Premier Inn Ipswich Town Centre (Quayside) hotel

The hotel is undergoing refurbishment. The car park under the hotel is closed, but there is an alternative across the road. Check in was very friendly. Our room had been refurbished and was very comfortable. Bathroom clean and bright with double showerhead and soft close toilet lid! Our aircon/ heating wasn't working (whole floor out apparently) , but reception found us a stand alone heater. Hotel location great for quick walk to town centre/ theatre and to quays. Ideal.

Comfy bed and good facilities in a Premier Plus room. However the airconditioning made the room stuffy when warm. Nice bathroom and shower (but toilet lid has to be lowered to reach the flush buttons!).||Good-wifi, extension HDMI socket to plug Firestick etc into the TV.||Breakfast buffet was a bit on the thin side - uninspiring selection of cereals, no fresh cheese or meats, but the cooked breakfast was very good. The usual totally rubbish hotel toasters (why do they use those barely heating Dualit toasters?). A nice practical place to stay when visiting or working in the quayside area. Very noisy and busy traffic outside, being pretty much on a traffic island, but quiet and restful inside (as long as the windows are closed). Friendly, helpul staff (24 hrs). Overall good for a very confortable utitilty stay.

This experience could have been better. I thought I would try one of the premium rooms, but at best I would rate it standard+. The room had a mini fridge, and a waterfall shower. I expected a two person bath that could be made into a jacuzzi. The table was smaller than in the standard rooms, a big spotlight took up a corner and was not needed, and the make-up table was a stool in front of a mirror. I expected bigger rooms, and I would have paid for it. It didn't feel premium at all and I will stick to the standard rooms in future.
