The hotel is OK, it's owned by a cost cutting company. It has no character, it's purely functional. It is clean, the people working there are doing their best. The breakfast offering is appalling, just the cheapest, nastiest food substitutes, scrambled egg out of a pre-made bag and cheap nasty bread.

Warm & friendly welcome!
We had a really warm, friendly welcome from the lady at the reception desk when we arrived. Our room was comfortable & clean. The rooms are big. There's not a hug amount if furniture in the rooms but it exactly as pictures show and funtional. The bar area was nice, very quiet but didn't bother us. We had a few games of Pool which was an unexpected nice touch. This hotel was everything I would expect for the money, if not more. Great location to walk to the Marina where we gad a lovely meal at the Bistro on the Quay!

The perfect stay
Super super clean, helpful recycling facilities, comfortable room, thoughtful touches, modern bathroom. Really really happy - exceptionally good value for money, excellent customer service with the personal touch. Will definitely return. Excellent base from which to explore nearby Suffolk coast. Great position a very short walk (under 5 mins) from Ipswich waterfront/marina.
