Bizarre requests made by customers staying at a chain hotel in Windsor have been revealed.

Travelodge have released a number of their strangest requests made to reception by people staying at one of their 513 hotels in the UK.

Shakila Ahmed, Travelodge spokeswoman, said: "Our annual bizarre requests audit of 513 hotels reveals over 200,000 unusual requests by our business and leisure customers, with some of the more unusual ones coming from our hotel in Windsor."

Among the questions asked of reception at the King Edward Court hotel included:

Can you call the castle and find out if the Queen is in?
The train took a long time today. Can you arrange for a quicker one to London for us tomorrow?
Can you watch TV with me for an hour?
Can we have 20 extra pillows in our room?
Can I have a room with an even number please? I don't like odd numbers.
