Great place for an overnight stay, easy walking distance from the station and Portman Road. I’m a Crystal Palace fan and to get three points on our trip to Ipswich Town made it all worthwhile.

10/10 Exceptional

This inn is basic and without pretense. It is clean and well maintained. There is a pub across the parking lot called The Mermaid which share employees with the inn. The people here are fanastic, always genuinely smiling and friendly.
Steven, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay. Everyone was friendly. Great pub next door plus Starbucks across street. No complaints.
Dan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Pleasant stay

Reception is in the nearby pub which is separate from the accommodation building. This could have been made clearer (there were some signs on entering the car park, however the next person to check in after me also missed those). I paid £20 for a late check out and originally this was only a 1 hour extension, however the lady on reception advised she could extend this to 2 hours on this occasion. It wasn’t clear when booking the late check out that it wasn’t buying much more time so that could be improved. My room was very spacious and clean, and it had everything I needed (kettle, hairdryer, plenty of hanging space for clothes, decent air conditioning). It was on the road side of the hotel, and there was some road noise but it didn’t affect my sleep. The walls were thin and I could hear people moving around in the adjoining rooms and rooms above, but again this wasn’t extreme. I would consider staying here again.

Smokey Mermaid

Very comfortable. Strong smell of cigarette smoke on entrance lobby at 10 pm and 8 am which wafted up into the corridors.
Mike, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Pub closed!!!!

Not a great stay due to the pub it is linked with being closed for refurbishment. I do realise these things need doing but not to advise of this when booking is very poor customer service. I booked and after a long deive then had to drive again to find somewhere to eat unless you want a burger. I was even asked to book a cooked breakfast but actually it was a bag with two i stant porridge pots and a bag of alpen. Stayed with this group before and was good but this time extremly poor service.
Amanda, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Perfect for catching a chest infection.

Room was damp and musty, heating didn't work to dry the room out, terrible smell, not sure the illegals wod have stayed here for £100 a night. carvery had dried out beer bot good and expensive only stayed 1 night out of the 4, terrible place.
Robert, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very comfortable. Only one drawback was, Ipswich were playing at home. So if you take your car out of the car park you have a job parking when you get back until the match as finished. They did warn us that it would happen when we checked in
Lynne, 2-night trip

John, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

A good choice

Room was quite warm, even with air con on, but overall really nice room. Patking appeared secure enough. Staff were awesome and friendly. Our only complaint was the double ved seemed quite a small double and the matress was really quite uncomfortable but the room overall was lovely.
Marie, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

A área do hotel não é junto com a do bar e restaurante. A recepção do hotel é no restaurante, depois de fazer o check in, o hóspede atravessa o estacionamento e vai para o hotel. Não tem elevador. Os valores da estadia dobraram de domingo para segunda então não estendemos nossa estadia.
