The hotel is in need of an upgrade both with the room decor and bathroom fittings. The overall appearance is tired and shabby, and the room was very cold. No central heating but we were given a fan heater! Very noisy and no temperature control, so an unpleasant heat. Although there is a caution warning about the hot water, it is instantly scalding and the hot and cold taps are the opposite way round to normal, so beware. On a positive note, the bed was comfortable and the bedding clean

This was just about the worst hotel room I’ve ever stayed in. Terrible damp smell, no working heating, stains on the towels, leaking shower, loose toilet seat, extra bed not made up despite knowing it would be needed, creaky bed frames, terrible decor condition, towel rail falling off the wall, and other things. I would never stay here again.

We had 3 family rooms in The Lodge for 2 nights . The beds/sheets/towels were clean and comfortable And the hospitality tray was well stocked but the rooms / bathrooms look neglected and dated and definitely need upgrading . The nets (?) at the windows were dirty and should be removed or replaced . The breakfast buffet was adequate but not impressive .The staff were kind . Don’t think we will be staying again .🙁

Avoid im summer!

Hotel was ok on the whole although it clearly is in need of updating. Breakfast was nice, lovely pastries. Room was adequate but mattress was a bit lumpy. However, the worst was the lack of air conditioning as the heat in the room made sleeping very difficult.

It’s a room with a bed.

Massive bed. Narrow bath/shower made it a bit of a balancing act whilst showering.

Great for getting into Ipswich but the room was stifling. No aircon meant the room was super hot. The bed was tiny and the shower was rubbish so small I had to stand sideways in the bath . The staff we met were really nice but yeah the rooms need an upgrade.

Family room booking

We stayed in a family room with 1 double bed and 2 singles, which was the size of two rbedooms with a bathroom in the middle between. The room itself was quite spacious but warm. Lovely in the winter I'd guess but not so much in the summer! The beds weren't the most comfortable but were okay. The service in the hotel was the main perk, all the staff we met were lovely and helpful. The bar prices weren't at all bad either!
