Travelodge, the UK’s No.1 low-cost hotel chain, is offering a free night stay at its central London locations which include Covent Garden, Liverpool Street, Park Royal, King’s Cross, Islington and Farringdon. The offer will start from 12.01am Saturday 14th August 2004 and run until 10th September 2004. Room rate is £45 for one night and the following night is free - for a family of four it’s fantastic value at £5.65 each per night.

Bookings can only be made online at: travelodge.co.uk/freenight, must be pre-paid and made at least one full day in advance of stay. All stays must be taken by 12th September 2004.

Shakila Ahmed, spokeswoman for Travelodge, said: “The two for one offer provides an ideal opportunity to make the most of what is left of the summer holidays. So many people are put off visiting London due to the extortionate prices for central locations. Our £45 room rate is incredible value, and with a free night stay it gives you extra spending money and additional time to enjoy the vast attractions London has to offer. We expect rooms to sell very quickly, so it’s best to make your booking as soon as possible”.

All Travelodge bedrooms offer a comfortable setting with a king size bed, en-suite bathroom, colour TV and free tea and coffee making facilities. There is a choice of bedrooms – double, disabled and family, with the latter catering for 2 adults and 2 children under the age of 16. Either a continental or full English breakfast is available at all central London Travelodges.
