Mermaid, Ipswich by Marston's Inns

10/10 Excellent

"Great stopover, the hallway was quite noisy especially in the morning with doors banging, but that was more to do with other guests then the hotel. Also the rooms overlooking Yarmouth Road, had quite alot of traffic noise, so would recommend sleeping with the Air con on or requesting a room on the other side of the complex"
