Where Can I Find the Best Manchester Tart? Do You Have a Doggie Creche? Can You Get Me a Real Stag for the Night? Do You Offer a Sleep Sitting Service?
These Are Just Some of the Bizarre Requests Travelodge Staff Have Been Asked by Customers
(firmenpresse) - LONDON, ENGLAND -- (Marketwired) -- 10/16/13 -- Travelodge, the UK's first budget hotel chain, has today revealed the most bizarre requests that some of its 16.5 million customers have asked whilst staying in one of the Company's 513 hotels during the last 12 months.
On average, Travelodge hotel staff members receive around 200,000 strange requests during the year, which translates as roughly one request per hotel every day, and the oddities include everything from: How do I cross Spaghetti Junction to get to the Balti Triangle? Can you get me a real stag for my friend's stag night? and Do you offer a sleep sitting service, so that someone can watch over me as I tend to sleep walk?
Interestingly, this year's list of revelations has revealed the continuing trend for Britons wanting to travel with their pets - despite how strange their travelling companion may be.
A couple visiting the Gloucestershire area rang the Gloucester Travelodge hotel in advance of their stay and asked if their pet hen Gladys could stay with them - as they will only eat fresh eggs (for breakfast) laid by her and for that reason she always travels with them.
One customer who was staying at Birmingham Airport Travelodge asked the reception team if they could find a local hairdresser who could come out to style her Afghan hound (Betsy's) hair.
A guest at Perth Travelodge asked if the hotel's pet policy included a pair of Llamas.
Other strange customer requests have included one guest staying at Chelmsford Travelodge hotel asking the housekeeper if she could arrange for her bath to be filled with fresh milk - so that she could bath in it, like Cleopatra.
At Birmingham Bullring Travelodge hotel, the reception team received a call late one evening from a business customer asking if it was possible for someone to go into his room and lay in his bed in order to warm it up for him.
The hotel manager at Oxford Peartree Travelodge was put on the spot when he was asked by a male customer if he could borrow his wedding ring as his best man has lost his rings and he was getting married within the hour.
Listed below are Travelodge's top 30 most bizarre requests for 2013
Shakila Ahmed, Travelodge Spokeswoman said: "Annually our hotel teams receive around 200,000 bizarre requests. Our staff will always try their utmost to accommodate all customer requests but occasionally there are just some requests that we just can't help with, such as stopping it snowing and finding a stag."
Notes to editors:
The Travelodge survey of bizarre requests was conducted in October 2013 with the Company's 513 hotel managers.
