The Travelodge
Story:
| In 1938, businessman Scott King recognized
the need for homelike accommodations for weary
travelers and our first motor court was
established in San Diego. The Travelodge name
was introduced in 1939 and in 1946 the company was
incorporated.
We
cater to our guests by continually offering
services and resources that make their travel stress
free. We support an employee recognition program
so that we may encourage and "reinforce" above
and beyond the call of duty service from staff
members.
Travelodge has also become well known by our
family - friendly mascot, Sleepy Bear.
Fashioned in 1954, Sleepy Bear serves as our
Ambassador to Children and can be seen attending
community and charity events serving several of our
interests:
- The
Ronald McDonald House Charities
- "Child
Safety Tips" broadcast via Sleepy Bear
public service announcements on TV.
- Creating
our special kid's rooms, the Sleepy Bear Den!

Our Charitable
Interests:
|
Travelodge
and Ronald McDonald House Charities joined
forces in 1998 to implement a cause marketing
program designed to provide needed items to Ronald
McDonald Houses, raise funds and awareness for RMHC
endeavors, as well as bring smiles to families
staying at Ronald McDonald Houses.
The
cornerstone of the program is the donation and
installation of Sleepy Bear's Den rooms in Ronald
McDonald Houses. To date, the program has
provided for the placement of Sleepy Bear's Den
rooms in nearly 15 Ronald McDonald Houses throughout
North America. Travelodge is committed to making a
difference in the lives of the children and their
families that use the services of RMHC and MRCC.
