Great as always… Lovely staff, easy parking and check in. Restaurants within walking area but their restaurant/bar is perfect… 30second walk from the hotel. Quiet and safe as you have to tap the card twice at the front and then room.
I really like this hotel and will be staying many more times over the summer.

We liked this was separate from the pub, nice and quiet and great air conditioning.
Emma
Great stay at the mermaid, staff were very helpful and the air conditioning was wonderful! Comfy bed. Very clean. No complaints.
Nigel
Great spot, easy to drive to. Rooms good size, we had a twin room with 2 single beds which looked like they were usually fastened together to make a double. Singles quite narrow.
Morag
A comfortable and convenient hotel, pleasant staff and clean rooms with very comfortable beds
Mircea
We stayed for 2 days during the May bank holiday and everything was excellent!

Oi Sze
Room temperature was good. Staff was helpful. Menu has good variety. I enjoyed my stay.
ANDREW
I had a really positive stay. Every member of staff I met was super friendly and welcoming, and check‑in was smooth and informative. I also really appreciated them keeping my medication chilled in their fridge without any hesitation.
The room was clean and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The location is very convenient, with shops and places to eat just a short walk away, and the free parking made things even easier.
Overall, a pleasant and hassle‑free experience that I’d happily repeat.

Fantastic accommodation, room was nearly new and spacious!
kirsty
Fan went off every 20 seconds during the night, wasn’t aircon as that was switched off so not sure what it was but kept me awake all night. Door didn’t lock properly when vacating the room. Tried about ten times. Eventually got it to lock, but when I was inside the room had to put a chair against the door as I was unsure if it was locked from outside as I was a lone female traveller. Normally stay here for work but won’t be staying again.
Carlo
All Good, very reasonable prices, I recommend customers leave luggage in car until checked in, as accommodation is on opposite side of car park, no complaints, very nice staff, and accommodation presentable, very good food and drink choices, IMPORTANT-- the room key (card) is also used to enter the accommodation block as well as your room.
Ian
Clean room, great service amazing staff
James
Good room. Very quiet. Communication in advance was a challenge and early check in is expensive for a budget room. However, it was a good and comfortable stay with friendly on site service especially from the man tending the car park on match day.

On arrival at 10pm with a toddler in tow & having driven 7 hrs we were told on check in that someone else had checked in as us, I was baffled but was told by the staff member that he showed the guest the computer screen and he pointed to our booking so was given the room.i was so distressed that someone now had all my private details, the staff member then went to move guest to another room and clean the room that was meant for us, this took an hour from start to finish we then get to our room & the second bed had not been made up so staff member had to come back to do it, he was in and out the room 5 times as kept forgetting the correct sheets etc, we finally was able to get the toddler sorted at 11.35pm when he finally completed the bed making. Breakfast was dire no choice of bread, the scrambled egg was swimming in grease and the dinner (carvery) that next evening was equally as bad. The bathroom smelt the plug must have not drained as it was awful.
I wanted to love this hotel as it’s so easy for us but sadly it was riddled with issues not ideal when you are staying to attend your father’s funeral.
I did make a complaint to both hotels.com and the mermaid and was refunded just for one night strangely.

Martin
This is not a hotel. It is a box with beds in it across a car park from a pub with no walkway. Woken when you are already in bed and told you are in the \"wrong\" room is not hospitality. The box of beds has a doorway indicating it is reception and outside there is a sign pointing at it saying it is the reception, but it is not the reception. I was only able to find the reception (in the pub), because there was a bloke standing outside smoking a cigarette who told me where to go. Getting an email inviting me to check out before I have even got into bed is not \"helpful\" and \"efficient.\" It is telling me I am a piece of meat. I have asked you for a receipt for what I paid for accommodation but you will not give it to me for some reason. Where is my receipt, please?
Ian
Safe parking good location would definitely stay here again
Adam
Room was large and spacious, clean and of good quality. Parking was easy for a Sunday night stay with registration given at check in. Breakfast was at the restaurant next door which is part of Marstons. Had dinner and breakfast here. Food was okay, slightly disappointing compared to previous experiences of Marstons restaurants. It was the finishing touches on the food that provided the negative review
Dave
Clean room very confortable could do with a second chair. Staff very helpful and nothing was to much trouble. Restaurant clean tidy then again staff very helpful.
Very enjoyable stay would thoroughly recomend.

A good choice
Room was quite warm, even with air con on, but overall really nice room.
Patking appeared secure enough. Staff were awesome and friendly.
Our only complaint was the double ved seemed quite a small double and the matress was really quite uncomfortable but the room overall was lovely.

We only stayed the one night as we were going to a concert in the town centre and didn't want to drive home that same night. There was plentiful free parking and it took us only a 15 minute walk to get to the town centre. The staff were very friendly and check in was easy. Our room was clean and at best I'd describe it as functional (no frills) but it suited our purpose and I'd definitely stay overnight again - the check out a11 am was a real bonus as this is an hour later than most.

Nice Pub with nice hotel inside but not connected.
Sarah
Pleasant stay
Reception is in the nearby pub which is separate from the accommodation building. This could have been made clearer (there were some signs on entering the car park, however the next person to check in after me also missed those).
I paid £20 for a late check out and originally this was only a 1 hour extension, however the lady on reception advised she could extend this to 2 hours on this occasion. It wasn’t clear when booking the late check out that it wasn’t buying much more time so that could be improved.
My room was very spacious and clean, and it had everything I needed (kettle, hairdryer, plenty of hanging space for clothes, decent air conditioning). It was on the road side of the hotel, and there was some road noise but it didn’t affect my sleep. The walls were thin and I could hear people moving around in the adjoining rooms and rooms above, but again this wasn’t extreme.
I would consider staying here again.

Sally
For the price not brilliant but not bad
For the price bracket I expected a bit more considering breakfast wasn’t included.
I don’t drink tea or coffee and there wasn’t any bottles of water in the room, 2 glasses but no water..
No welcome pack and no timings for breakfast if you decided to have it on the morning like we did.
Beds and bedding were nice and cosy.

Amanda
Pub closed!!!!
Not a great stay due to the pub it is linked with being closed for refurbishment. I do realise these things need doing but not to advise of this when booking is very poor customer service. I booked and after a long deive then had to drive again to find somewhere to eat unless you want a burger. I was even asked to book a cooked breakfast but actually it was a bag with two i stant porridge pots and a bag of alpen. Stayed with this group before and was good but this time extremly poor service.
Steven
This inn is basic and without pretense. It is clean and well maintained. There is a pub across the parking lot called The Mermaid which share employees with the inn. The people here are fanastic, always genuinely smiling and friendly.

Great place for an overnight stay, easy walking distance from the station and Portman Road. I’m a Crystal Palace fan and to get three points on our trip to Ipswich Town made it all worthwhile.

Michael
Great little hotel,
Really good hotel which is on the other side of the car park to the pub.
Very modern looking building.
Rooms were clean and comfortable as was the bathroom. Found it really quiet during the night. Pub is handy. It is a good 25 minute walk from the town centre.

Very comfortable stay only disturbance someone trying to enter my room in error I believe. Spy hole useful as I could see him gain entry to room opposite.
Mandy
Was ok nice room comfy bed but had issues in the restaurant were an order never came as the ticket didn’t go threw to the kitchen , asked for a quiet room before arriving but didn’t get it , no breakfast as were too full …
Lynne
Very comfortable. Only one drawback was, Ipswich were playing at home. So if you take your car out of the car park you have a job parking when you get back until the match as finished. They did warn us that it would happen when we checked in
Marion
Could not fault it, spent first night in 103 found it a bit noisy, near road, so receptionist changed it to 202 which was excellent [I slept until 9.15 the next day

Good stay shame about the breakfast
Stayed for a show in Ipswich, comfy and quiet east check in. Had meal at the mermaid it's a marstons not bad. We went and had breakfast nearly a tenner for the big one and wife had mushrooms and poached egg on toast, seeded bread.
The big breakfast was not big and disappointing, eggs cooked we'll, bacon cold two tiny sausages horrible, beans luke warm black pudding tasteless. But worse was mushroom on toast, two of the smallest poached egg I have seen but was cooked well and runny put on the plate, one piece of normal bread put on other side not what was stated and one over cook small mushroom on other side. I gave her my tomato as I'm not keen and she couldn't eat it as it had a horrible taste. You can help yourself to the continental but very limited choice, cold tea coffee, couple of cerial porridge in a plastic tub you pour water in and toast. Oh and three pastires, shame really, for breakfast find a cafe or wetherspoons yes wetherspoons their breakfast is cheaper and hundred times better, that's saying something.
