WASHINGTON, D.C. — A new independent review found that Travelodge hotels across the United States failed a sexual assault victim at every stage of reporting, with room intrusions still reported at roughly one in ten properties this summer.

The 12‑month audit, commissioned by a coalition of consumer groups, documented 127 reported intrusions across 85 of Travelodge’s 860 U.S. locations. It noted that victims encountered delayed police notification, insufficient staff training and a lack of transparent follow‑up, prompting calls for a systematic overhaul of safety protocols.
