positive:
Convenient location
Guests like the location of the Travelodge Newbury Chieveley M4, describing how it is a good choice for a quick stopover for a meeting but also offers a convenient base from which to explore the attractions in the surrounding area.
positive:
Basic but comfortable rooms
Rooms at the hotel are hardly lavish but they are functional at least. Guests tend to describe them as clean and comfortable and more than adequate for a short stay. Also, guests note that the Wi-Fi, although costing extra, is reliable.
positive:
Pleasant staff
Previous guests frequently mention how pleasant the staff is at this hotel. While you shouldn't necessarily expect five-star service from a budget hotel, the staff do seem to go out of their way to be friendly and helpful during your stay.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Expensive on-site dining
Given that this hotel is in a motorway service area, you should expect the prices in the dining outlets to reflect that. You'll probably notice that prices are higher than they are in regular branches of the same chains (Costa and Burger King). There are a few restaurants/pubs within a short driving distance if you find the prices too high.
negative:
Noise reports
Again, because of the hotel's location in a motorway services, some traffic noise is likely. Expect to be able to hear cars and trucks around the clock. Also, some guests mention that they were able to hear other guests in their rooms and the hallways, suggesting that both internal and external soundproofing could be better.
negative:
Some maintenance issues
Although many guests find the rooms clean and comfortable, a number of reviews point out that you may encounter some maintenance issues. Reported problems include loose taps and toilet seats, door locks that don't seem as secure as they should, worn furniture and broken TV remotes.
