Budget hotel chain Travelodge said it will be offering its customers free Wi-Fi in its Bar Cafes across the whole of the UK from next month.
The service will be rolled out from today and will be implemented nationwide by September 12th, the firm announced.
The firm announced that it found travellers demanding internet access these days and felt that paying extortionate rates for hot spots was a real turn off.
According to Guy Parsons, Travelodge Chief Executive: “Our customer research has highlighted that in today’s modern world travellers want internet connectivity whilst on the move, so that they can work and cyber-socialise around the clock
“With the popularity of smartphones reaching an all time high, mobile Internet access is becoming more of a necessity in every day life.”
Travelodge has 478 hotels across the UK, is opening a further 20 this year and is building 43 new ones, boosting its claim to be Britain’s fastest-rowing hotel chain.
