Aylesbury and Buckingham Travelodge hotels reopen

The hotelier say they have invested in 'a multi-million pound Covid-19 safety & social distance programme' called TravelodgeProtect+ which features in all of their Buckinghamshire hotels.

During the lockdown, Travelodge kept 62 hotels open across the UK from Plymouth to Aberdeen to support key / critical workers, vulnerable groups and local authorities.

Shakila Ahmed, Travelodge, Spokeswoman said: “We are delighted to reach the halfway milestone in our hotel reopening programme with the reopening of a further four properties in Buckinghamshire.

"The hotels are open for business from this week and the team are set for a busy summer season as we welcome customers back.

"With safety at the forefront of our business, we have worked closely with our hotel teams that stayed open during the lockdown, government and industry bodies to develop our new Covid-19 safety programme called TravelodgeProtect+.

"This safety programme is designed to keep our customers and teams safe and has been implemented into all Travelodge hotels.”

Travelodge has taken its key learnings whilst operating in the lockdown and launched TravelodgeProtect+ a programme of cleaning and social distancing measures in line with government guidance - designed to keep its customers and teams save and protected post lockdown.

The programme includes:

Cleaning & Hygiene

· Comprehensive cleaning throughout its hotels using an antiviral disinfectant – effective against Coronavirus

· Additional post clean room checks with digital tracking in place to ensure consistently high standards

· Increased cleaning frequency in high touchpoints in public areas and rooms

· All linen and towels thermally disinfected

· Comprehensive training of every hotel team member on cleaning, hygiene and social distancing

· Installation of customer hand sanitiser stations in key locations in the hotel

Social Distancing

· Protective reception screens

· Signage to mark social distance points throughout the hotel including check-in markings

· Monitoring the number of customers in a designated area such as the reception area and lifts

· PPE provided for all hotel team members

· To minimise contact, housekeeping team members will not enter customer’s rooms during their stay

· Contactless payment

· Contactless check-out

In addition to help Britons make the most of 2020, post lockdown, Travelodge has released over one million rooms for £29 or less across its UK hotels.
