Room and bathroom were clean. Car Park had plenty of spaces and felt safe and secure. The breakfast was really good in both the range on offer and the staff. Tom on reception gave us a friendly welcome and gave great customer service, so rare these days.

Staff very nice and professional.
Price ok.
Walls are a bit thin between rooms. Mattress lumpy and needs to be replaced - I didn't sleep well at all.

We had no complaints it does what it says on the box, but the place is very tired, obviously the price reflects this. The staff were all helpful and friendly.

Honest review
The hotel is a little old and could do with a refurb BUT the staff were friendly, the room
was clean, the bed was comfortable and it was very quiet which for me are the four most important things in a hotel stay!

We were visiting our son who lived a 5 min drive away.
It was really only somewhere for us to sleep wash and have breakfast. The hotel was ideal for us. People were very friendly and breakfast was lovely.

Adequate accommodation
1st room had a very dirty toilet. We were moved to another room as there were no cleaning staff on duty.
2nd room was adequate. Room was warm and stuffy. Small double bed.
Food was good.
Staff were welcoming.

Mixed bag
There was a rowdy wedding going on and staff were overstretched. Shouting and banging of doors all night. Comfortable bed, but hair in the shower. Behaviour of other guests is of course out of the staff’s control, but more staff should have been on duty in anticipation.

Good location, hotel needs a refresh
Staff were friendly and check in was quick. Good location, right on the main road in and out of Reading. On a bus route too with frequent busses. Not much around in terms of bars / restaurants. Our room needed updating. Grubby carpet and basic facilities in room. Very warm room too. Fan provided. Hairdryers in rooms too, don't make the mistake we made and buy a hairdryer as there is one in room (hotel doesn't promote this on their website.
