“This property strikes me as an odd mix, with some areas appearing newly built while others show their age. Its location near the M4 motorway is convenient, and the free parking is a definite plus in this area. Despite some reported inconsistencies, the hotel's pet-friendly policy and proximity to Reading's attractions could appeal to certain travelers.”

Solid Stay Near the Park

spacious twin roomhelpful staffcomfortable bedgood night sleep

My twin room was spacious. The staff was helpful. I found the bed very comfortable. A good night's sleep. The hotel was very clean. The shower had good water pressure. I liked it a lot. The room came with brew-making facilities. I used the fan to keep the room cool. The breakfast had a good selection. If I disliked something, they replaced it. The parking area was large. I appreciated the easy check-in and check-out process. The location worked well for me. The park was a few minutes away. My dogs loved it. I found the reception staff polite and pleasant.

The exterior looked a bit worn, like a building site.

The staff was always nice. I appreciated that the room was tidy. It was convenient to reach places in and around the area. I will continue to use this hotel on my future trips.

The hotel windows opposite my room looked directly into my window. There were no net curtains to mitigate this. I had to keep the curtains closed to maintain privacy.
