Travelodge Boss Quits After Hotel Safety Failures

Travelodge's boss, Joanna Boydell, quit August 17 after staff gave room keys to men without checking who they were or asking the guest first. A woman escaping an abuser was assaulted in October 2025, and a 2022 sexual assault happened the same way. Former PM Keir Starmer had urged Travelodge to "seriously engage with MPs" on women's safety.
