Hotel was good especially for the price. Amenities were okay, could be improved. Stains on carpet, but room was clean nevertheless. Staff helpful and polite. Breakfast was poor for the price. Tiny cups for water or juice, literally one sips worth, not ideal to get up for drinks every sip.

Only problem was parking, non-cancellable booking and advised after booking made of £ 10 car park fee, had to pay as could not cancel ! Car registration details not linked to room number so if blocked in, that is how you will stay !

The stay was wonderful. The staff very friendly. Nothing was too much for them.The room was cleaned every morning.
The only thing is.The room was booked for 3 nights by 2 people.Only one set of towels in the room.Then next morning after a clean l had to look for the room attend requesting another set of towels. This bugged me.It would be nice to have a phone in the room,also an iron and ironing board.

Check-in was quick and simple. Clean and spacious room with a good walk-in shower. However, the TV kept losing its signal which was rather annoying.
Breakfast is a hot and cold self-serve buffet. The evening menu has a good variety of choices.
On-site parking is limited and was full by about 16:00 on the two nights we stayed.

Took my partner away here we stayed here for 2 nights.
On arrival staff was very welcoming and helpful.
Parking here is expensive but if you park on Compair crescent which is near (5 min walk) by it’s a lot cheaper saved myself £15.00.
Convience stores are very near for your essentials.
1 Lifts was working on day we arrived and other was out of order. Then the other lift went down so had to use stairs in end for rest of our stay,which was ok but on departure we had to carry everything up and down stairs as had to make 2 journeys to room to get our belongings.
Breakfast would been better if food was kept warmer as was only very luke warm when we had breakfast.
Was very happy they provided soya milk so thank you .
Didn’t buy any food or drink at the hotel but as thought prices was too high priced.
Would stay here again to see if anything my comments has been listened too.
But was a good stay apart from my negatives.
Good bus routes into town and railway 5 min away so good location.

All staff were excellent and went out of their way to make our stay as good as they could. Although a modern hotel , it doesn’t really cater for us older generation. Unable to use tv in our rooms, only via apps which we couldn’t use. 1 lift was out of order and the second lift kept failing, so the staff moved us 4 guests to the ground floor. Tv still no good there. It seems to be a business hotel, so not suitable for the visiting Ipswich leisure guest. Due to the difficulties with changing rooms, the bar running out of basic drinks, it spoilt our stay. Thankyou to all the staff for doing your best.

Lovely hotel in a great location for the town centre or the football ground. Bed was a bit too hard for me. They no longer have Sky Sports so only had the news Chanel on the TV. Such a shame as I would have stayed in the bar area to watch the evening game. Please invest in sky sports like you used too.

Hotel and staff are fab this is my 3rd stay within months and it’s now a firm fav, what makes this hotel is the nice clean rooms but mostly the brilliant staff they cannot do enough for you, they treat you like a friend, polite cheery and knowledgeable.

The brekkie is a buffet style vegan sausages to order should you want them, scrambled eggs mushrooms sausages bacon beans hash browns and hot porridge, lots of cold foods and the bread selection is great. Just what you need to start the day. Easy to have food delivered in from local shops should you need too but the food in the hotel for evening meal is nice and fairly priced.

This is a great location if you’re going to an away game at Ipswich Town Football club. The hotel is great - pretty similar to a Hampton by Hilton in format and style. It’s just over the Bobby Robson bridge so an easy walk to the ground or the town and a slightly longer walk along the tow path to the Marina area. Staff are excellent. Very friendly and helpful. Food is good. I ate there for an evening meal and it was freshly cooked and tasty. On site parking so we left the car there for the match and then walked back after the game. I’d definitely stay there again (but Ipswich is a long way from the Boro for an away game) UTB!!

We came for the football on the Saturday and we was very impressed with the hotel, rooms were nice, decent bar, excellent breakfasts, although we didn’t eat in the hotel the menu was excellent and not overly expensive, and from what we saw people eating it looked very nice. As most hotels there always seems to be an issue with the breakfasts on a Sunday morning as they ran out of glasses for the juice, then had to wait 20 minutes for bacon, then the coffee machine ran out, but it does seem to be the norm at most hotels as this is something we always see. Having said that the young lady was running round doing her very best and was very polite and like I already mentioned the breakfast was well worth waiting for. Hopefully be back one day.

This is an obviously well run hotel with first impressions catered for. The staff are all pleasant and welcoming and the room well laid out with plenty of room to breathe. The air conditioning worked well and more importantly was quiet in its operation. Close to the main station and just a short walk to town. The breakfast was excellent with a very good choice of hot and cold food. The evening meal, though expensive, was excellent and a good portion was given. All in all an excellent place to stay.

They allow you to leave a case before or after you check out, for a couple of hours. The Travelodge suddenly stopped allowing this, so this hotel is much better for ITFC fans who don’t have a car in which to lock luggage.
The breakfast is better too, although they could do with an extra coffee machine for peak times.
They allowed me to check in early, which was great.

Absolutely amazing hotel to stay in, the staff honestly are a credit to the company, I stayed alone for 3 nights back in Nov and had to return a week later with my family as my father was end of life, we arrived to the hotel at 2am with a toddler in tow and the staff were simply the loviest helping us park in a very full car park so we didn’t have to park off site, were very compassionate and said If they could help with anything they would. They saw my partner and little one walking around over the next few days and went and got little one a sand which and snacks. Breakfast was lovely a great array of choice and very helpful with ordering veggie sausages, plenty of choice of breads and hot drinks also. We didn’t eat off the main menu but it looked and sounded lovely from what we saw.
I booked this hotel as I loved it the first stay so booked again, sadly they don’t do family rooms so that means 2 rooms being paid for but to be honest I’m happy to do that if it menas staying somewhere so nice x

Breakfast was hot and fresh and the choice of breakfast goodies was good. Evening meal was ok and filled a hunger need but if there was a reason for not 5 stars it would be this and the lack of ale at the bar.
