"Our room and hotel transformation continues at pace – we will have refitted approximately 25 per cent of the room estate by the end of this year, with plans to accelerate this investment to upgrade approximately 50 per cent of the room estate by the end of 2024.
"We also launched our multi-million-pound “Better get a Travelodge” advertising campaign in September.”
"We are encouraged to see the positive trading patterns continuing into Q4 (the fourth quarter) as we benefit from staycations, event bookings and continued demand from customers seeking value for money. Travelodge's affordable proposition, together with our well-invested and diversified hotel network, positions us well to deliver long-term growth.”
