My stay at the hotel had some highs and lows. The rooms were a bit small with two full-size beds and seemed like they could use some updating. On the bright side, the bathroom was surprisingly spacious. The lack of coffee and cups was a downside, but the room was clean overall.

I found the hotel to have a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms had some nice updates like renovated areas and great free Wi-Fi, along with comfortable bedding and work chairs. However, there were issues with missing lightbulbs and cleanliness, leading to a disappointing stay. The service was friendly and accommodating, although there were some minor communication hiccups. The location, although central and accessible to various attractions, raised safety concerns for walking around at night. The dining experience fell short of expectations, despite a good effort from the staff. Overall, the facilities were decent with room for improvement.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of wonderful surprises and some concerns. The room was immaculately prepared on the 11th floor, complete with a sweet anniversary card and gift from Tara. The staff, from the desk clerk to the manager, knew our story and made us feel special. The full-service breakfast was a treat, but there were some issues with the cleanliness of the dining area.

My stay at the hotel offered clean and comfortable rooms with a decent view of the Reading skyline, although some areas looked worn down and in need of updates. The service was nice and helpful, especially with dining recommendations. The location, although not the most appealing, was convenient with nearby shopping and dining options. The dining experience was lacking, with minimal offerings for the price. Overall, the facilities were average for the price paid.
