Good location, huge carpark, comfy bed , very quiet rooms, and really good friendly helpful staff. Only downside in the room was the shower which was very weak. Breakfast wasnt great, £14 each for a buffet but the quality wasn't great but it's hard when you're massive catering like that I suppose. Overall a nice comfortable stay and we would use it again.

Convenient parking, welcoming professional & friendly staff on arrival. Nothing too much trouble.

Room in convenient location and given the current heatwave quite cool. Also thoughtfully two fans provided.
We were disturbed around 3am by other guests in the corridor outside our room.
Room extremely clean, generous size & well equipped.

Average hotel, nice welcome from the man on reception and he was very helpful.

Very basic room and no Aircon.

Bar staff a little off,. Food was definitely average. Had the steak and it was tough!

Bed was ok, breakfast -lots of choice.

Like a lot of hotels these days a few upgrades would improve the experience.

This Holiday Inn provided a clean and spacious room with a comfortable bed. Just what we needed and at an affordable price. The shower was excellent. Breakfast was tasty (excellent croissants! But those horrible scrambled eggs?!). Dinner was disappointing. We ordered at about 7.20pm and waited over 45 mins for our food; something was wrong in the kitchen! So overall a good stay, but we won't dine there again.

The staff are always helpful and friendly whenever we stay at this hotel, which is one reasons we stay here when in Ipswich. The rooms are adequately furnished and always clean and fresh. The breakfast is plentiful and the staff in the dining room keep it clean, tables are cleared and re-set quickly.

Although it is just off the A14 it is a quiet location with good parking.

The room was clean and tidy Staff were brilliant. We had our granddaughter with us, they made a big fuss of her, even gave her the VIK wrist band for extras on drinks.
Breakfast was very good, cereals to English breakfast...
We came in our EV car, and they have fast chargers on site, reasonable price also..very handy..

Lovely large car park upon arrival, very grateful! Met by very pleasant and friendly hotel staff. The room was very clean and comfortable. Everything I needed was there, any questions I had were answered quickly by the staff in a friendly manner. I was out for the evening and was greeted warmly by the reception staff upon my return, asking if I had had an enjoyable evening. This was lovely.
Self serve breakfast in the morning was served in the restaurant which was spotless. The food was plentiful and hot. Plenty of tea, coffee and fruit juices. A lovely relaxed stay and would highly recommend. Very good value for money.

Great friendly staff, nice touch for the kids... they were given a voucher ea to to choose beteen, a cold drink, a hot choc with marshmallowsor an ice-cream from the bar. Slso free fizzy drinks, crisps and kitkats in the mini-fridge in tge room were nice touches.
The only downer for the hotel as a whole was that there was no air-conditioning in the bedroom or the bar area and so the environment was fairly hot and stuffy.

Pretty much everything about our trip was on point and we couldn't have asked for better.
From arriving and being greeted by the kind and friendly receptionist, to the drinks station of iced water or hot drinks (including a doggy station with water and treats!)as you walk in,to the amazing suite that I booked.
Room 33, what a room!
Very spacious and accommodating for everyone's needs. The room had a big built-in wardrobe housing an iron and ironing board, a small safe, a big desk with the kettle and coffee machine and a mini fridge with complimentary drinks/snacks in underneath, 2 x tvs, large spacious main bed, double sofa bed and a single bed, along with an armchair and a table with two chairs to sit at. Far better than the room we'd stayed in the week previous and had paid more for (but it was London, so expected I guess!) The mini gym was a lovely addition and well thpught out.

We were so impressed with the standard of service we received - thanks to all the staff! We requested an early check in so that we could get changed in time for going to a wedding nearby, and nothing was a problem. The welcome we received each time we returned to the hotel was warm and genuine. The breakfast was delicious too. Again, it was no problem at all when we requested some vegan items. Nothing and no one could have been better!

King bed is not a king bed - it’s two singles zipped together on castors making it an uncomfortable sleep.

Bathroom flooded with a short shower.

Reported to reception and was told as they are busy it would be an inconvenience for housekeeping to move us.

We were offered member points which we declined as we rarely stay in HI. We were offered 2 free drinks again - adding insult to injury.

Hotel is noisy- you can hear other rooms, banging on floor above and the breakfast is overpriced for a cold selection of food.

Nice enough staff but seemingly apologetic but happy to allow guests to continue in rooms they are unhappy with.

Would never recommend.

A good and convenient hotel.

I have stayed here before and found it well maintained, clean, comfortable and safe. On this visit the hotel did not disappoint either, though the bar staff left a lot to be desired, three chatting while you wait in an empty bar is not good. A big contrast to the young man on reception, welcoming, quick and efficient.
Convenient for Ipswich, Felixstowe and even Bury St Edmund are a very easy drive

The hotel was generally clean and the staff were very friendly. The hotel was a little tired looking and the room could have done with plugs by the bed and a shower that didn't soak the floor, but it was very spacious and perfectly comfortable.
When we came back late from a wedding party the reception desk was unmanned (with a sign), but the computer was visibally still logged in and easy for anyone to access (mirror behind reception desk displayed this), which was a bit of a worrying GDPR failure waiting to happen.

Mid August stay

We had a lovely 2 night stay. The 2 people on reception were so lovely and friendly. It was very hot weather when we arrived and we were pleasantly surprised to see that they had placed an air conditioning unit in the room for us. The breakfast was delicious so we all over ate! We were in a family room and the one niggle we had was that the mattress on the sofa bed was thin and therefore every spring could be felt. We mentioned it to reception and the lovely lady on duty told us that roll out cot beds can be requested instead.
