Having read the article, it turns out he had been paid, there had be a hold up with the bank and it didn't get credited until Monday rather than the previous Friday. He hadnt checked his account before going all demolition man.
I suspect he will be looking at a charge of criminal damage and compensation to the contractor involved.

Apparently some online reviews say it is a bit draughty.
Others say the rooms are fully equipped. Kettle, iron, wifi and mini-digger.....

He isn't hurting Travel Lodge at all.
Of course he’ll inevitably get a few months inside. But I reckon it’ll cost the contractor a lot more than the £600 he was owed

My agency was late this month, so I made some calls and sent some emails.
This is a lesson in how to be out of business very quickly.

The hotel looks a dump. Are you sure he isnt causing thousands of pounds worth of improvements?

I would have stopped him with a Spit gun. The finest none licenced class one firearm there is. Either through the cabin straight into the operator or through a few hoses.
Either way, them beating the crap out of him when they got him out is a video that I hope comes out soon.
That and he will need another career now.

This chap claimed he was owed £600 by Travelodge. And rather than following the conventional approach to debt collection he thought he'd try another approach..
