Crescent Hotel

Friendly man on desk

Noise from bedroom next to ours most of the night till we left at 8am. Sounded like either drunk or stones shouting to himself.

Nothing.

The whole property was a disgrace to the hotel service industry. There was mold down the side of the window, rust on the radiator, a busted sink, broken draw, and a hole in the mattress which looked like the entryway to rat's nest. When I pointed out everything to the guy at the desk, he made a defensive statement of how, apparently, for the prices they charge, "it's not worth investing in maintenance checks to bring the building up to code." If you think like that, you aren't in the right line of work.

Nothing

Staff was rude and smoking weed in room

Chain smoking hash next door. Go somewhere else.

Clean, cosy room, own bathroom. Loved it.

Proximity to Reading Town Centre

Room grubby, thin duvet, heating didn’t work, poorly fitted vanity unit, tepid hot water in room, poorly fitted and stained carpet, only a single electrical socket, tea and coffee not replenished, tepid shower in bathroom, soiled toilet not cleaned, no staff available, smell of cannabis use permeated communal areas, no plug for sink in bathroom.
