Budget hotel chain Travelodge is keeping one of its Nottingham sites open to provide accommodation to critical workers and vulnerable groups through the pandemic.
The hotel chain is currently operating just under 50 hotels across the UK to support frontline workers and people who need support.
This includes 20 Travelodge hotels close to major hospitals, including the new Nightingale hospital in London, to support NHS workers.
The company is supporting around 30 local authorities across the country by providing accommodation for the less vulnerable.
Travelodge is operating its Nottingham Riverside Travelodge hotel at Riverside Retail Park, Tottle Road, Queens Drive, as part of its initiative to provide accommodation for frontline workers.
A spokeswoman for Travelodge, said: "In these unprecedented times, our hotel teams across the UK are working enormously hard, under great pressure, to support the national efforts.
"We have hotels open from Aberdeen to Plymouth including our Nottingham Riverside hotel, providing accommodation for critical workers and other groups.
“We are reviewing daily which hotels are best positioned to support the needs that arise with the government while ensuring we comply with the restrictions in place to protect the public.”
Travelodge, in common with all UK hotel operators has been obliged to temporarily close the majority of its hotels and is currently operating just under 50 hotels in critical locations to support critical workers and local authorities in the fight against Covid-19.
