Redwings Lodge Rutland

Rooms dated but clean , ok for 1night stop over . Staff friendly breakfast basic ,cereals ,toast fruit juices.and coffee .

Great three night stay. Was obviously a former Travelodge, so spacious rooms and good facilities. Would have liked a power socket nearer the bed for recharging iPad, phone etc. so they could be used as clocks. Great way of providing breakfast - help-yourself cereal/milk/fruit juice/bread to toast/butter/marmalade etc. Good parking, and quiet surroundings. Convenient for Rutland Water and Oakham.

Poor quality hotel. Toilet Door doesn’t shut Old dated and poor quality Bedding was stained, pillow has something gross on it. Food area was right next to our door so not happy with noise. Floor boards squeaks really annoying. Breakfast included! Only to find out it’s toast and cereal only. This place is a 2 star rating.

We booked a room for 2 adults and 2 children. We have previously stayed at the hotel a few years ago and had no problems. Yet this time when we went in the sofa bed was not set up. We spoke to the lady in reception who came back to the room with covers and we were told it was normal that guests set up the sofa bed ourselves. We struggled to get it flat and when we raised this , it was implied that it was our problem and there was no other rooms. The sofa bed had no mattress and was incredibly uncomfortable. The sofa bed is not very large and has large arms on the side. It was not really big enough for our two children to sleep on. I can’t recommend anyway staying if they have to use the sofa bed. The hotel itself is basic and clean. The breakfast is cereal and toast and was what was expected. Apart from the bed the hotel had everything that was needed.

As I checked in, there was a man standing in reception swearing angrily into his telephone. This set the scene for my stay. It was functional with no finesse. I won’t be rushing back.
