BRIGHTON is known as an eccentric city. But some tourists have taken weird to the next level with their bizarre requests at hotels.

Travelodge has released some of the most unusual things its staff have been asked to provide.

The company, which has two hotels in Brighton, recently surveyed its nationwide chains and found some of the strangest requests their guests have made over the past year.

“Can you fill my bath with different flavoured scoops of ice cream as a birthday present for my wife’s 40th birthday?” one guest asked bemused staff at the West Street branch.

Another punter seemed to think the staff at the West Street hotel could control the birds in the sky.

He asked: “Can you stop the seagulls from squawking this afternoon? I would like to have a nap.”

Equally bizarre requests came from guests at the company’s Preston Road hotel, including:

n “Can you let me know how many stars are in the sky this evening?”

n “Are you able to act as my chauffeur today? I want to impress my clients.”

n “Will you teach me to dance? I am nervous before my first wedding dance.”

And it is not just in Brighton where guests have strange ideas about what hotel staff can provide.

Other odd requests from around the country included:

n Are you able to fly in some Beluga Caviar from Russia for dinner this evening? (London City)

n Can you hold my place in the queue to Harry and Meghan’s wedding whilst I go to sleep tonight? (Windsor Castle)

n Can you make a cat bunk bed ahead of my stay for my two Bengal kittens Simba and Nala? (Bristol Central)

n I can’t remember if I turned my house alarm on, can you drive to my house in Sandbanks and check? (St Austell)

n Can you fill my room with 100 pink heart shaped balloons for my Grandmother’s 100th birthday which say ‘Happy Birthday Grandma Gladysis’? (Newmarket Road)

n Can you please get four of your team members to dress up as the Beatles to perform at my friend’s wedding tonight as the band has cancelled? (Liverpool Central)

n Can you arrange for the dolphins to be dancing at 9:00pm – the same time that I will be proposing to my girlfriend? (Torquay)

n Can I have a duvet to ‘tuck my Ferrari in’ outside? It doesn’t like the cold (York Layerthorpe)

n Can you rename floor four ahead of my stay as it is unlucky in my culture and put eight gold dragons in my room for good luck? (Bicester)

Shakila Ahmed, Travelodge spokeswoman said: “With 19 million customers staying annually in our 553 UK Travelodge hotels across the length and breadth of the UK, our hotel teams receive thousands of unusual requests from business and leisure travellers.

“Where possible, the teams will go above and beyond to help customers. They do like a good challenge.

“However there are some requests that they cannot help with, such as: arranging dancing dolphins at Lands End, for it to snow and to ensure all traffic lights are green for a business executive so that he gets to his meeting on time.”
