In 1935, businessman Scott King recognized the need for homelike accommodations for weary travelers and established his first motor court in San Diego. The Travelodge® name was introduced in 1939 and the company was incorporated in 1946.

Today the Travelodge brand is well known internationally. Located throughout North America in business, resort and leisure areas, Travelodge's over 500 properties provide guests with accommodations in the places they travel to most. Properties can be found offering anywhere from 25 to 400 or more rooms.

Guests will find clean rooms, friendly staff and one of the industry's most rewarding frequent guest programs – TripRewards®. When guests join TripRewards, they can earn points or miles at more hotels than with any other hotel rewards program. They can also earn points by shopping online or in person with select TripRewards partners, making it fast and easy to build earnings toward the rewards they want.

Travelodge is also well known by its family-friendly mascot, Sleepy Bear®. Fashioned in 1954, Sleepy Bear recently underwent a makeover. With his newly found “mojo”, Sleepy Bear embodies the Travelodge brand’s fun, whimsical nature.
