I selected hotels with a swimming pool and this property came up in a search. £111 for a standard double room.. which I was prepared to pay as it had a nice looking pool. On arrival however it transpired that the pool and spa were closed for refurb! The receptionist took pity and 'upgraded' my room but the shower was old and grubby and not very powerful at all. Felt a bit duped by the whole experience. Raised my concerns on checking out and had to wait a while for the manager to come.. who said she could only refund the extra £15 I paid for breakfast. Tbf the breakfast was really good, but all in all disappointed that A) it was listed as having a pool and B) cost that much for a grubby shower and no swimming pool. Unlikely to return

OK as a business hotel.
A business hotel in a quite an isolated position. Its a tidy hotel, the room was very large and the staff were friendly but I had a few major issues.. the toilet did not flush (at all!); room service took 1hr and 20 mins and some of the bedding didnt smell too fresh.

Nice hotel, nice room, unfortunately the location is not the best but if you have a car the main shopping area of reading is only a 9 min drive. I would stay again, the man who checked us in Jan or Yan was very nice and professional
