Like spending a night in a prison cell, definitely would not recommend
Pros:

Absolutely nothing

Cons:

Looked and felt like a prison cell, very filthy, graffiti everywhere, not a welcoming/comfortable looking place. Charged an additional $5 a night for parking which is not stated at all on the listing. Overflow cover on sink broken. Lots of people hanging outside hotel in carpark and entrance. Staff were okay but not friendly. I understand that this accommodation may be a slightly cheaper option compared to other nearby accommodation, but certainly nowhere near value for money. This Ibis is very poor compared to the many other Ibis hotels we have stayed in.

Pros:

The location was good.

Cons:

The location was good, but the bed was really poor quality. It wasn’t flat and had many dips and bumps, so it was very uncomfortable. During the few days I stayed there I could hardly sleep, not only because of the bad mattress but also because there were bed bugs. They kept biting me during the night and my skin became very irritated and blistered.

Was disappointing. 1 person staying in the room is fine but anymore is cramped. Not recommended
Pros:

The location was fine. The beds were comfy. Most of the staff were friendly n polite.

Cons:

I did not expect to have to pay extra to park my car in their carpark. The buffet breakfast was a choice of museli n milo flakes. There was a pancake machine but no instructions on how to use it. The room was basic n cramped with 2 single beds. I discovered on the 2nd night that one of the bed sheets had an eaten piece of chewing gum stuck onto the bed sheet. The room smelt like mould if u didnt leave the window open. The bathroom light flickered on n off like a disco strobe light was going ro the toilet n having a shower was difficult. The toilet n shower was combined 1.5m x 1m n when having a shower water went everywhere. It was very cramped.
