Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Lodge Hotel is often praised for its convenient location near Newbury Racecourse and its easy access to amenities like Tesco and Sainsbury's. Guests appreciate the plentiful tea and coffee in the well-equipped rooms and find the breakfast superb, often highlighting the English breakfast and the pleasing breakfast area. The hotel's decor, featuring suitcase-style wallpaper, adds a touch of vintage charm; however, some guests have noted that room space can be limited. The large car park is a definite plus.

convenient locationpleasant stafftaxi servicelow sink
the hotel is right on the racecourse , so the location was convenient for attending the races. the staff members were all so pleasant , always ready to help with a smile. i got a taxi sorted directly to my workplace, a great help. the bed was very comfortable.
the accessible room seemed more suited just for wheelchair users , because the bathroom sink was at a very low height. it made it a little difficult to use comfortably.

Mixed Experience

attentive stafffaulty kettledirty wall
The staff was always attentive, a detail I appreciated.
On arrival, I got too much information at once. The kettle was faulty. It posed a safety hazard when it boiled, requiring quick action to prevent an accident. The wall by the bed had a dirty mark. I also found a pubic hair on the sheet.
