Regardless, most guests appreciated the refreshed renovation effort and found their rooms adequately clean and comfortable, although some complained of a musty smell. Some rooms were very spacious and while some found them "HUGE," others wondered if it was overkill. Bathrooms were spacious too but could be spruced up and while some guests liked the retro feel, others complained of significant wear and tear or mustiness. Some rooms lacked insulation, so noise from hallways could be heard. But aside from a few small issues, the comfy rooms and beautify facilities at The Read House make for an enjoyable stay.

Although some guests experienced long waiting times to retrieve their vehicles, most found the valet drivers to be awesome and the service speedy.
