  "summary": "An independent review into Travelodge hotels following a sexual assault case has revealed that guests continue to face risks, with room intrusions reported at nearly one in ten of the hotel chain's locations this summer. The 70-page report, commissioned in the wake of a man's conviction for a serious sexual assault against a Travelodge guest in Maidenhead in 2022, outlines several recommendations to improve safety. These include creating a new policy to address violence against women and girls, enhancing safety protocols for staff working alone, equipping reception staff with body cameras, installing uniform CCTV systems across all hotels, and employing mystery shoppers to test key security policies.",
