Plenty of room at the inn
Travelodge has reportedly got into the Christmas spirit in plenty of time this year by announcing a special deal for suitably-named guests over the Christmas period.
According to the online news provider Ananova, the Covent Garden Travelodge in London is offering a free night’s stay to couples named Mary and Joseph – as long as they can prove it.
The hotel group reportedly says it is trying to “make up for the hotel industry not having any rooms left om Christmas Eve, all those years ago”.
Manager Sandy Leckie is quoted as saying: “We are more than happy to welcome any Mary and Joseph couples into our hotel; it’s definitely more comfortable than a stable. I just hope they don’t bring their donkey.”
Couples must be able to prove their identity to take advantage of the deal.
