In 1985, we reinvented the concept of the low cost overnight stay by launching the UK’s first budget hotel chain. For over 30 years, we’ve been there for our customers in the right place and at the right price enabling them to stay away from home in a comfortable room, whatever their reason for travelling – whether visiting family and friends, arriving on time for a meeting, watching their favourite band or taking the kids to the zoo.
