What does Travelodge do?
Travelodge is a budget hotel chain offering simple, low-cost rooms in towns, cities, airports and roadside locations across the UK, with further hotels in Ireland and Spain. It makes money mainly from room sales, using demand-based pricing so rates rise and fall with occupancy and booking time, with extra income from breakfast and bar cafe sales. Its hotels are leased rather than owned, keeping the business focused on operating them. The first Travelodge opened in 1985.
