Other locations include Cambridge Orchard Park, Aldershot, Birmingham Carrs Lane, Halesowen Earls Way, Warrington Gemini Park, Tamworth, Portishead Harbour Road, Market Harborough and Huddersfield Leeds Road. "During the recession we have taken the opportunity to grow where many have put their development on hold,” said Travelodge Managing Director for Development Paul Harvey. “In 2009 we secured more hotels than any other year in our history and have been able to attain superior sites due to lower property prices”. Over the last five years the budget chain has focused on city-centre growth to extend its image past roadside locations. Motorway and trunk route sites represent a quarter of its hotel stock and another quarter is in suburban, seaside and tourist locations.
