Good, but needs some attention.

The place itself is very nice, but didnt quite hit the mark. The room was clean, but the bed was very hard. 1 toilet roll for 2 night stay, and asked for that never materialised. Asked for a hair dryer, same thing, nothing appeared. Had to ask for extra pillows. They arrived, but would.advise if tou stay here to bring your own, as the hotel.ones arent brilliant. We ate ther, and the food was good, if not quite expensive for what it is. If we really needed a hotel to stay in at ipswich then we would use again if there were no other options.

A very nice clean and recently refurbished hotel, I didn't use the bar or restaurant facilities, but the area looked nice and welcoming. One complaint I would have is the car parking, there are only about 15 bays on site, they claim they have an overflow car park, but this is simply a public pay and display which is about a 10 minute walk away,

Expectation exceeded 🏅

more than expected for price paid , brilliant staff and cleanliness of hotel in general food was amazing ( breakfast and evening meals which we had ), only issue we found was could do with more than one pillow each and if you have a stay of more than a couple of nights like we did then tea and coffee in rooms could be replenished each day rather than us having to pop to the receptionist each time to get a teabag and a milk carton

Great location

A very clean hotel with very polite staff. Good location for the waterfront & shopping. Disappointed that we were told the incorrect time for breakfast on the BH so missed it even though it had been paid for as we had to leave early.

Therapy dogs not catered for

I’m a regular here as I find the hotel beds comfortable and friendly stafff /good service The one thing I will say is that my two tiny service dogs are not taken into account and I am always charged £20 per dog despite advising the management of their role as registered therapy dogs . So for this I feel that they are not taking disability seriously

Good stay.

Great check in, service and hotel was very nice. Our bedding on the bed was clean but not soft / comfy. But this wasn’t a biggie, just not luxury bedding but can’t argue with the price! Also the breakfast was excellent. Lots of choice, fresh food and topped up regularly. Overall a decent stay at a great price.
