Planning permission has been approved for a new budget hotel in Caernarfon in Gwynedd, north-west Wales, with around 45 local jobs in the offing, according to a source.

The 59-bedroom Travelodge will be created at Victoria Dock, which is described as a "prime waterside location" by the Daily Post.

As well as the new hotel making up part of a £27 million development of the area, a restaurant, pub and craft shop will also be created, together with flats, offices and a doctor's surgery.

Caerfarnon's new hotel forms part of the current £69.9 million Travelodge expansion, which will see around seven branches spring up across the country.

Paul Harvey, property director for the organisation, said: "As price and location continue to drive consumer behavior we are seeing customers shift to budget hotel accommodation … [the new development will] make hotels available to more people than ever before."

Travelodge employs around 5,000 staff and attributes the success of its business to its people, therefore seeks "high calibre individuals" during recruitment.
