A Comfortable Stay Near the Thames

large bathroomcomfy bedfriendly staffbusy road
The room was quite large, clean, and very comfortable. A large bathroom offered great functionality. I found a great shower and a comfy bed in my lovely room. I appreciated the easy walk from the hotel to Goring station.
The room was too hot. I could not open the windows because the room opened directly onto a busy road junction.
