Parking is an absolute disaster at this hotel and the fact that guests who stay here have to to pay extra £10 on top of the paying for the hotel Is an absolute joke.

Great stay.

The room, corridors were extremely clean and well looked after. Great service, great security on the door. Very close to Portman Road football stadium if you’re coming for a match or as we were a concert. Literally a five minute walk.
