The most bizarre requests made by guests at Portsmouth's Travelodges

From wanting to bring a pet pony to requesting a picture of ex-Pompey striker Peter Crouch, it is safe to say that there have been a few weird queries. 

And it is not just in Portsmouth, Travelodge have revealed the most bizarre requests from some of the 19.4 million guests who stayed at its 553 hotels around the country. 

Here are the strangest requests at the Portsmouth hotels: 

- Can you put a photo of Peter Crouch in my room for when I arrive? (Portsmouth Hilsea)  

- Can we decorate your reception area as a Christmas Grotto for our children? (Portsmouth)

- Can I borrow your shirt for a job interview? I split tea on mine this morning (Portsmouth Hilsea)

- Will you come with me to my cousins wedding? My date can't make it (Portsmouth)

- Does your pet policy cover my pet pony Penelope? (Portsmouth) 

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.'
