The hotel is being refurbished but don't let that out you off. The rooms are spacious with decent bath and shower facilities. The staff are top notch, couldn't be any more friendly or helpful. Decent buffet breakfast too! Once the spa facilities are open again this would be my first pic everytime on a visit to Ipswich.

Awful hotel and awful service from hotels.com
Awful place. Barely any staff covering reception, bar, dining room. Staff were however doing their best. Requested ground floor room and didn’t get it. Room was so hot it was unbearable and windows could barely be opened. Very sad overgrown beer garden. Dark and drab inside the hotel that could do with a really good clean. Pool and spa were closed which was main treason for booking here. Hotel agreed refund as we checked out after 1 of 4 nights (made sure I had written proof). Hotels.com service has been abhorrent.

Needs refurbishing, very dated. Windows need replacing as you can’t open them to get fresh air, also the secondary glazing was full of condensation in the mornings. The whole hotel smelt of cigarette smoke. On the plus side it was in a convenient place for our travels.

Very disappointing customer service & tired rooms
“The hotel is undergoing refurbishment” says the sign on the door to reception - don’t worry, it’ll look great when it’s finished.” Clearly in need of the above, the hotel is extremely tired looking throughout, particularly around the back where we had to park as there was no spaces in the main car park. I booked this room for my parents (both in their 70’s) as they were spending the weekend with us. When they checked into their room, it was extremely warm with no air conditioning, just a fan and a threadbare in parts carpet. The bathroom was equally tired and the sink top heavily stained. The TV in their room did not work and although they were told someone would come to help, they didn’t. I emailed the hotel staff the next day, disappointed by hearing the above, and was also promised someone would get back to me - nearly a week later, that’s not happened. Regardless of what any refurbishment work might change at the hotel, there appears to be some more urgent work that just needs to be done in basic customer service skills.

Below average
Two staff trying to hold everything together, they were both lovely. Hotel was dirty, room was boiling hot with one tiny fan that did nothing. Mattress and pillows both lumpy and smelt odd. Had to dance around in the shower to get wet.

Not up to the usual Best Western standard.
I arrived at 21.20 and had to book in by self-service. Although quite elderly, I am computer literate but I am sure that some people would find it difficult. The room was adequate but I had no cold water in the basin taps, only hot out of both! When I reported this to reception the following morning, the only response that I got was "nobody else has reported it". Not impressed. The room, 306, was close to a door that closed very loudly and quite late (after 23.30). There were creaking noises from the floorboards in the room above, also quite late. Breakfast was very good and I left at 07.25 after a rather poor night's sleep. I shall not return.

Lovely large twin room. Pool was out of commission which was very disappointing as one of the main reasons we book this hotel. Had to park at the back of hotel which was a bit scary as no lighting and we were two single females. Bar shut early and the breakfast finished early. Room was clean and was a nice large room. Sadly we will not book this hotel again.
