A NEW Travelodge has opened its doors in Bromsgrove.
The 43-room hotel, which is in the building which formerly operated as the Ibis, opened yesterday and has brought a number of jobs to the local area.
The discount hotel chain was attracted to the venue as it is close to Bromsgrove Railway Station and because the town has the M5 and M42 motorways not too far away.
The hotel has been revamped to give it its new Travelodge premium look and feel design and among the areas redeveloped from the previous occupier have been a newly-designed reception and rooms – offering everything a person needs for a comfortable and relaxing stay.
The hotel was acquired as part of Travelodge’s UK development strategy to expand through rebrand acquisitions of existing hotels that meet its locational and branding criteria.
Travelodge continues to grow rapidly and has reiterated its strong commitment to expanding its hotel network to give customers more choice while supporting local communities through nationwide job creation. The company already operates 22 hotels across Birmingham.
Steve Bennett, Travelodge’s chief property and development officer, said: “We’re thrilled to officially open our new Bromsgrove hotel.
“It’s a fantastic spot for both business and leisure travellers and we’re excited to welcome guests to the newest addition to our growing UK portfolio.”
Travelodge now has 600 hotels across the country and it is aiming to add 300 more locations, including 20 in the Midlands. The company said the aim was to create new jobs and offer even more choice and great value for our customers visiting the area and beyond.
