travelodge and overnight bike security.

[GrahamG]

Actually, I forgot that I've done this before - stayed at the Travelodge in Sunderland and they put it in their store room behind reception for me!

Any I have been in seem to have minimal staff so doubt if anyone will be there to challenge you.

On booking you can usally specify a ground floor and often they have access through another way other than reception.

or windows, as they are known

well i dare say a bike isnt taking up any more space and is no more of a fire risk than a wheelchair or a pram. And yes, travelodges are indeed the venue of choice for unspeakable acts and questionable liaisons.

unfortunately I on the other hand am one of those people who would almost certainly get caught doing something i shouldnt ; i'd be the one caught on the bbc news because there'd been a major incident in the area, or the one whos car was flattened by a boulder in a freak accident, you know the kind of thing. bit of a shame really as a night away in a travelodge is the ideal opportunity for a bit of mischief, he he

Yes, but not with a bicycle John.

A bike mebe, but that's a different matter altogether.

Is this the kind of Marathon you are on about!?

Bike in hotel room

 

[JohnRedcoRn]

yeah but thats a nice looking bike, i'd shag it too

 

[CopperBrompton]

No problem at all. When I booked the room, I asked for a ground-floor room "as I need to take a bike into the room."

That guy would have got off (pardon the pun) more lightly if he had been caught trashing his room. I can not believe that ruling. Maybe it would have been different if it had been a woman's bike ;-) ??

Be covert about it, don't let them see it might be a problem until after you've paid.

If that doesn't work there's only one receptionist, you need a friend to create a diversion outside.

 

[CopperBrompton]

Travelodge itself doesn't do breakfast, it's always a local pub or service station.

 

[wafflycat]

Some do. There's one at Cockermouth that has a 'cafe bar' bit included in it which does a very limited range of foods and a sort of breakfast..

I haven't tried taking bikes into the Travelodge, but they have let us take in an extra child (family of 5 - why don't they do some larger rooms?) - as long as we provide the bed - but I have always rung first to check this.
