Arrived after driving all night from Scotland for a family funeral in Reading area. Allocated rooms 3&9 the corridor had a horrible smell and the rooms looked like they required a full refurbishment. We went straight to bed as we were all shattered. The beds were clean and comfortable but the bathroom tap leaked as did the shower and was extremely noisy. Got woken up at 5am with the Fire alarm being set off, for the record this had not been logged at reception. We should have complained at the time but were too tired and straight out to attend funeral next day.

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.

Not cleaned/updated after housing asylum seekers

Having arrived and being given a non smoking room that smelt of smoke and damp I asked for another room to find it was just as bad. The hotel had been used to house asylum seekers and not refurbished before opening again. It is not fit for humans ! I checked out and found another hotel (they refused a refund)

Tired,in need of TLC and a damn good clean

Suspicious stains on carpet (which has not been hovered either) so room changed. When closing curtain for night found blood stains on curtains in new room. Drawer handle came off in my hand No full length mirror Room lighting poor Rooms were tired, smelly and felt dirty. Also very hot despite turning heating off and weather being mild. Bar snacks choice very limited, bar shut earlier than stated in info folder. Breakfast- no vegetarian options except hash brown, egg and toast. Choice was limited (there were 6 of us and only 4 hash browns and 5 sausages, and not very hot. Eggs were cooked to order - asked for scrambled egg and was served a very greasy broken up omelette which the chef insisted was scrambled egg. Such a shame as it used to be a lovely hotel

Would definitely stay there again.

Pleasantly surprised. For the price we paid we were expecting something dismal but were just happy to have a bed for the night. Actually very good value for money. Tired but comfortable. Would definitely stay there again. One small point. We were absolutely delighted to find the room had a bath. Not so pleased when we went to run it and found no plug. 😥 Breakfast was exceptional value for money

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
All I needed was a cheap but acceptable room. The room was tired, poorly maintained. Plumbing sqeeked & oscillated, sink blocked, everything in the room worn out. View was of a room with cables everywhere. The hotel was characterised for me in the not providing any shower gel or soaps etc. Amusingly, they had left the metal holders for the bottles screwed to the wall. Presumably from the more generous previous owners. FELT WELL BELOW BEST WESTERN standard.
