Crowne Plaza Reading East

The breakfast was lovely, it was the same the two nights I stayed though. The location is great, there is a park close by where children can play and a lake with swans, good place to experience the quietness, or buzz of nature. I would recommend Crowne Plaza Reading East. The room was clean, I barely heard noise from my room. The pool and changing room was good, although the pool isn't very deep though (1.2m). You can pay for movies or watch normal TV channels, but I wish there was Netflix or Prime opportunity we could sign up to. Check-in was quick and fast and the receptionist was quick to help when called from the room. Parking was great too, it's free just register at the reception desk. Lastly I wanted a massage but it was fully booked so book on time if you want to use this service, I was put on a waiting list just incase some one cancelled, and two people did cancel which was okay but the time was not favorable for me.

Perfect and easy free safe parking underground, friendly knowledgable staff , wonderful bar staff friendly ,hard working, nice and one in particular funny to . Great food. Only ate in the bar area and that was excellent but the restaurant through the bar looked very nice to and surprising to me the full restaurant menu was also available in the more casual bar setting .

Although there was a lot of surrounding offices, the hotel is 10 minute walk to park and ride bus and the train station into Reading town centre and excellent shopping centre. Easy journeys. Within a another 10 minute walk in opposite direction and between the offices there is also a nature park. Opposite the hotel is a whSmiths for snacks and newspapers but this isn't open at weekends. Use the hotel QR code on the restaurant table and you get free access to online newspapers and magazines -brilliant

This is a modern, comfortable hotel with everything you could want just where you expect it to be, e.g. USB sockets near the bed. The entertainment system is set up so you can watch things from your device, casting on to their TV. There was a lot of variety for breakfast, and the food in general was much better than you might expect in a hotel on a roundabout off a motorway. There is an emphasis on Indian cuisine, which we tried for dinner, and it was delicious. The spa area is dimly lit and quiet. Nice warm steam room and sauna, large pool.

The hotel as a whole is great, and the staff are friendly and professional. The rooms are clean and comfortable with all the amenities that you would expect and like. The bath was great, especially as it meant that I could have one and actually full submerge in the bath, almost lying completely flat. The food was fantastic, with a variety of items available for any taste.
