"I needed somewhere that was able to do late check-ins, as I had a long drive late at night to get there - this hotel appears to have round the clock reception, and it was no trouble arriving late at night (after 11pm) - hotel's own website claims 24/7 reception desk, which reassured me. Room was great except the window frame really needed replacing (old wooden frame with cracks and rots in several places, and a latch that was broken so window could not close firmly and leaked cold air from outside). Other than that, very clean, comfy bed, tv, even a small desk with plenty electrical sockets, wifi included, microwave oven, fridge, kettle, plates/cutlery/mugs, tea/coffee, en-suite bathroom with nice towels on warm radiator/towel rail and basic toiletries; on-site parking included in price... Ticked all my boxes for a brief stay for a meeting in Reading the next morning. Also very reasonably priced, in the region of 60 pounds for a mid-week stay. A good option which I may use again in future if I need to stay in Reading - would be plenty nice enough for a longer stay too if needed. They offer breakfast/meals also which I haven't tried - options seemed reasonable from the menu in the room."
