Travelodge has also gained its first hotels in High Wycombe, London Ealing, Newcastle-under-Lyme and Wadebridge.
Travelodge's Managing Director for Development, Paul Harvey said: "With 60 exchanges announced in 2009, we have now signed more hotels this year than ever before.

With this selection of hotels, we have managed to enter new towns for the first time and also build on our strength in the major cities.
"We are now the biggest hotel brand in Edinburgh having doubled our room stock in the city in the last 24 months and now operate eight sites in Manchester."
