£15 Travelodge Xmas Sale

What's the deal?
Budget hotel chain Travelodge is offering a large number of Supersaver rooms in all its hotels at £15 per room over Christmas. Usually these rooms retail up to £80 but this is reportedly part of a price war it is having with Premier, so take advantage.
Travelodge rooms are clean and functional, and do the job, so they're great if you're looking to tour the UK over the Xmas hols. This is about the eight 'travelodge deal' that MoneySavers have jammed in and there's always extremely good feedback from those who've taken part.
What you need to do
Use Travelodge's room search to find a hotel and date available.
Are there any conditions?
Yes, a few. The offer's only available online, for supersaver rooms, which must be booked at least 21 days in advance of the day you want to stay. Rooms can be booked to stay any date from 17 December to 21 January but you'll need to book by 26 November. You'll have to pay in advance and the room's not transferable or refundable once you've booked so think carefully first whether you really want the room.
Sadly the offer isn't available in the Republic of Ireland, Spain or in its franchises (Newport Magor, Bolton West M61 Southbound and Glasgow Airport).

oohhh worried now - do they do this with their half price rooms?
I have booked a £26 room in April next year but I wont be getting there till about 10 at night.... I fly out a nearby airport very early next morning.
I dont want to get there with my young daughter to find I have no room.2012 wins approx £11,000 including 5k to spend on a holiday :j0 -
They do this with ALL rooms - so get there EARLY! And they are totally unrepentant - their answer to Watchdog was to say they will change their website to make it clear to customers that if you arrive late they will have given your guaranteed room away! Now THAT's what I call good customer serviceoohhh worried now - do they do this with their half price rooms? You don't get medals for sitting in the trenches.0
