The location worked fine for visiting family.

I was annoyed we couldn't shower because the hot water was completely out. The staff had NO solutions that satisfied me. I will contact Ibis directly to complain further.

The room had a good size. A huge television was there. Beds were comfortable for sleeping well.

Excellent Stay at a Convenient Location

friendly staff spacious room convenient location

The staff members were very friendly and super helpful, assisting with every request. The room was spacious and clean, situated near the entrance. I could see my car from the window, which gave me additional peace of mind.

The corridors had a slightly musty smell, and they were dimly lit.

a sweet escape!

lovely light generous size quiet atmosphere

My room had such lovely light and felt generously sized with convenient phone-charging sockets. i found the heating very easy to adjust. the quiet atmosphere helped ensure a restful night's sleep. It was pure bliss. the hotel's proximity to the a1 motorway also made traveling simpler.

The pillows seemed to retain a faint smell of old sweat. This detracted from the otherwise pristine experience. upon mentioning it, i felt the response was a little dismissive.
