Nice solo stay

Nice location, would be nicer if they advised you which car park is their concession car park before you get there. Lots of takeaways nearby, and shopping centre next door. Room was clean, and plenty of pub games in the foyer to play.

Lovely interior with spacious rooms with everything you could need for a 2 nights stay, only complaint is the noise outside the hotel if you leave the window open due to being on the high street but cant fault the hotel for that one. Would recommend to anyone staying in reading
