The staff are always helpful and friendly whenever we stay at this hotel, which is one reasons we stay here when in Ipswich. The rooms are adequately furnished and always clean and fresh. The breakfast is plentiful and the staff in the dining room keep it clean, tables are cleared and re-set quickly. Although it is just off the A14 it is a quiet location with good parking.

The room was clean and tidy Staff were brilliant. We had our granddaughter with us, they made a big fuss of her, even gave her the VIK wrist band for extras on drinks. Breakfast was very good, cereals to English breakfast... We came in our EV car, and they have fast chargers on site, reasonable price also..very handy..

This Holiday Inn provided a clean and spacious room with a comfortable bed. Just what we needed and at an affordable price. The shower was excellent. Breakfast was tasty (excellent croissants! But those horrible scrambled eggs?!). Dinner was disappointing. We ordered at about 7.20pm and waited over 45 mins for our food; something was wrong in the kitchen! So overall a good stay, but we won't dine there again.
