Sure Hotel by Best Western Reading

Sure Hotel by Best Western Reading

8/10 Good
"Generally good, the bed was comfortable and the room clean. Staff were very friendly and helpful, and parking was easy and plentiful. It's a take of two halves though; whilst the hotel was perfectly adequate in terms of cleanliness, staff, location, etc, the room I had was in one of the neighbouring buildings, which wasn't a problem in itself but the grounds looked very neglected, especially the view through my window to the rear (overgrown/unkempt, bags of garden waste that had obviously been there while, etc), and the landscaping in the parking area at the front, which left a poor impression - though the ease of access and parking was a positive. Carpets in the hallway and room were starting to look dated. The room itself was in some ways well appointed with a microwave and fridge (though I only stayed one night so needed neither) but at the same time was very large, with a lot of empty space (just one seat in a double room) and a fixed desk - a couple of more comfortable chairs (and maybe even a small coffee table) would have made it feel less empty. Overall, I'd stay again if I were in the area as the basics were there and the stay was perfectly adequate, and I appreciated the microwave and fridge, but it could really do with someone looking at the details; there's a lot of potential for it to be much better."

"Breakfast was absolutely lovely and we really enjoyed it. Having the evening meal as part of the package was great too — the food was very good, and we’d definitely try the steak again. The staff were so friendly, the grounds were lovely, and our hotel room was very clean. We’d definitely recommend visiting again💚"

It turned out to be a very happy detour as the staff were over-the-top according, the grounds were beautiful and peaceful and the food was top-notch. I would welcome the opportunity to be “stranded” here again with pleasure!"
