Travelodge are in serious financial trouble.  Book at your peril!!!  Perhaps Premier Inn is better?  Lenny Henry seems to think so!

They have two in Kensington charging

The Covent Garden Travelodge had just had a lot refurbishment and it was fine.   If you pay by credit card, you are pretty safe if they did go under.

I believe you will be charged on your creditcard immediately after booking, I don't think the creditcardcompanies will cover/insurance/pay back this costs when Travelodge go under???

There are other Travelodges - I believe Dusty has stayed at one closer to the RAH.  I'm sure he can tell you more.   You can catch a bus, of course, but that's more expense!  We travel free though!

i was in a travel lodge close to Kings cross, at the RAH in a whiffy.
and payed different prices for every night the week i stayed there, varying from 19 to 89 pounds. still cheap for center london

But losing our money from pre-booking when travelodge goes down is not a real good option.
  We have to be careful, because I don't think our creditcardcompanies will pay this in case of, Travelodge takes the money directly from the creditcard.
