Paul Harvey, Travelodge managing director for property said: "Building a Travelodge hotel in a shopping centre is a win-win solution.

"It helps shopping centre owners to add value, generate additional income and increase football by developing underused assets such as: empty office space, the top of low rise buildings and car parks.

"Our customers benefit by being located in a desired quality location with a host of shops and restaurants on their door step."
