Travelodge offers users specialised search tool

Travelodge has launched a new search tool on its website allowing customers to identify all available low-cost rooms at a glance.

The new search service will allow customers to find all Travelodge hotels that have the low-cost rate of £46 within central London and £26 elsewhere.

If a preferred hotel is not available at the low-rate at the desired time, the search engine offers up to 20 nearest hotel options at the same rate.

Sales and marketing director Guy Parsons said the specialised search facility was the first in the industry, placing Travelodge at the forefront of their sector online.

"In order to deliver the best service to our customers we have launched the first bargain hunter search tool. It is a simple formula, the further they book in advance, the cheaper the rate."

To celebrate the launch Travelodge have released a further 50,000 rooms within the UK at the low-cost rates until August.
