Hotel chain Travelodge have revealed some of the most weird and wonderful requests put to them in Scotland over the past 12 months.
“Are Aberdeen the biggest football team in Edinburgh” and “Can I blow up my bouncy castle in your reception” are just two of the beauties to be asked of staff at the budget hotel.
Shakila Ahmed, Travelodge spokeswoman said: “Our annual bizarre requests audit across our 513 UK hotels always shows that some of the more unusual ones come from our 40 hotels in Scotland.
“Our hotel teams will always try their best to accommodate all customer requests but there are some that we just can’t help with – such as providing a room with no birds flying outside.”
