Excellent experience
I was called down to Reading for a business meeting. Unfortunately, i am on crutches at the moment, so needed on site parking which most city centre Hotels did not offer, i booked this hotel as it was only a short distance away from my meeting venue, Iwas greeting and checked in by the manager, he then carried my overnight bag to my room for me, (thank you ). The room was lovely and clean with a vast array of nibbles and a well stocked fridge, suppliments applied. After freshening up i went to the comfortable bar , restaurant and ordered my food, the bar staff took my drink order from the table and brought it to me, the food was first class and very tasty, all in all a very satisfying stay, top marks to the staff, i would definitely recomend thus as a place to stay.

Beautiful hotel conveniently located just 30 minutes away from Heathrow airport. The hotel staff were very friendly and welcoming. The rooms were tastefully decorated and provided high-quality equipment and products. The breakfast was delicious. Highly recommended.
