The staff were friendly and helpful and my room was spacious, bright, airy and clean. The bed was huge and very comfortable. The amenities were basic but I had everything I needed, including a much needed fan as it was a hot day! The hotel itself is nothing special, the decor is a little run down and in need of a paint job in some areas. My bathroom had rust in the bath and the finish was needing some tlc. The front entrance to the hotel clearly had a no smoking sign which was ignored as it had a strong smell of cigarettes which was not a good first impression. I’m not a fan of self check in at a hotel- it’s not nice to arrive and find the reception unmanned. I did call for assistance which came quickly however and the member of staff was very helpful. It was pretty average place and ok if you just need to stay for a night.

Dated

Staff very friendly. Good breakfast and parking. Very convenient for bus into my Ipswich.

This was a 1-night stay for work. I was in room 220 which was a long walk from reception. Car park was free, but at the front of the hotel, filled up quickly. The room however was huge as was the ensuite. TV and Wifi okay. Decor a bit dated. Staff were friendly and helpful.

No water for showering.

Excellent rooms, staff, breakfast, facilities, parking and value .

Bathroom filthy especially washing facilities Staff could not understand English Room needed updating No frills or modern cons Restaurant no words

Property needs a bit of tlc but the staff are amazing, couldn't do enough to help us and accomodate my room request. Special thanks to the restaurant staff member who kindly filled out drinking bottles with cool water before our drive home!

Excellent value for money.

Nice clean tidy room

Nice stay. Ok for a short stopover. Plenty of parking. Lovely breakfast 🍳☕🍞. Good selection. Friendly & helpful staff.

Booking in was made difficult by the staff members poor communication skills. We contacted the hotel a few weeks prior to our stay date to inform them we would be checking in around 7pm. On arrival the room was extremely hot, the radiators were off so we opened the curtains and windows fully and turned on to max the supplied fan (no Aircon), whilst we went out to eat locally in Ipswich. On our return to the room a few hrs later the temperature was unbearably hot, despite the aforementioned steps we had taken to try and cool the room down. We went to bed and attempted to sleep, and so began the worst night sleep either of us have ever experienced, the heat did not subside...the only saving grace was that we were in the room and hour less than we would have been normally due to the clocks going forward for spring daylight saving. Breakfast was acceptable but again made awkward due to a different staff members odd communication. Communication on checkout was minimal which tbh suited both of us at this point, we were not asked how our stay had been. We will not be staying here again.

The room was in a neglected state , toilet didn’t flush properly, pillows paper thin, bed rock hard, walls thin, constant banging outside, room smelt damp , very bright flashing from smoke alarm right above bed all night ..a large group of us stayed here for one night and nobody slept well at all. Breakfast was poor choice (no vegetarian option) and took ages to refill when empty and they need more staff around the hotel

Clean room and comfortable bed. Staff helpful and friendly

Conveniently situated just outside Ipswich. Plenty of fee parking with decent rooms and food.

Hotel was a good choice to stay. Quiet & clean Very helpful, nice polite staff. Good choice at breakfast

Ideal For what we needed

Clean room, friendly staff and easy check in process

The cleanliness of the room and friendliness of the receptionist. Breakfast was very tasty

WiFi didn’t reach my room, I paid for the most expensive one at the property and it was a real shame as I had work I needed to complete. Which had to be put on hold due to the inconvenience. Spoke to the night staff and wasn’t helpful at all.
