Tired

Been a regular guest over the last 4 years due to work. Great location, friendly staff but the condition of the rooms has only got worse. With some money spent on it could be excellent.

Excellent all round stay very spacious rooms
Arthur, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Nobody on reception when I arrived - eventually found the receptionist in the bar. Parking availability isn’t guaranteed as a hotel guest because the car park has very limited spaces, shared with bar/restaurant patrons (and Xmas party attendees). Money has been spent on modernising the ground floor but that’s where any investment seems to have stopped. You go up the stairs to the first floor and even the carpet changes from contemporary to 90s parents living room. Wasn’t asked how my stay was on departure, otherwise I would have told them the water in the shower went icy cold twice that morning when I was trying to use it. Generally offers less than the refurbished Travelodge rooms, or newer built Travelodge and Premier Inns in the town centre.
Bed was hard with little to no padding.
Dirty corners.
Condensation.
Poor bathroom maintenance.

The breakfast was excellent, the staff were very friendly and helpful. Great walking distance to all shops and restaurants (Bills was excellent!). Easy parking with a big lot. Spacious, clean rooms. Only issue was the electrical couldn’t support our adapters.

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.

Staff were nice, breakfast each morning was self-service, which is great, but more of; once it's gone, it's gone, very slow to replenish the items... The garden needs to be tidied as it's overgrown.
