Redwings Lodge Wolverhampton
Room 209. City view. Lovely room, spacious and nice modern design. Good shower and bathroom. Bed fairly comfortable although dipped slightly in middle with 2 medium sized people in it. Pillows were plump. The only thing which let it down was the window catch was broken and the window would not close ...

Forest of Arden Hotel & Country Club
When we checked we were told we only got a 1 hour spa slot, which was disappointing but then when we went to book that slot we were told we couldn't use the spa due to full capacity. Very disappointed as we choose the hotel for the facilities
