The hotel offers stylish rooms with beautiful harbor views and excellent amenities. The service is exceptional, exceeding expectations with professional and polite staff. The location is great, overlooking the marina, but might not be ideal for those seeking a quiet stay. The dining experience is good, although slightly pricey. Overall, a luxurious stay with some minor drawbacks on pricing.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious and comfortable, offering a spectacular view of the marina, although they were a bit worn with stained curtains and a torn shower seal. The service was exceptional, with the staff going above and beyond to assist us, from room service to helpful porters. The location overlooking the harbor was stunning, making it the best part of Ipswich for me. The dining experience was a bit hit-or-miss, but overall, it was a memorable stay filled with wonderful moments.

The hotel is situated in a wonderful location right on the yacht harbor with beautiful views. The rooms were nice and clean, but with some challenges like walking into support pillars. The service was top-notch with friendly and accommodating staff. The dining experience was overall good, with freshly cooked hot food but needing slight improvements in some items. The price was fair for the value offered.
