Great for parking and centre...

Liked: Location is good, right by the High Street with all the shops and facilities. The bed was comfy and clean. Parking. Tea/Coffee /biscuits in the room was great.
Disliked: It felt like a British version of a motel. The room was on the ground floor with a tiny window. The whole vibe was dated and gloomy with old carpets, marks on the walls, broken clock, old bathroom facilities etc.

Excellent location

Liked: Loved the location, very friendly, helpful staff, daily serviced rooms, and Happy Hour cocktails.
Disliked: Money needs to be spent on this accommodation. The installation of a lift would be extremely beneficial. The inclusion of a bar refrigerator would have complimented the tea making facilities and, with a toaster, would have reduced our costs as everything in Newbury, and England in general, was so expensive for Australians.

Staying here was a mistake...

Liked: The staff were friendly but distracted by multi-tasking between the pub/restaurant and hotel guests.
Disliked: I was pretty shocked by the poor quality of my room in the 'stable block', out back next to the car park. The blind had fallen off the window (not great on these long midsummer days). I was told it couldn't be fixed and was given a duvet cover to hang over the window. I eventually fixed the blind myself and was offered a free breakfast as 'payment'. The room itself was small and very dingy – the lights were so low that I had to use my phone torch to read the menu. Snoring from the guest next door was very audible (paper thin walls), and the shower dripped all night. If Marston's can't be bothered to freshen up these rooms, they should stop charging for them.
