Spotnana, a travel platform, announced a direct integration with Travelodge, one of the UK’s largest budget hotel chains. This partnership gives Spotnana’s TMC partners access to Travelodge’s more than 600 hotels across the UK and Ireland, including enhanced rates, richer content, ancillaries and streamlined payment options, according to the announcement.
Travelodge’s portfolio includes more than 47,000 rooms across key business travel destinations in the UK and Ireland. Through Spotnana’s direct integration, said the announcement, TMC partners can now offer their corporate clients access to Travelodge’s nonrefundable, non-transferable Saver rates, which offer even more competitive prices, alongside its fully refundable and Flex rates.
The integration, said the announcement, also provides self-service booking changes, detailed property imagery, comprehensive hotel descriptions including parking and amenity information and weekly content updates, representing a significant improvement over the static, limited content typically available through indirect channels.
The direct connection, said the announcement, streamlines the booking and servicing experience with prepaid reservations that include instant invoicing, eliminating the friction of pay-on-arrival processes that require higher-touch servicing. Travelers receive invoices directly to their email address from their profile and can also purchase add-ons like early check-in, late check-out, WiFi and breakfast during the booking process.
Nick Jacobs, sales director at Travelodge, said, “Partnering with Spotnana allows us to bring Travelodge to even more business travelers through their network of TMCs, all while keeping the booking experience straightforward.” As one of Travelodge’s first integrations, he said, “this partnership showcases our full range of rooms, backed by the streamlined payment and invoicing that modern business travel demands.”
Bill Brindle, executive vice president of content and distribution at Spotnana, said: “Budget-conscious business travelers in the UK and Europe have long needed better access to quality affordable accommodations. This partnership delivers not just inventory access, but a fundamentally better booking experience with enhanced rates, richer content and seamless servicing.”
