I usually use HI wherever I can when on a business trip as they provide a certain amount of security and comfort for a lone female traveller. I had stayed at this hotel last year and I had absolutely no complaints at all hence the second visit. This time, it was a little less satisfactory. I had reserved a smoking... More

Well located for the A12 this is the second Holiday inn in Ipswich - and in my opinion the best... the other may well have a pool BUT this one lets you access the excellent facilities on offer at David Lloyd's impressive centre (five minutes walk away!). Rooms are comfortable - as per all Holiday Inn and the staff are... More

My Dad & I stayed the nite. The restarant service was rubbish. The food tasted like it had been pulled out the bin, from one of their pasties! The sound from the kitchen was terrorable, as too was the waitress. Who seemed to be clueless with regards to the menu. On to the room. The room was cleanish but the... More

The hotel was a perfect host for our event - a concert by a world-class bagpipe player attended by about 100 enthusiasts. The arrangements were spot on, the staff helpful and friendly, and our star piper felt welcome and well looked after. The pricing of the public room was extremely reasonable and the whole evening went very smoothly. Thanks very... More

After marrying at this Hotel five years ago (after our original venue went in liquidation) we decided to re-visit for our wedding anniversary - what a mistake. I booked directly with Holiday Inn Reservations a few weeks ago after seeing what I thought was a good deal online. Dinner, bed and breakfast in an Executive room for £90.00. The lady... More

Stayed for 2 nights recently after finding a great rate with superbreaks (£85 for the room, breakfast, and dinner on the first night). Hotel is in the middle of an industrial site, but there is a pub nearby for a change of scenery. Check-in was ok, the receptionist wasn't unpleasant, but not friendly either. In fact this kind of sums... More

One night here to use as a base for some shopping/sightseeing around Ipswitch. Hotel is not in a very glamorous location - surrounded by car showrooms and industrial estates but its only 10 mins drive from Ipswitch centre/Marina. Rooms are a little bit dated but a reasonable size and clean and quiet. We had our stay free courtesy of their... More

My wife and I are regular visitors to Holiday Inn hotels (Priority Club platinum) but having stayed at this hotel recently we could not believe that it is part of the same group.
