Travelodge Reading M4 Westbound
A no-frills bed for the westbound M4
About this hotel
This Travelodge keeps things simple: custom beds, free parking and a straightforward roadside setup aimed at drivers moving west along the M4 rather than guests looking to spend an evening at the hotel. It's roughly fifty minutes from Heathrow by taxi, which puts it slightly further from the airport than some of Reading's more central options, but that trade-off comes with a noticeably lower nightly rate. Breakfast costs extra rather than being baked into the room, which suits golfers keen to get moving early rather than linger over a buffet before the first tee time. Accessible rooms and a smoke-free policy across the building round out a stay that asks for nothing beyond a clean bed and a short drive to the first tee the next morning.

Our take
This suits a group whose budget is weighted toward green fees rather than the room itself. Free parking and pet-friendly policies cover the practical side, and the westbound position matters if the trip's courses sit that direction. Groups wanting an on-site restaurant or bar for the evening should look toward the Premier Inn cluster or the business hotels closer to the centre instead.
- Skip the paid breakfast if the tee time is early; eat on the way to the course instead.
- Check whether your courses sit west of Reading before booking here over the Eastbound sister property.
- Confirm parking space ahead of arrival for a group travelling in more than two cars.
Why we love it
- Free parking as standard across every room type
- Custom beds genuinely help after a long day
- Pet-friendly policy welcomes the whole travelling group
- Straightforward roadside access off the M4 corridor
Why guests love itWe picked this one purely on price and it did exactly what we needed: a clean bed, free parking for three cars, and nothing to distract from an early first tee time. It's not a hotel you'd choose for the evening, but for a trip where the golf budget mattered more than the room, it did the job without complaint.
