Shakila Ahmed, spokeswoman for Travelodge, said: “Following the lifting of all Covid-19 restrictions earlier this year, we have experienced a significant increase in bookings across our 582 UK Travelodge hotels including our hotels in the North East.
"With more Britons holidaying on British shores than ever before our hotel teams have also received a high volume of interesting requests and questions especially around place names, local dishes, customs and traditions across the British regions.
"Where possible, our hotel teams will go above and beyond to help customers as they relish a good challenge.
"However, there are some requests beyond their control such as the hotel team at Newcastle Quayside Travelodge, who were surprised when a customer asked for a children’s paddling pool so that their pet fish could have a spacious bed for the night!”
