Overall, a comfortable stay.

Overall the stay was good, very comfortable bed, very little noise inside the hotel, could hear some road noise though, breakfast okay. Only downside this visit was an unpleasant drain smell from bathroom (not noticeable with door closed).

Comfortable hotel, on the outskirts of Bury St Edmunds. We knew about the building works in the grounds up front, not an issue. The room was hot as the radiator would not turn right off. The shower was very poor, hot enough but lacked flow! On the up side the bed was comfy and the hotel rooms quiet.

Pleasant stay

Although the hotel was undergoing building work to increase capacity there was no intrusion from mess or noise. The only downside was the noise from the A14 trunk road which runs close by, as due to unseasonal hot weather required the window needing wide opening for ventilation. Breakfast was ample with variety of choice. Requires a tidy up of the car parking area as it would appear that the builders are using it as well and leaving a lot of rubbish behind.

Overpriced. Nice staff. Warm and quiet hotel. Very tired and characterless building. Public areas poor. Bathroom was good but bedroom very basic and uninviting. Convenient location for main road access.

An average motel, with a young team in the afternoon evening, and two lovely ladies on the breakfast crew. Evening meal was good, breakfast OK, but self service. The room was a little too dark to work comfortably, but plenty of sockets and a big screen TV - and good shower with quality towels. The corridor between reception and stairs to rooms was in the process of renovation (?), which looked a little scruffy (and therefore out of character). The table at which I had my evening meal wasn't very clean. Good car-parking facility and a smart looking property - but a little too expensive for a three-star (in my opinion). Very convenient location, a short distance from the A14 junction, though if you like to sleep with a window open some people might find the road noise irritating (I slept very well, comfortable bed!)

A overnight stay to visit Bury St Edmunds

We staid a night to visit Bury St Edmunds. It is convenient but about a 20 minute walk. The staff were friendly. However, we only had 3 pillows and asked for a fourth as they were fairly thin. We were told they would send one, but it never arrived. The breakfast was very basic, although cooked. There weren’t any side plates for toast and the table sticky. Some of this may have been as the hotel appeared to have low occupancy.

Comfortable stay

Very clean room, lovely comfortable bed, helpful staff. Hotel was quiet, some low-level background noise from nearby roads but got a good sleep. Corridors and public areas a bit worn but there is refurbishment ongoing. Good breakfast. Plenty of parking.

Comfortable beds, poor breakfast

The room was nice and the bed was comfortable. The main downside we had was the breakfast when we went down there wasn't much of a selection and what they did have was cold or had been out for a while. Overall the room is worth the price but the breakfast isn't.

This is more about Expedia than the Hotel. Only filling this in because they insist on keep sending it to me, this was never booked by me, it was an error on Expedias system which they took my money for and will not give back. Poor hotel had nothing to do with it!!
