Travelodge has announced plans to open a new hotel in Glasgow this year.
It will be part of plans for 17 new hotels to be launched by the chain by the end of 2019.
Around £115 million will be invested in the expansion programme and is expected to create more than 350 jobs.
Peter Gowers, Travelodge's chief executive, said: "Despite the uncertainty facing the UK, the long-term prospects for low-cost hotels remain strong.
"The next phase of our expansion plan will see us deliver more choice in more places than ever before.
"We've come a long way from our early days by the side of the motorway and today's Travelodge not only offers the same great value as always, but the extra choice of our new Travelodge Plus and SuperRoom concepts - ideal for those for who want just that little bit more.
"Britain's travellers are changing. We expect more and increasingly we travel to a wider range of places. More and more of us are working away from home during the week, and we're taking more long weekends."
As well as Glasgow, hotels will be opened in Edinburgh Park, Bury St Edmunds, Chippenham, Gosport High Street, Letchworth Garden City, Liverpool Edge Lane, London Dagenham East, London Beckton North Circular, Marlow, Rhyl, Rochester, Sittingbourne, Solihull, Swindon West, Walsall and Winchester.
