Great Hotel

Great location close to railway station. Staff all really helpful but reception was slow with there always being a queue. Only issue I had was with noisy guests returning from a night out and shouting at each other in the car park.

Comfortable bed, quiet during the night and helpful staff. Nice bar/lounge area. The coffee served at breakfast was so weak I didn't drink it and one of the mugs in the room was a bit dirty. Despite that, I'd stay there again.

Business trip

Fourth time i have stopped at this hotel and all good, and will stop again. 5 mins into town centre, 3 mins to the train station and 10 mins to Portman Road. Bar is well stocked, only thing is car park is small so be prepared to park somewhere else if arriving late.

The bathroom floods when the shower is used as the water wasn’t draining quickly enough and the floor was level with no lip to stop the water. The freight trains are loud through the night but worse were the other guests slamming doors and raised voices in the corridors. Corridors could do with a paint as they were badly bashed making it look tatty. The breakfast however was good for £10 and the room was clean with good linens and towels.

Great hotel with amazing breakfast

Great location very near the station, not far from the town centre and close to the football ground. Big hotel, welcoming friendly staff. Nice room. Spacious and clean. Very nice bathroom. The bed was fairly comfortable, not great but above average, not too bad. Amazing continental breakfast. Overall, decent value.
