Worked Well for One-Night Stay
Pros:

Close to Henley on Thames where we were going to an event. Great price for one night. Good for Greene King pub access also, which usually does decent food for a reasonable price. Tea and coffee in the room. Decent bathroom. Decent bed and good night sleep. Free parking (if you can get a space!). Next to a fuel station that has a shop.

Cons:

No parking space on arrival, so needed to park nearby initially until a space was available. Check-in took a bit of time as nobody was initially at the desk on arrival. Small window in room and bit of road noise. Bit dated inside, but added character to the stay!
