The Mill Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was lovely with some good old character and a real country pub feel about in the bar and terrace area. The staff were very nice & professional at all times and nothing seemed to be a problem for them when asked for or of them. Breakfast was delicious with a good selection & choice apart from Black Pudding (LOL). The only criticisms that I have are, being in room 45, the shower was pretty awkward to use because of where the shower head is mounted and had to position ourselves awkwardly to stand under it, would be better mounted on the wall directly above the taps and some of the room doors on corridors could do with a lick or two of paint, especially the room doors walking through the glass corridor between the rooms and the bar etc. Apart from that, I thought everything else was excellent and would recommend and will definitely stay again when back down visiting my friends, but will use my Blue Light discount next time now that we know this is available, which wasn't advertised at the time of booking."

Holiday Inn Southend by IHG

8/10 Good

"Receptionist very polite and helpful on arrival To our surprise, we were given Welcome packs for our dogs, which we thought was adorable. Room clean, everything worked except the television, but didn’t report/complain as we didn’t particularly want to watch anything. A fair choice of food for Breakfast,all cooked properly Service was good, staff polite. Overall happy with our stay at this particular Holiday Inn."

B&B HOTEL Ipswich

8/10 Good

"Having stayed at the hotel before it changed hands, we decided to return because of its convenient location close to the station. We’re so pleased we did! Our stay was just as enjoyable as before. The staff were all friendly, welcoming, and very helpful throughout our visit. The hotel was clean and well looked after, and the bed was exceptionally comfortable. The only slight downside for me was that I didn’t sleep particularly well because I prefer a firmer pillows. That’s purely a personal preference and certainly not a reflection on the hotel. We did also miss the pool table—it was a nice little extra that we remembered from previous stays! Thank you to all the staff for making our stay such a pleasant one. We look forward to visiting again."

Best Western Ipswich Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My stay was an awesome experience! The service from the staff was very welcoming, attentive, friendly and helpful. The food was first class, and very generous portions! The rooms were a very good size and clean, which made for a comfortable night's sleep. A great place to stay, and will stay again!"
