Excellent value for money and good location.
Pros:

Everything was good considering the cost. Thought good value for money.

Cons:

Noise - especially Saturday & Sunday when there were functions only lots of shouting etc. Also room backed onto to where deliveries were made so six o’clock in the morning woken by noise of mainly food I think being delivered.

Best western Reading
Pros:

The rooms were very spacious. The dining room and bar areas have plenty of seating. There was a great selection of breakfast food and beverages. There were functions on, in the other room, when meant we had some good music while in the bar in the evenings

Cons:

Unfortunately our two rooms were on different floors. There was not much headroom in the shower, over the bath, in the twin room. Some of the music and guests on the Sundays function were very loud and it made it difficult to relax in the bar.

Met my needs and nice staff.
Pros:

Friendly and helpful staff, good food. Free and easy to connect to wifi, free and plentiful parking.

Cons:

It would be good if room service was available at the hotel. I Had twin bed room rather than a double bed, but that could have been due to an error somehow on my part. Not sure.
The place was clean and in good order, but it is a bit faded/dated. It could do with a modern refresh.
