Cannot fault this hotel or the staff in any way! Exceptionally clean, friendly staff, decent food and extremely affordable. The toiletries were of a decent variety and lovely too. After reading some rather horrifying reviews, I found myself looking for such faults. However, i didnt find a single one. Will certainly return and use the hotel again if travelling in this area.

I booked an executive double room but it was identical to the standard double room I had at the Dragonfly hotel in Ipswich the previous night. It wasn’t an executive room. The room is reasonably comfortable but when I have booked an executive room in the past it has more room and bigger desk etc.

Not the best place to find.
It was fine, although not the best place to find if you don't know the area and it's dark. We missed the turning off the slip road and then couldn't turn around as we were on to a dual carriage way with no immediate roundabouts. It took us at least 15 miles out of our way. There needs to be a sign or make reference to what signs are there. The other points to make are no mention was made about having to register for parking, or offer of a WiFi password.

Overall very good value for money
Staff were helpful and friendly. The room was comfortable. The cooked breakfast could have been better and also the coffee but overall very good value for money. My only gripe was the internet access which you can only access by filling in a form with a lot of personal details that you must agree can be used by others for marketing. There was no opt out option. So I decided to do without. I feel that internet access should not come with added price/conditions.

No main light in the room - only had lights in the bathroom & 2 small bedside lights so the room was really dark. There should have been a light above the mirror in the room but this didn’t work. Main shower in the bathroom also didn’t work - had to use the smaller shower head. Walls were paper thin - could hear someone in a neighbouring room snoring and then what sounded like choking & making the strangest noise all night which wasn’t very pleasant. Plenty of towels & breakfast included which was nice.
