Hotel Removes Bibles From Rooms To 'Avoid Upsetting Customers'

The hotel says the policy was implemented ‘in order not to discriminate against any religion’

One of Britain’s biggest hotel chains, Travelodge, has removed bibles from its rooms to avoid upsetting customers that are non-Christians.

The decision by the hotel has been condemned by the Church of England stating that it is ‘bizarre and tragic’, adding that Bibles in hotel rooms are important to provide hope, comfort and inspiration to travellers.

The hotel says the policy was implemented ‘in order not to discriminate against any religion’ – despite having had no complaints from guests.

Bibles were taken away at the same time as a refurbishment of its rooms, removing drawers where they were kept.

The Bibles, which were provided free by the Gideon Society, have been retained and are stored behind reception for guests to borrow on request, the company says.

Talking about the decision of the hotel, was it a good or a bad one?
