Good location but loud noisy music in rooms.
Overall I would say the rooms are modern with comfortable beds, a powerful walk in shower and good internet. The rooms are in a good location for Reading centre, with the town easy walking distance. On the downside my room was marketed on Hotels . com as having a 'King Bed' this turned out to be a Double. When asking reception (the bar downstairs) it turned out it should never have said King Bed. The gentleman serving was very friendly and did offer me a drink at the bar to make up for it. The major downside of this place it is incredibly noisy in the rooms from the pumping music in the bar downstairs until they close at 11. Not bad if you are out yourself but with a young son we were in the room from 8 hearing every single tune in the bar. For this reason I personally would not stay again.
