Independent review finds Travelodge failed sexual assault victim 'at every stage'
An independent review led by barrister Paul Greaney KC, published on 1 October 2026, found that Travelodge "fundamentally failed" a woman who was sexually assaulted at its Maidenhead hotel in December 2022 by a man who obtained her room key by falsely claiming to be her boyfriend. The review concluded the chain's security policies at the time were "not fit for the purpose of keeping guests safe", that room intrusions were still being reported at nearly one in 10 Travelodge hotels in summer 2026, and that no policy on violence against women and girls was in place; it made 38 recommendations including requiring ID for room keys. The review credited Travelodge with changes made since March, and interim chief executive Ray Reidy apologised unreservedly, saying significant progress had been made over the past six months with further to go.
