They are Travelodge hotels at Five Oaks, Billingshurst; Crawley and East Grinstead.

During lockdown, Travelodge kept 62 hotels open across the UK from Plymouth to Aberdeen to support key/critical workers, vulnerable groups and local authorities.

Travelodge spokeswoman Shakila Ahmed said: “The hotels are open for business from this week and the team are set for a busy summer season as we welcome customers back.

“With safety at the forefront of our business, we have worked closely with our hotel teams that stayed open during the lockdown, government and industry bodies to develop our new Covid-19 safety programme called TravelodgeProtect+.
