Budget hotel chain interested in Stamford

Travelodge have revealed they are looking at opening a hotel in Stamford.

The budget hotel chain want to continue their expansion in Lincolnshire by tapping into the tourist market as part of a £13 million investment into the county and creating 60 jobs across the proposed hotels in Stamford, Boston and Skegness.

Nigel Mackenzie, Travelodge UK operations director, said: "We are delighted to be celebrating 30 years of trading in the region with a hat trick of growth and investment announcements.

"This includes opening our Lincolnshire flagship hotel in the heart of Lincoln, together with Gainsborough’s first branded budget hotel, as well as announcing further growth in the county.

“Over the last three decades, Travelodge has become famous across the county for offering unbeatable value which has helped attract more business and leisure travellers to the area.

"Looking forward, the Lincolnshire economy is growing at pace with increasing visitor numbers to the area.

"However there is still a shortage of good quality accommodation at a great value price.

"Therefore to meet this growing consumer demand we are looking for new hotel sites in the following tourist hotspot locations: Boston, Skegness and Stamford.

"Collectively this expansion programme would represent an investment of £13 million for third party investors and create 60 new jobs.”
