Jo Boydell is leaving Travelodge after 13 years as the hotel chain faces scrutiny over two separate incidents in which women were attacked after men gained access to their rooms.

A domestic violence survivor has recounted how she was assaulted in her hotel room after Travelodge reception staff handed a key to her attacker. The woman, referred to as Lucy, described the incident as one of the 'most traumatic nights of my life' following an attack by her abuser who gained entry through a security lapse. Lucy had stayed at the London-based hotel in October 2025 seeking respite from domestic abuse. She claimed the attacker falsely reported his girlfriend's medical emergency to staff, who then provided him with her room details and key. After being physically assaulted and forced out of the room, she sought help but was only offered another room. Travelodge acknowledged the breach, stating their policy against confirming guest details was not followed. This incident is part of a pattern, with other victims like Jo from Leeds and Andy Smith reporting similar security failures. The hotel chain has since updated its room access policies and conducted staff training. Industry groups have expressed concern over guest safety, urging improved security measures.
