it's like alan partridge

It's totally scary, have you ever slept in a Travelodge? We have, and do, but only when we can get the £5-15 a night deals and have no other choice. I spent 5 consecutive nights in one once and that was more than enough. More a necessity than a life choice.

Now, if it were one of those old-fashioned hotels I could understand it - like the ones Agatha Christie characters (usually old gents) used to live in!

OK...no util bills, no housework, no decorating or DIY or trades but..It's a bit of an empty existance don't you think? I quite like having my own home (or rather buying it back off the Building Society)

Can I ask, do they have big plates

They obviously must spend a fortune in eating out every day surely? Travelodges don't have rooms with kitchen facilities do they??

BONKERS

but in such a good way

What odd people. Have Travelodges been around for 20 years though? May be they can claim "squatters' rights" after 21 years and claim ownership of Travelodge plc.

Totally bonkers. Travelodge is shit. PremierTravelInn is far nicer. Last time I stayed in a Travelodge, there was one towel, no shower curtain and the tv was broke.
Had to live with it coz we'd checked in at 1am (late flight back from Spain), but we wrote an email to complain and they refunded our money!

There is a hotel near me, there longest resident is IIRC 14 years and counting.

I think they had to eat in the Happy Eater or the other one (eew!)

I mean Little Chef

Lol! Dh and I have fantasised about selling the house when all the dc have fled the nest, buying a camper van and alternating staying at our darlings' abodes with stopping over at Travel Lodges.

I agree with BouncingTurtle that Premier Travel Inns are much better. And ime Holiday Inns are better still! We've used them since 1987, when travelling up and down between Aberdeen to Kent.

lol

Lol - can we have the details of your sordid love life in a hotel, Cali??
