A NATIONAL chain will invest £315,000 on refurbishing its hotel in Haydock.

Travelodge says work at the 62-room hotel at Piele Road will bring a fresh, modern design to a venue that opened in 1989.

It includes a new room design which has been created by Travelodge customers.

The hotel is near to Haydock Park racecourse, which attracts tens of thousands of visitors each year for race meetings, business conferences and music concerts.
