The only catch is you have to be a couple called Mary & Joseph, or anyone called Jesus. Free parking is also provided - presumably for the donkey. No mention of visitor parking for the 3 wise men though. tinyurl.com/8yrud3e - links to www.bighospitality.co.uk Reply to this message | Report message

And you get sachets of tea, coffee and UHT milk rather than Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh Reply to this message | Report message

I wonder what they'd offer if Joseph and a heavily pregnant Mary checked in on the 24th using this offer, and gave birth in the room to a baby that they called Jesus! Free Travelodge rooms for life perhaps?? :-) Reply to this message | Report message

Dont go to the Brighton one tho, you get three Queens knocking on your door. Reply to this message | Report message       6

Stayed at the Brighton one, no issues with queens but I did have a problem with the chav club next door keeping me awake all night (on a Tuesday!). Still at £20 a night it was a cheap base for exploring the West Sussex area. I had neighbours called Mary and Joe, Mary died in the late 90's and Joe died in 2005 aged 94 so even if they were living I think they would be too old to take up this offer.

In Scotland, they'll throw in a free Advent calendar. www.flickr.com/photos/brownieboy27/5223651350/ Reply to this message | Report message

There are some Travelodges I wouldn't stop in if they paid me. Newcastle, for example. Reply to this message | Report message

I was friends with a receptionist at one - she had some cracking stories, day shifts were the best ! Reply to this message | Report message

But Mary and Joseph didn't stay in the Inn, because there was no room - they were put up in the garage. To comply with equality laws "Mary" and "Joseph" can be either sex. Reply to this message | Report message

...Is that the one with steel grills on the windows? Been there... Guests treat the place as an extension of the nearby Bigg Market drinking circuit. Fine if you are also in Newcastle on the lash, but no good if you want a night's sleep. Reply to this message | Report message

I stayed in a hotel in Washington that armed guards on the door. Reply to this message | Report message

...I stayed in a hotel in Washington that armed guards on the door... Seems a bit over the top. I'd have just refused your booking. Reply to this message | Report message       1

I would say the worst Travelodge I have stayed is Plymouth. That was so rough it shocked me even as a hardened manc. I saw some bloke bean dragged out of the car and beaten up right outside the hotel. Left the hotel a day early and travelled onto a what I thought would be a quite little town called NewQuay how wrong I was!. Still it was a friendly sort of rowdy.

They tried to charge me an extra £20/night if I wanted to bring the dog in. Extra cleaning they said. So I put him in a holdall and saved the money. The room was filthy, so I thought about charging them an extra £20 to clean the dog afterwards. Reply to this message | Report message
