“Elmhurst Hotel has potential, especially given its family-run atmosphere, but needs a serious refresh. The location, near the University of Reading, is a plus, and the garden offers a bit of respite; still, cleanliness and maintenance seem to be ongoing concerns. If you're after a budget-friendly base and don't mind roughing it a little, this might suffice, but manage your expectations.”
