"Hundreds of residents of the budget hotel chain Travelodge, including homeless families housed there by local councils, have been turned out on to the street after it closed its premises." theguardian.com/world/2020/mar…
Now, I don't think this is a smart move by Travelodge *at all*.
But I can also see how it may be trapped by two conflicting pieces of advice:
- stop taking hotel bookings
- stay open for residents & key workers
If the latter are (say) 5% of customers, how can Tlodge pay bills?

It would be like saying to a store: "You must stay open, but only sell to left-handed customers with blue eyes. You must not serve anyone else." No way could they hope to survive in business with that stricture.
The conflicting situation was created by Government.
