3
Multiple reviews mention stained carpets (including what appeared to be blood-like stains), yellowed mattress topper, dirty carpet and bad smells; cleanliness is a clear weakness.
Service
9
Several reviewers note helpful and responsive reception/staff who assisted with room changes and were friendly; service is consistently praised despite other issues.

Location described as secure with good parking and convenient for business users; negatives include split building layout (rooms across car park) and some noise from the car park/lower rooms.
Room Quality
4
Rooms described as dated/shabby with stains, unpleasant smells, dark lighting, some plumbing/toilet issues and uncomfortable beds—room quality is below expectation.

Pros:

Staff were lovely helpful and knowledgeable
Rooms were clean..Breakfast was good and reasonably priced

Cons:

Stairwell landing and stairs needed power washing and painting also the foliage in the grounds needed cutting back to give the place a more light and airy feel.. unfortunately the location is terrible no decent restaurants/ pubs nearby..signage needs improving from the main rd and at the hotel

Not What I Expect From Ibis
Pros:

Leaving.

Cons:

A sad, tired property - very much 1970's. The delightful single employee was receptionist, barman, cook and waiter. Bar restaurant had zero atmosphere. Motel rooms dingy.

Se se procura uma estadia pelos mínimos, cumpre... mas desilude muito.
Pros:

De nada... Não encontrei pontos positivos conforme indicado noa comentários, não cumpriu em nada com os requisitos mínimos de conforto.

Cons:

O alojamento deixa bastante a desejar: sujidade e desconforto térmico geral, más condições dos espaços com muitos barulhos associados - impossível descansar confortavelmente. Longe de tudo, é preciso muita sorte para se conseguir um Uber/Bolt ou outro serviço (muitos rejeitavam após perceber a localização). Limpeza dos quartos, falta de cuidado geral com a manutenção (teias de aranha, materiais degradados), a limpeza do quarto não era feita e, quando realizada, deixaram-nos a porta aberta o dia inteiro e não trocaram as toalhas que deixamos no chão para o efeito.

Disappointing.
Pros:

Location. An staff very friendly.

Cons:

Cleanliness of rooms was terrible. Flys and moths. Carpets terribly worn. Outside areas paint flaking away. It was like stepping back into the 80s.
Not impressed at all. Sorry ibis but you must redo the rooms competely. This is beyond patching up.

Convenient stopover but I think there are better Ibis hotels
Pros:

Functional and comfortable, friendly reception staff. Good breakfast.

Cons:

Difficult to find - could be signposted from the nearest roundabout. Very strange access, and the property looked dark and foreboding, although fine once you were in your room. I’d be unlikely to stay here again
