Discounts for Travelodge wanted

Hi, not sure if this is the right place to put this if it isn't can someone kindly put it where it should be.

We have to go up to Glasgow for about a week from Bank Holiday Monday as both sets of DH's Grandparents are extremely ill. Can any one of you kind people point me in the direction of discounts for Travelodge's or anything similar.

Many thanks
Namaste DeeDee x

    Hi deedee,

    Might not be useful this time, but...

    I signed up to Travelodge's e-newsletter & every couple of months they send you advanced warning of their special offers, so you can book before everyone else. They quite often do a £10 per night offer but I think you have to go via the link in the newsletter. I've got a few bargains from them this way!

    Hope it helps.

    Cheers B, I will go and do that as we have to go back up that way in August and we also have to go across to Essex next month to bury my Granddad's ashes (It's not been a good time with grandparents recently!)

    The hotels/motels in the city centre are dearer and also a nightmare for parking ..

    good luck

    If you book the travelode at least 2 weeks in advance, you can normally get them for £26 per room (any size) via the website.

    ive tried the glasgow ones . days weeks months in advance and never get a deal on them.. mind you find that with most city centre travelodges.. and its not often you can get the deals for 3 or 4 or more days..
