My stay at Travelodge Ipswich Capel St Mary had its ups and downs. While the location was convenient for quick access to the A12, the noise from the road was quite bothersome (definitely a challenge for light sleepers like me). The room itself was clean and comfortable, but a few notable issues, like a ripped shower curtain and limited plug sockets, detracted from the experience. Overall, I appreciated the cleanliness and comfort, but I think I might try a more modern option next time.

During my recent stay at Travelodge Ipswich Capel St Mary, I appreciated the cleanliness of my room and the helpful staff, which really elevated my experience.

My stay at Travelodge Ipswich Capel St Mary was comfortable and offered good value, although the hotel itself is showing signs of age. The rooms were clean and my bed was quite comfy, ensuring a restful night. However, the WiFi was disappointingly slow, and I noticed some noise from the nearby A12. Overall, the welcoming staff and convenient amenities like Starbucks made for a decent experience overall. 😊

My stay at Travelodge Ipswich Capel St Mary was quite the experience. The room was spacious, clean, and surprisingly quiet despite being near the busy A12. The staff, especially Debby and Eleanor, made me feel welcomed with their helpful local tips. However, the initial check-in process was a bit frustrating, as I had to wait for assistance. Overall, it provided good value for a budget hotel, just a few hiccups along the way.

I stayed at Travelodge Ipswich Capel St Mary for three nights while visiting family. The rooms were clean and comfortable, ensuring a decent night’s sleep, though I found the road noise and sounds from guests above quite disruptive. Check-in was seamless, but I was disappointed with the lack of daily housekeeping and the slow, paid Wi-Fi that didn’t meet my needs. Overall, while it was a budget-friendly option, I think I'll explore other accommodations next time. 🚪🛏️
