Pros:

Location and value was well worth it and beds were comfortable.Staff were friendly.Good room for family's or individuals.Will definitely book again.But parking should be free as it was free the first time we stayed there.

Cons:

Charging a fee for parking.Which doesn't have boom gates and anyone can park there.It was free when we stayed the first time.

Adequate for a quick overnight stay.
Pros:

It has option of 2 beds and we were only there to sleep the night,

Cons:

Pillows were really hard and i had trouble sleeping, but ill bring my own next time i travel. Price could be better given the room was a mere 11sqm and you couldn't comfortably have anymore than 2 ppl in the space. Other Ibis budget hotels I've stayed, have been much better value and more roomy, this was too tight on space and I probably would pay more and go elsewhere next time.

Pros:

The only thing I like about the place is I can park there

Cons:

About the property I don't like it smells of smoke most the time upstairs and down the back be safe. No it's not people are always leave their exits open and we open it. Can walk in any time a day or night. I think if building should have a paid security guard there and be very careful of what security guard you put there but could make it worse not better and get rid of the drug somehow out of the place and around the place
