premier Inn pulled through
Pros:

Great Stay, Graham on reception helped me so much, food choices, where to avoid, where to go, coming from Bermondsey, I needed reassurance, Graham gave that.

The room was great, everything worked for travel I couldn't plan at late notice.

My job is shifting, so does Prem but prices hike Tuesday to Thursday, guess that's the way they roll, be smart about booking.

Dirty & outdated hotel, with bad breakfast
Pros:

Awful smell in the corridor as you go to your room. The room was dirty and outdated. Coffee stains on the skirting board and an inch layer of dust. Bath panel peeling from heat. Towels were threadbare and the bedside table was falling apart. The breakfast at the Brewer's Fayre next door was dire too. Black pudding that you could have used as a hockey puck, and all the food was barely lukewarm. Toasters that take a month to warm up. Certainly not worth the price. There are better places to stay in the area.

Potential but didn’t quite deliver
Pros:

I arrived at just after midnight to be greeted by a rather tired receptionist who then swore at the person who arrived after me. I was too tired to comment.
Checked in and went to room; greeted by a rather unpleasant smell which I later discovered was coming from the bathroom. Too tired to complain after a 7 hour drive I shut the bathroom door; tried to open a window but found the windows sealed.
Room itself was more than adequate and bed was comfortable. A lot of potential but didn’t quite deliver. Pity.
Would give it another try however.

A surprisingly very good Stay at Premier Inn.
Pros:

I really didn't expect such a good stay at these massive chains for hotels, but from booking, to reception greeting and stay, the staff, room and facilities were all very good and to a high standard.

Definitely use again.

The hotel was ideally located for our planned activities including Beach Days!

Probably the best option for a short stay
Pros:

An ergonomically designed room which met all my needs and a comfortable bed. The room was very clean with excellent decor and carpet. There was safe parking for my car with numerous blue badge spaces which was helpful. Inability to connect WiFi.

Overnight stay Ipswich south east Premier Inn
Pros:

Room was clean tidy and the bed and pillows were extremely comfortable. Easy to find once came off A14 and easy to get back on to A14 and into Ipswich. Wasnt impressed with the Swallowpub however. Unable to get a warm drink when I got back at 8.00 - machines switched off. As I had people with me that was a nuisance.
