Independent - accommodation in Stowmarket

Really great room Lovely pool Breakfast good but would’ve liked a choice of eggs Now the negative why oh why do hotel guests have to pay for parking? It’s a big car park and isn’t near city centre or anywhere that would make lots of non residents want to park there. If you’re using the pool or leisure facilities then you’re able to park for free but hotel guests are charged £8 per night. I have researched lots of other Marriott hotels across the country and even some of the city centre ones offer free parking to their guests. I think it’s a very poor decision to charge your hotel guests to park.

Took my partner away here we stayed here for 2 nights. On arrival staff was very welcoming and helpful. Parking here is expensive but if you park on Compair crescent which is near (5 min walk) by it’s a lot cheaper saved myself £15.00. Convience stores are very near for your essentials. 1 Lifts was working on day we arrived and other was out of order. Then the other lift went down so had to use stairs in end for rest of our stay,which was ok but on departure we had to carry everything up and down stairs as had to make 2 journeys to room to get our belongings. Breakfast would been better if food was kept warmer as was only very luke warm when we had breakfast. Was very happy they provided soya milk so thank you . Didn’t buy any food or drink at the hotel but as thought prices was too high priced. Would stay here again to see if anything my comments has been listened too. But was a good stay apart from my negatives. Good bus routes into town and railway 5 min away so good location.

In need of a face lift! Dated and tired, but clean and presentable. It just felt it had seen better times and desperately needed some love and some cash. Car park is scruffy, and unmaintained. Food is acceptable and the coffee is ok. WiFi not the best, but the bed was comfy.
