Travelodge Ipswich Capel St Mary

Very nice and clean Excellent service from Sherri and the team she really goes above and beyond to make your stay comfortable

The Travelodge in Capel St. Mary is basic, but clean. It is a peaceful location despite being next to the A12. We were on the ground floor in room 11 on the North East facing side of the building. There is a lot of space in the room so a luggage rack or additional chair to put a bag on would be nicer than grovelling on the floor to get at your suitcase. The garden centre 2 minutes drive away is a lovely place to get breakfast.

A nice 2 day stopover conveniently off the A12, clean & tidy room with helpful staff who assisted with an early check-in. Only downside was the room wasn't tidied on the second day, with no fresh towels or coffee topped up plus no soap in one of the dispensers..

The bed was clean and comfy, and I slept well. The room and bathroom are in need of updating. I was concerned by the lack of security in the evening as the doors to the hotel reception and into the hotel room area were open wide, although there was no one on the reception.

Good travelodge. Clean and tidy, staff friendly and helpful. Good value and service. Free carpark. Only downside is very closely to A12 ,can hear slight rumble of the traffic. Keep the windows closed and it's not a problem.

Room was clean and tidy, but the furniture’s definitely seen better days. One of the chairs was damaged and could really do with sorting. Bathroom light was flickering the whole time which wasn’t ideal. I didn’t bother reporting it as I was only there for the night, but still, you'd expect that to be picked up. No air con, and the room was roasting. Had to sleep with the window open, which wouldn’t have been too bad if it wasn’t right next to a busy dual carriageway. Constant road noise made it hard to get any proper sleep. They did provide a fan, which helped a bit, but it only goes so far. Also worth knowing – no plugs by the bed for charging phones, and the main light switch is by the front door. The switches by the bed only do the little reading lights, so don’t forget to turn everything off before you climb in. The phrase “you get what you pay for” comes to mind, although at £115 a night, that’s a bit steep for what you actually get.
