Best Western Htl & Spa- Misrepresentation
The Spa and swimming pool are shut for refurbishment. Was not mentioned on Hotels.com. The restaurant was shut to patrons due to private function. Not mentioned on Hotels.com. Pretty well disgusted with the fact that this is not mentioned on the website.

Best Westerns tend to be older properties with some character thrown in. This is at the side of a main road which is noisy with traffic. Gym facilities listed are old and outdated. Never got to see the leisure facilities (not even sure they’re open). Shame really as I’ve not had disappointing experiences with this hotel chain before.

Needs better signposting upon approach - especially when arriving after dark. Dated rooms - unsightly bathroom shelving - very worn. Carpets worn in places in hallways. Room was clean though, just needs modernising. They are refurbishing the spa/swimming pool, however, feel people booking the hotel for the spa facilities are going to be expecting more modern bedrooms! Arrived tired and was told, despite there being two receptionists available, that we had to check on at the automated booth next to the reception desk. I tried to check in twice - both times booking not found. All the time the reception staff were just standing there. Would have been quicker to just check us in themselves! One staff member then tried the booth on my behalf - again; failed. Eventually, after about 15 minutes, they relented and booked us in the human way. Hoorah!!! Staff seemed stressed and embarrassed by the failing automated system. Staff were friendly. An okay hotel, especially if like us you just needed a base for the night.

The hotel is being refurbished but don't let that out you off. The rooms are spacious with decent bath and shower facilities. The staff are top notch, couldn't be any more friendly or helpful. Decent buffet breakfast too! Once the spa facilities are open again this would be my first pic everytime on a visit to Ipswich.

Awful hotel and awful service from hotels.com
Awful place. Barely any staff covering reception, bar, dining room. Staff were however doing their best. Requested ground floor room and didn’t get it. Room was so hot it was unbearable and windows could barely be opened. Very sad overgrown beer garden. Dark and drab inside the hotel that could do with a really good clean. Pool and spa were closed which was main treason for booking here. Hotel agreed refund as we checked out after 1 of 4 nights (made sure I had written proof). Hotels.com service has been abhorrent.

Needs refurbishing, very dated. Windows need replacing as you can’t open them to get fresh air, also the secondary glazing was full of condensation in the mornings. The whole hotel smelt of cigarette smoke. On the plus side it was in a convenient place for our travels.
