Travelodge upgrades city sites
TRAVELODGE has revamped two of its Manchester properties as part of a £200m investment programme.
The Manchester Central Arena site on Great Ducie Street and Manchester Trafford Park were among the first of 500 hotels from the Travelodge estate to benefit from the refurbishment, which includes a new room design and a luxury bed.
Travelodge Manchester Central Arena, a 200-room hotel which was opened in 2011, was refurbished in just over a month at a cost of £150,000 without any disturbance to day-to-day operations.
The 55-room hotel at Manchester Trafford Park took just two weeks to complete and means the Trafford Way hotel is one of the very first to feature the brand new room throughout the hotel.
Mark Williams, Manchester Central Arena Travelodge manager, said: “The demand for good quality branded budget accommodation in Manchester is growing at great pace and now that we have a new room design we are offering even greater value in the local marketplace.”
By the end of the year, Travelodge plans to have refitted more than 50% of all its rooms, with 5,000 completed by the end of May alone. By autumn 2014, almost 90% of Travelodge’s estate will incorporate the new room design.
