      I’m genuinely surprised that „explicit permission“ wasn’t already the policy.

      The article said that previously just knowing the name of the occupant was sufficient to pass security checks.

      „Travelodge initially offered the victim a £30 refund, which she described as „insulting“, before the company issued an apology.“

      Wtf

      Travelodge seem pretty stupid. Offering someone £30 in compensation over something that has the potential to decimate your business? All it would take is for women to refuse to use Travelodge and their goose is cooked. So I’m guessing this isn’t the first time something like this has happened, but it is the first time someone has spoken up.

      „So, listen up everybody, here’s the new policy: We DON’T give attackers keys to people’s rooms. You might think we should have made this the policy from the start but we … well … we didn’t.“

      I wish I was exaggerating.

      Firstly, why was their policy like that in the first place? It makes no sense and shouldn’t have been signed off. Secondly, why did they think that offering her £30 was good enough? Obviously they know she can’t sue them because theres no direct financial loss (although she’s probably able to get some compensation as a victim of crime), but that’s taking the piss.

      A friend of mine recently had a similar issue. She’d booked a hotel under her own name, someone she knew at a party followed her back, gave security her name and they walked them to the door.

      Then when she opened the door (at 4am) left them to it.

      Women are not safe.

      This is not just a Travelodge problem – it is endemic.

      My biggest bugbear is seeing receptionists smile and announce to the queue what your room number is when they hand you the card.

      Stayed in a Travelodge style hotel in Tallinn. They have a great setup when you check in all automated.

      Prepaid room and on the day of arrival you get a unique 6 digit code text to your phone. That number controls check in and check out, and if you want additional room keys, you need to provide the code before one is printed
