Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located just a 5-minute drive from Newbury center, allowing for easy access to all activities. The rooms, though a bit worn, were spacious and equipped with essential amenities. The service was polite but lacked efficiency. The dining experience was hit or miss with limited food availability. The location near a major motorway roundabout provided good access but lacked public transport options.
The hotel offers fairly priced rooms despite being against the traffic of the M4 on a Sunday morning. The service can be challenging due to unhelpful staff. The location is modern and clean. The dining experience may require extra payment for certain items.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positive and negative aspects. The rooms were clean and quiet despite the proximity to major roads; however, some maintenance issues affected the overall cleanliness. The complimentary amenities were a nice touch, but the lighting was inadequate for work. The service was a bit inconsistent, with some staff being exceptionally attentive while others seemed preoccupied. The location had its perks and downsides, offering a cozy ambiance with good seating options but lacking ideal public transport access. The dining experience left much to be desired in terms of food availability and service flexibility. Despite these drawbacks, the hotel's facilities were satisfactory overall.
