Travelodge failed sex assault victim 'at every stage'
Image caption: The review found Travelodge guests were still not as safe as they should be
Published 7 minutes ago
A woman who was sexually assaulted by a man given a key to her hotel room was "fundamentally failed" by Travelodge "at every stage", an independent review has found.
Barrister Paul Greaney KC said the chain's security policies at the time of the attack at its Maidenhead hotel in December 2022 were "not fit for the purpose of keeping guests safe". He found guests were still not as safe as they should be, with room intrusions reported at nearly one in 10 Travelodge hotels this summer, and no policy in place on violence against women and girls.
Travelodge apologised "unreservedly" to the woman. The review did credit the company with making changes since March.
