GOOD VALUE
HOTEL WAS NICE AND CONVENIENT. RECEPTION STAFF WERE POLITE AND FRIENDLY. BREAKFAST WASNT INCLUDED IN OUR TARRIFF BUT WERE EXPENSIVE IF YOU BOUGHT IT IN THE RESTAURANT. £15 PER PERSON IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY. YOU ALSO HAVE TO PAY £5 FOR PARKING WHICH WAS A LITTLE CHEEKY REALLY BEARING IN MIND YOUVE ALREADY PAID FOR YOUR STAY. BUT BEWARE THE CARPARK IS QUITE SMALL SO YOU MAY END UP PARKING AWAY FROM THE HOTEL AND WALKING BACK. OVERALL, GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY.
GET BREAKFAST ELSEWHERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO PAY A LOT FOR IT.

Pleasantly surprised
I have stayed here a few times before but the hotel has been refurbished and has a roomy and clean and tidy feel about it. This time I was with my wife and two grandchildren (11 and 9), in a family room. Reception were very welcoming and helpful. Children were clearly welcome too. The room was surprisingly spacious with a Queen bed and comfortable separate twin beds neatly made up from a convertable sofa. There were plenty of towels for all 4 of us, and all the facilties one expects (but dont always find) including Sky TV, coffee/tea, hairdryer, bath and shower etc. Breakfast was superb, either continental or English - or indeed both! - and available until noon (Sat), and I was happy to pay an extra £5 for secure parking, which I used until the early evening of Saturday, hours after checking out. Parking was a problem before they fitted barriers, and I was locked in for hours on a previous visit by a non-resident fly parker. Overall a very nice modern hotel, and I will be using it whenever I come down again.
The hotel is really close to the town centre, which is literally just a 3 minutes walk, and the now attractivly developed docks a similar short walk in the other direction. For me the proximity of Portman Rd FC (5 or 6 minutes walk) is the real benefit.

Good in the area
Friendly Staff; good location -- a couple of minutes from town center, and 10 min walk from train station.
