The bodies of the man , who was in his 60s , and the woman , in her 50s , were discovered in the same room at The Forbury Hotel in Reading , Berkshire ( above ) . Police said the deaths were 'unexplained but not suspicious ' The Forbury Hotel , which boasts of 'an indulgent and relaxing experience ' , remained sealed off yesterday while forensic specialists carried out their investigations . Thames Valley Police confirmed today that both the man and woman 's next of kin had been informed of the discovery . A spokesman for Berkshire Coroner 's Office said the names of the couple could not be released as they were yet to be formally identified . It is understood paramedics were called to the grade II listed hotel yesterday afternoon when a chambermaid discovered the bodies after the pair failed to check out . The door to their room remained locked and after the worker gained entry , she raised the alarm . The manager of the hotel refused to discuss the incident when contacted by MailOnline today . It is believed the pair may have hatched a plan to kill themselves and may have taken an overdose . Guests at the hotel told how the pair , who checked into the hotel on Sunday evening and booked a double room for the night , may have been suffering severe illness . It was believed the couple , who are said to live in a nearby town , decided to splash out on some luxury where they could spend their final hours . One hotel guest , who asked not to be named , said : 'Apparently it was quite obvious to the paramedics and police who were called that they intended to commit suicide . 'We have been told that they were a fairly local couple and that both were very ill - the woman more seriously so than the man . 'We were told that there was a lot of paraphernalia around in the room and also a note explaining what they were doing . ' I guess all the details will come out in the inquest into their deaths . ' Other guests checking out of the five-star hotel today spoke of their shock at the incident . A man aged in his 50s , who was staying at the hotel while in Reading on business , said : 'It is just shocking and so sad . I only checked in last night , so I missed the emergency services but I read about what happened . ' I really feel for them , it is just tragic that they felt they could not go on . ' The luxury hotel boasts of 'an indulgent and relaxing experience ' on its website ( pictured ) . Rooms cost up to £350-a-night and each comes complete with Egyptian cotton sheets and complementary branded toiletries . A 35-year-old man , who works in the area , added : ' I saw all the police cars and ambulances here yesterday as I only work around the corner . I actually thought someone had been murdered . 'You just never expect something like that to happen around here and at such an upmarket hotel . I guess perhaps if it was a double suicide , they wanted to go out in style in nice surroundings , it is a lovely hotel - not to sound insensitive at all , but it is known for being among the best in the area . ' I just hope the staff who found them are okay , that must have been very traumatic . ' A woman aged in her 30s , who was at the hotel with her mother , said : 'It is such a sad tale . It is devastating to think they felt they had nothing left to live for . ' The hotel has 23 rooms and a series of 16 apartments , which it lets out . Each room has Egyptian cotton sheets on all king size beds , with complementary Molton Brown toiletries and Nespresso coffee machines in every bedroom . Thames Valley Police confirmed that both bodies were discovered in the same hotel room .
