Not impressed and would not recommend it to friends unless they know which part of the hotel they would be in
It was in a good location
We were in the new part of the hotel away from the main building so you had to walk across the car park. The rooms were very basic for the money paid. The bar was not available as there was a…

In need of significant modernisation and staff training
Excellent location and spacious room for getting ready (the suite).
The staff were unhelpful and at times downright rude. The pillows were ancient and lumpy. The lights were faulty.

Some of the bedroom furniture was looking a bit…

Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.

Questions about The Roseate Reading

What time is check-in and check-out at The Roseate Reading?

Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Does The Roseate Reading allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Is there parking at The Roseate Reading?

Yes — parking is available on site at a charge the property sets. We check the rate and whether a space can be reserved against your dates.

Is breakfast included at The Roseate Reading?

Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.

Does The Roseate Reading have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Can I book a block of rooms at The Roseate Reading?

The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.

Does The Roseate Reading have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

Can I check in late at The Roseate Reading?

The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 3:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.

How do I book The Roseate Reading?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
