UK Travelodge's and Massage Tables

Information required fairly urgently.

I have an examination booked on Wednesday the 17th, in a UK Travelodge.

I've just been advised by another patient that she's read somewhere of a person carrying a portable massage table being refused admission and the patient concerned being asked to leave. It was said to be new company policy.

Now I've never known T'lodge act in this way. I'm sure they know that the rooms are used for all kinds of liasons and choose to ignore it.

Does anyone know the truth or otherwise?

I guess its just your luck depending on which one you use.Some that ive been in wouldnt bat an eye if i dragged in a dead body lol

Ive just checked the terms and conditions for travelodge and dont see a problem with any referance to massage i use them as well for exams if its a female patient i somtimes book them in under my name or if male as a freind they have never quired it before and i take in a portable massage table. just spotted an online question attendant.

Yes, I checked the T & C's too and can see nothing about naughty things except smoking!

If I encounter a problem I will, of course, report.

Thanks for taking the trouble.

Not a prob we all here to help each other oh yes dont smoke in travel lodge ive know people who have paid dear for breaking the rules very expensive

While I cannot answer about the UK Travelodge and massage tables, I have carried my massage table in several hotels and I have never had a problem. Perhaps, it was one desk clerk who let a little power go to their heads.

It seems to me that if you keep the massage table covered with something so it is wrapped up in a tarp or something, it wouldn't raise any flags. Also, bring everything else in first and then bring in the covered table.

Thank you susie and Lady Teddy.

Yes, mine is in a discrete zip up cover, its just not discrete in size, even folded as it is.

It's not happened to me - generally I find the staff aren't interested once you've checked in - it was just flagged up to my patient for Wednesday and she asked me about it.

Anyway - I guess I can say its a flip chart for a presentation I'm rehearsing - though if it wasn't for the patient and not wanting to upset her I'd likely confront whoever stopped me

I am surprised you can find a room in a travel lodge to out an exam table up and still move about ... or perhaps I've just been unlucky with the rooms i stayed in!!
