Visit to Felixstowe
Overall a good stay. Staff were friendly and efficient . Room was cofortable although the carpet had some threadbare spots. Furniture was very outdated and could do with a refresh. Shower controls were very temperamentle trying to get a consistent temperature. There was not a toilet cleaning brush in the bathroom. The price was reasonable considering these minor faults.

Wouldn’t recommend
Disappointing stay. Lift out of order. Fire alarm at almost midnight. Restaurant could not come up with anything for husband to eat due to allergies. Steaks are pre marinaded and cooking is with rapeseed oil. Menu in the room is not the menu on offer in the restaurant. Jute misleading. No gluten free beer. Shabby appearance. Needs a good refurb

It is a lovely building from outside it looks amazing but the interior does not match the exterior, nothing major, just a little tired and in need of some refurbishment in places, room sizes varied enormously between huge (double suite) and very cramped (twin room).

The hotel is a historical building with attendant charm and features. However, the decor is a little shabby in place and has seen better days.

The hotel itself is lovely and full of character however the room I had was a bit tired, and was in need of renovation. Breakfast tasted good even though they had ran out of orange juice

Never again.
Sadly, this hotel is no longer fit for purpose. Due to ongoing lack of maintenance and care the facilities are shabby to say the least! Rooms have peeling paint (which clung to a sweaty back overnight:( ), heating pipes that are constantly on meaning the room is unbearably hot at night. The bathrooms have ancient amenities, with screws on show everywhere, dirty walls and doors. Very outdated BAMBOO furniture in bedrooms, covered in dust. Some areas downstairs have been kept nice, but these are NOT the story of what lies beneath! In the main dining room tables had very sharp staples on the edges, causing clothing to catch and be damaged. No sign of a tablecloth anywhere. Breakfast was like something from Fawlty Towers. The poor staff running around like headless chickens, unable to keep up with the flow of guests... tables covered in used crockery, bare tables, no welcoming greeting (only one inexperienced lady). Food was poor quality. Coffee like sludge. On providing feedback, the hotel manager was about a much use is a butter teapot. Totally uninterested, I suspect due to having heard it all before! Overall a real shame for what could be a jewel in the Felixstowe crown.

Tiny beds
Nice basic hotel Twin room was half price of a double for some reason so we took a twin. Beds were very small and squeaky. Otherwise nothing much to complain about.

Stains in bedding
Upon arrival we discovered that pillows, bed sheets and duvet all have stains. We immediately informed the manager and it was changed. But no other compensation was given. Don’t stay
