Premier Inn Ipswich Town Centre (Quayside) hotel

You're walking along the Wet Dock waterfront and spot this Premier Inn tucked right on Key Street, but don't write it off as just another soulless chain stop. The restaurant here punches well above its weight for hotel dining, serving up proper breakfast spreads and evening meals that won't have you reaching for your phone to find somewhere else to eat. The dining room makes the most of those quayside views – you can watch the boats bobbing about while tucking into a full English or their surprisingly decent evening menu. Yes, it's still a Premier Inn at heart, but when you're staying in the town centre or just fancy a reliable meal with a decent view of the marina, it does the job without any fuss or pretension.
