Overall the hotel was very nice, the only let down was something outside of it's control in that there were a few people doing loud wheelspins etc on the road outside which made it hard to sleep. Other than that, service was lovely, breakfast was great with a really good selection available. Parking spaces were small, but I'd say that was to be expected.

As our first time being in the area, we chose BB Ipswitch Hotel as it was close to the train station, and we were very happy with our three night stay there. The staff were all friendly and helpful, the room was cozy and the shower was really nice, good water pressure and had the option for a rain fall showerhead as well. The food was phenomenal, we didn’t bother to look anywhere else for supper out as they had nightly specials as well as their regular menu. We had the sea bass, pork tenderloin and briskets specials, they were all excellent. The breakfast buffet was the best we’d had anywhere. A ton of options and was immediately replenished so always lots to have. We had no issues with parking right in the courtyard of the hotel, although the alternate parking was just a short walk from the hotel if we needed. Definitely recommend this hotel and staff, excellent value for money!

Booked at last minute but so much better than we first thought, rooms were immaculate, clean and with perfect air conditioning. Managed to get a parking space but it’s worth noting the car park is small and £10 a night. Booking breakfast in advance was worth it and good range of options, only criticism would be the orange juice was not actual orange juice but a very minor point. Would definitely recommend.
