Spalding Travelodge first hotel in Lincolnshire upgraded in time for summer staycation

A Spalding hotel’s radical transformation will make it the first in Lincolnshire to be upgraded in time for the summer staycation season.

Featuring a new-look reception and multi-generational dimension room, the Travelodge Spalding, located at Springfields Outlet Shopping and Leisure, is part of a multi-million pound investment.

The upgrade includes carpet made from recycled fishing nets and plastic bottles, low energy lighting with motion sensing controls and aerated showers and taps in the en-suite bathrooms.

Laura Griffiths, manager said: “We are delighted that our hotel has received its Budget-Luxe upgrade in time for our busy staycation trading period.

"This upgrade is our most radical transformation to date and is a complete overhaul of our existing design.

“It certainly has the wow factor and will be a lovely surprise for our customers who are staying and holidaying in the surrounding area this summer.”

“Our new budget-luxe design has been created in response to ever increasing expectations from customers.

“Britain is now a nation of budget travellers, with more of us choosing to stay in budget hotels than any other hotel type and thoughtful, stylish design and homely touches really matter in today’s world when staying away for business or leisure.”

The 43-room hotel has been selected as one of the company’s 55 hotels to be upgraded this year to the new premium look and feel Budget-Luxe design.

The upgrade includes a new look reception and a complete renovation to the rooms, bathrooms and public areas while maintaining great value for money.

As this hotel is located in a key staycation destination, Travelodge has worked around the clock to ensure Spalding Travelodge received its upgrade in time for the busy summer staycation season..

This year, staycationers are splashing out on average £1,011 for their holiday and will collectively spend £20 billion holidaying at home which is great news for the Lincolnshire economy.

The new Travelodge Budget-Luxe design has been created on the success of the group’s budget chic hotel format, TravelodgePLUS.

Key findings revealed that modern travellers crave style, choice and little homely touches to make it easier to work, rest and relax both inside and outside of the room.

The introduction of a new signature rich navy blue brand colour, chosen for its calming and uplifting qualities offers the key essentials that matter to modern business and leisure travellers.

During the last few months, the Travelodge Budget-Luxe Hotel Upgrade Team has been working around the clock to refit Spalding Travelodge to the new budget-luxe design in time for summer trading.

Travelodge also worked with the famous psychologist, Corrine Sweet on its new design who said: “Recent psychological research shows people’s tastes are changing and incorporating homely touches into décor and design are becoming essential to create a calming environment for wellbeing.

“The new Travelodge budget-luxe design fits the bill as the premium look and feel is a good mixture of high functionality, comfort and calmness which helps guests feel psychologically refreshed.”

Situated in the heart of the Bar Café is a stylish statement bar which offers a selection of wines, popular spirits and a range of ales.
