Holiday Inn Ipswich Orwell by IHG

Was very quiet on a Friday night so thought may not be good. Everything, however was lovely - we had 2 rooms , one was more modern than the other but both clean.

Booked this as needed to be able to go to a workshop and too far to drive. Arrived easily, parking was easy. The check in was very smooth, and I had arrived in time to order food. The food was freshly cooked, staff service was a little slow but the bar was initially quiet. The room was clean and nicely furnished, very comfortable. I had paid for breakfast, there was the usual array of pastries, cereals and fruit. Unfortunately the cooked breakfast was not as good, food was left standing for too long, the scrambled eggs had seen better days, I avoided the cooked breakfast the next day. With the breakfast area being quiet, maybe less wasteful and more appetising would be to consider fresh cooking to order. Everything else was excellent the staff were friendly and helpful

A fantastic hotel. The room was spotless and clean and the staff were very polite and helpful. I would definitely recommend to anyone and would be happy to stay again. I can't fault at all.

Proper hotel with a decent lobby area containing easy chairs. Could not hear the traffic from the nearby A14 which was a nice surprise. The room was a very good size and well equipped with a huge (and comfy) bed, and a generous desk, only quibble being no easy chair (desk chair was top quality though!!). Not everyone wants to sit on the bed to read. Car park bays are shown by different coloured bricks, (no white paint at all) so are invisible in the dark and/or rain, might be an issue when the car park is full. There was a mix up about breakfast but we'll never know if that was a glitch in Expedia's systems or the Hotel's. Staff were super helpful. Anyway - would definitely go again

Beautiful large room, very comfortable, quiet and clean

Restaurant was very cold resulting in people having to take their dinners in a warmer area near reception.

Front reception had excellent staff. Friendly, engaging and helpful. One bar staff was grumpy and rude. Room was clean and as facing away from the A12, quiet. Recommend and will stay again.

Very nice hotel - staff are friendly and very helpful

I like everything about the property but the carpets need to be replaced.

Decent enough. Staff are helpful and welcoming.
