Just reopening with newly refreshed public areas.
Pub with rooms is under new ownership who are refurbishing so bar etc were all closed when I was there. Room is basic , clean but very tired and needs a refresh relative to this century. Apparently will not do food when open and breakfast unusually is at 8.30 am. I wish good luck to new managers and hope they quickly start work on everything else.

A pub with character, clean, helpful staff, bathroom facilities could do with being updated, new management was taking over, a few teething problems but expected, all ready booked a room for next year and I've recommended it to others.

Good value for money
Really good value for money, Chris was great and really helpful, the pub was nice and cosy and the room was perfect for what we wanted, which was somewhere to sleep and shower as we had plans for the weekend, would definitely stay there again

Liked: Staff & service
The staff were helpful, but it was not until I had parked someway away in a long stay car park did I find out there was parking accessed from the road behind. By then it was too late to move the car. I was asked what breakfast I wanted and spot on time it was at my table and very good it was. The noise from the pub could be heard in the room until mid-night when they closed up. On the day I was there they were not doing meals in the evening.

Earliest breakfast is 8.30am which is unheard of, most people staying at hotels would be on business so having to wait for breakfast at 8.30 earliest really isn't convenient

The Westgate was an ideal place to stay for us in Bury St Edmunds. We were only there for one night to visit the nearby Apex Theatre but we used the extra time to visit the lovely shopping centre which was also within easy walking distance. The Westgate was clean and welcoming. Thanks.

Unusually lovely fluffy large bath towels which actually cover one round even if you're not a size 8! Usually bath towels are so small but these were lovely. Comfortable beds and very clean room. The only grumble Ihave was that despite putting the fact that I am vegan on the booking form, no provision was made - no plant based milk or margarine and no understanding of what a vegan breakfast might be. Although I was given a very nice beans on toast with tomato and mushrooms. Expedia rally should ensure that its providers hav e anunderstanding of vegetarian and vegan diets - it is down to them to provide education on that subject. Not difficult. Take responsibility.
