We'll never get rid of it, and at least it gives us all something to chat about that doesn't involve politics or religion.

That definition would also exclude thousands of pubs surely?

This Space For Hire
Travel Lodge and such like I have been glad that they have had a bar of sorts but it has been more of an enforced stay due to circumstances of the visit. If I could see a pub within walking distance then that is where I would be by choice.

Don't worry about it, I would rather you felt welcome to input than scared of making a mistake. Besides, as a group we like having something to moan about on this forum, and the hotels debate is always good fuel.

If you stretch the Travelodge theme to encompass Premier Inns, then the bar of the Norwich budget hotel adjacent to the River Wentsum does serve real ale to non-residents and thus surely qualifies for its listing:

PS OH, just spotted in my review I said use the Sovereigns as it looks posher. Hope it was not this comment that sent you there, if it was, I owe you a pint, HSB or Havant Started OK?
No, it wasn't your review - it was just the first pub I came to. Have now tried The Drake http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/13534/ and reviewed it. Beer was excellent, by the way, so it was a good recommendation.

Problem also for TL stocking (not stocking) real ale is that they usually lack cellarage, and/or sufficient turnover to always maintain standards. Good that they are taking an interest in the bottled market, but I imagine they'd be hoping for a less niche winner than a stout this year...
