I drive a semi tractor and trailer and was in Reading making a delivery and stopped because it was in the area where i had to go. It was the nastiest, filthiest most disquesting place I have ever stayed. I wanted to take a shower to end the hard day and relax before going to bed and the shower and... More

The title pretty much sums up the highlights of our 2 night stay. - Our telephone was broken, so we had no way to contact the front desk. - The non-smoking room smelt so badly of smoke that I had to Febreze my luggage, and leave it outside in the sun for 3 days to get the smell out, and... More

During this guest's stay the hotel was sold out. There were no other rooms available. It is our practice to make our guests happy and comfortable. We did at that time have trouble with our phone system and since then the phones are working without trouble. We have even increased our wifi service! Our rooms are being updated and renovated...

I stayed at the property a few years back and was happy at the progress made as there was alot of construction going on at that time. The rooms were clean and the people were friendly which I think is the most important for motels in this prices range. To the last reviews point, try to stay in the building... More

I read the reviews here but decided to stay here mainly because the prices were better but also because I already had had bad experiences at some of the other places in Reading. I brought up what I had read here during check in and was assured that as long as I stayed in the “front” building, there was nothing... More

PLEASE take the advice of the reviews here. DO NOT stay at this place. My family arrived at 3:30 and our room was not available. When asked when, the one woman running the place had to chase down the cleaning staff. A half hour later and still no answer. We were in town, just travelling through and stopped for the... More

Had three rooms booked for a two night stay for a short family vacation. Ended up checking out after one night. This was undoubtedly the filthiest, most disgusting place I have ever stayed. The rooms smelled of mold and urine; no working door locks or smoke detectors and the refrigerator had a towel in it to soak up the leaking... More

I'd have to say this was the worst hotel we have ever stayed at. The facility was dirty and not at all maintained. We had a shower that would not drain. The first night we were there I called the front desk to have somebody come and take a look at the drain. Nobody showed up. I called again in... More

This hotel was possible the worst hotel we have ever stayed at. We were first hit in the face with the most horrible smell in the hallway leading to our room. Our children wanted to go into the pool, that was semi clean, yet no towels on the towel rack. The staff said they would bring some out. Never did.... More
