This has got me fuming!
Why the hell do they f
king change their price's for the same place week to week. And why the hell do their prices vary for different places?
I have a limited ££ to spend each night with my expenses at work. I've stayed at the same Travelogde the last two weeks, week 1 it was £39 a night.. fine enough no problem. Week 2 it was £41 a night up to Thursday night, when it shot up to £51.... WHY the f
k!!? You f
king morons why the hell do you need to change the price from one night to the next!! frigging inbred cousin shagging t
ts!.
Now I go to book the same place for the coming week... and now its £50 a night all week!!
Its not as if its more busy, week 1 was the busiest week, this week seemed quiet...
This may seem trivial to some people, but with only £50 a night to get a room and a meal. This leaves me spending my own cash... and don't get me started on the WIFI fee's and no channel 5 (Cant get signal on my 3G dongle in the b
d hotel).

It's because the cheaper prices are promotional ones, their standard rate is around 60 a night. Maybe you should direct you anger at your firm, becuase the allowance is measly for food and accomodation.
Travelodge in my experience provide keenly priced, clean and no frills accomodation. The staff are nice enough and you don't get any luxuries but it serves its purpose.

I usually get them at £19. Shop around and book in advance. (or buy a caravan and drag it behind you)Why the hell do they f

Travelodges are my personal hate. I rate Days hotel miles better, i always get a good price from them. The last time i went, they gave me 50% off! Why the hell do they f

The wifi is managed by a company called Spectrum interactive, who i used to work for in HO. The wifi aspects were fairly decent back then, not sure about now. as their workforce is still quite small from what i understand (HO anyway). The servers are maintained in-house and the first call support team are known to just send cases through to HO. They also are the same company who manage the wifi's in travel-inns as well and also all the wired internet kiosks in all major airports across the UK.
Have you thought about writing professionally about your personal torture? This could be worse than the suffering endured during the Holocaust. Maybe this could be the New New Testament in the Bible and you could be the new Jesus, as you have suffered so much?
Or alternatively, you could stop whinging like a little girl?

£50/night is FAR too low an allowance, Travelodge is probably the cheapest accommodation other than hostels, so you need to tell your company to give you more.
Having never had an expense account, I have no idea what it should be, but £50 isn't even close to enough for room & food. Maybe ask your employer for a list of their approved Youth Hostels and railway bridges?AA do a good B&B book.
And there are loads of sites on the internet
Travelsploge and Travel Inn fit the market of clean no frills get some kip rooms. All the ones I have been in have had clean sheets and towels and tidy.
At the end of the day your only sleeping there, not having a function.
