Stayed here with a group from work for a team meeting, followed by the Royal Berkshire Conference Centre's Christmas dinner/"All the fun of the fair" package.
Check-in was very efficient and personable with our group being looked after together.
I had one of the rooms overlooking the atrium which provided a first view of the evening's entertainment and dining. I wasn't really aware of any noise from outside, though others commented that you could still hear things.
The rooms are quite large, including the bathroom, which was well lit. The bed was very comfortable and there is lots of space to sit, relax and work.
The water pressure was good as was the temperature of the hot water. I appeared to need to set the room thermostat quite high though before the blower started to emit warm air. The TV appeared to have a large number of digital channels. A tea and coffee making kit was located above the fridge, which was empty, i.e. there wasn't a mini-bar. Within the large wardrobe was an electronic safe.
Breakfast was good. A wide choice of both hot and cold buffet items, with attentive service.
Check-out was again very quick and personable and the concierge promptly ordered the required taxis.
This is a well-designed hotel, with very wide corridors and places to sit and relax on the guest floors.
Wifi was supposed to be free, but even with the password, my iPhone wasn't able to connect.
This is probably not the first choice for a tourist holiday stay, but if you're working in one of the neighbouring business parks, or attending an event at the adjoined conference centre, then you can't go wrong.
