Six day stay

I have stayed in The Chequers several times while visiting family. This time for 6 days.The staff are great. They have always accommodated an early check in which is highly appreciated. The room is serviced daily. The location in Newbury town is excellent for local restaurants etc. Adequate car parking.

4/10 Fair

The whole hotel is in a poor condition and extremely tired, with one room having water coming through the ceiling while the room above was using the shower and another had parches of damp that had been painted over. Very basic rooms and basic food. Certainly wouldn’t recommend or go back

6/10 Good

Never again

Had a long wait for someone to come to reception. And room not ready till 6pm. Then unable to use as they used strong bleach and it was so bad it burnt your eyes and you couldn’t go in. So then had to wait again for another room.
Tina, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Cancellations

If you make a booking for more than night & cancel on the date of arrival, you will be charged for the whole duration of the booking & NOT for just the first night. i.e. if you book for 5 nights, you will be charged for the whole 5 nights.

Tawdry: both service, amenities and the building

The place was tawdry, the room, especially the en suite, was dirty, dusty and I had to unblock the toilet after use. The extract system had failed before we got there. I didn’t report any of this as I was there to go to a funeral. The fire alarm seemed to have mind of its own, going off spuriously for no apparent reason! Cooked breakfast was barely warm and I was kept waiting for toast. The morning alarm was from a refrigerated food delivery van, beautifully positioned outside our accommodation.
