As per usual enjoyed our stay and the staff are always extremely friendly and helpful.
Pros:

Room, Breakfast, bed, checkout time. Ibis is value for money

Cons:

Shower cubicle is small so sliding shower head on a rail would be much better. Novotel has good showers but of course there rooms are much dearer.
