We really enjoyed our stay here
Lovely staff, nice room (we were over the road) and lovely bar area.
Grateful that we were able to leave our bags at reception to allow us to make the most of the day.
Room was clean and redresged daily. Breakfast was excellent as was food in evening. Staff including cleaners were all polite and helpful. Location from decking overlooks prom and beach. Overall a great place to stay
I've stayed here a few times now over the last couple of years and , because of my disability, occasionally have to request certain things. This is why the staff , including the cleaners, get a special mention as they go above and beyond the call of duty and are multi talented especially the lovely Lisa who if isn't management or supervisory staff should be by now. Reasonable prices for food and drink - keep an eye out for the 2 for 1 cocktails - and being right on the seafront has amazing views from the terrace with plenty of seating. One little minus is The Hatfield Lodge could do with a little love on the outside due to the ripped canopy above the entrance.
We were only there for 2 nights, but we had a lovely stay in the Lodge, customer service was excellent from front desk, bar staff to the waitress.
Would definitely come and stay again

Staff were lovely, room was very clean and we much appreciated the 3 mugs as we normally have to ask. My only criticism was the bed wasn’t very comfortable.

Everything as expected. Room was clean and comfortable.
Room nice and big in The Lodge. Good choice of breakfast from the menu albeit mushrooms maybe should be included and not a paid for extra. Staff always on it and friendly and helpful. Meal menu has plenty of choice with large portions (try the chicken gyros) plenty of cocktails and and good choice of ales/beers. Plenty of seating inside and out I always stay here when visiting Lowestoft. One of the big draws is the amazing view from the bar/terrace areas. Excellent

Unless you're on a strict budget & accept low standards - Avoid! The main building itself is nicely located (in a seemingly depressed seaside town) with a clean & spacious bar & dining area overlooking the Esplanade. The breakfast was perfectly decent! However, the room in the building ("Lodge") across the road was sub-par (like most UK budget hotels) but I don't think you'd find it anywhere this bad in a Best Western in the U.S.: No AC & west-facing, no room-darkening blinds/curtains (the light poured in from the sides), the mattress was a box of hard springs that you could feel & the lowest rent flat-pack furniture (IKEA would be a big upgrade), walls and tiles chipped and mouldy, flusher barely working. It's incomprehensible that the company - the brand - and the owner (franchisee?) has such low standards for service and their customers!
A few minor gripes which would of made the stay more comfortable;
No fan in the room with the temperature in the 30's, other guests did have one when I asked.
No plug socket near the bed, the nearest usable one being on the far wall.
No hot water in the bathroom sink, shower okay.
No toilet brush?????
