Hotels near Ipswich Waterfront

"I used to stay regularly some 4 years ago but now it’s gone downhill. Parking is charged for, breakfast is extra, bathroom amenities are cheap, no dressing gowns in rooms, quality of bar food has gone down and the atmosphere is missing. We were in 202 and got woken in the night by door slamming (several times) and noise of plant/machinery when it was open, the ground floor public/bar gents did not have a functioning locking mechanism. Comfortable bed, good staff but really not top quality anymore which for that price in Ipswich, it should be."

"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."

"Overall satisfactory. Delicious breakfast and location is good. Near to retail park with plenty redtaurants"

"Easy parking and helpful staff."

"It's clean and cheap, perfectly good for a one-night stay. Tiny room with barely enough room to walk around the bed. Funky hooks but no real storage. I've stayed here a couple of times before and I know what to expect. My main gripe on this occasion was how an overnight fire alarm was dealt with. We all traipsed downstairs when the alarm went off, the member of staff on duty told us it was ok, we could all go back to bed but the alarm might go off again. He explained that there was someone live streaming themself "messing around with fire" in their room. Security were in the process of tracking them down and chucking them out. I have no idea what kind of "messing around with fire" we're talking about here, but to me that is not a circumstance in which guests should be sent back to bed and encouraged to ignore the alarm."
