This past year Travelodge has seen a treasure trove of weird and wonderful items left behind by guests. Where else would you find a gallon of water from Loch Ness, a Persian Chinchilla cat named Angel, and a Tiffany engagement ring but in the UK’s first budget hotel brand.<\/h3>\n

With nearly 19 million guests staying at 571 Travelodges across the country in 2019, it’s no wonder our lost and found boxes are stuffed full of bizarre and unexpected things. Like the time two alpacas named Ant and Dec were left behind at Travelodge Stratford Upon Avon. This year we’ve seen a lot more wedding related items being left behind in rooms up and down the country. A 5ft tall unicorn made of flowers was left behind by a bridal party at Travelodge Leamington Spa, whilst an enormous, glitter covered silver moon – the backdrop for wedding photos from the previous day – was found tucked up in bed at Travelodge Liverpool John Lennon Airport.<\/p>\n

One man left his Tiffany engagement ring behind at Travelodge London City, stashed in the pillow case. Having travelled all the way to London from the Hebrides in order to purchase the ring for his bride to be, it was very fortunate that the groom’s ring was found by housekeeping soon after he’d checked out. The Hotel Manager speedily (but within legal limits, of course) rushed down to Heathrow Airport to reunite the much relieved guest with his ring.<\/p>\n

As well as some unusual items being forgotten, a Best Man who’d overslept was left behind by the wedding party at Travelodge Torquay. With under an hour to go before the wedding, the Hotel Manager was hard pushed to arrange a sea tractor to transport the abandoned Best Man to nearby Burgh Island for his brother’s wedding. Fortunately, he made it in the nick of time.<\/p>\n

Have a look below at the weirdest things guests have left behind in Travelodge hotels this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
