � double, disabled and family. All Travelodge bedrooms are being refreshed as part of a refurbishment programme, which will be completed by the end of the year.

Breakfast is available at all Travelodge�s, With the option of eat as much as you like for �6.50* (Children under the age of ten years eat free of charge) or a breakfast bag delivered to your door for �4.00.

The top ten most popular attractions are: Blackpool Pleasure Beach, York Minster, London Eye, Edinburgh castle, Tower of London, Natural History Museum, Science Museum London, Wndsor Castle, Roman Baths � Bath and St Paul Cathedral.
