Booking into the property at 4pm and the room was still being cleaned. Room 305 the “keys” that were delivered did not work on the door, had to go down and fix. Bedroom 1 had no bulb in bedside table, one small watt roof light not sufficient lighting. Aircon had a remote that didn’t work. Three air cons on balcony 1 for our room not sure what rooms they were working but we’re going strongly and some were noisy and we’re going all night. I had booked to rooms 305 and 410. 410 the oven door would not close and had to have a foot pushing it to warm up dinner. Dishwasher top draw broken. We applied a fix. Once working it blew the fuse so we turned it off. These items were major OH&S issues. Area around the car park was very messy. We would choose not to stay in future.

Ibis want to charge for use of the carpark in the motel complex, this is not an inner city motel it is suburban. I cannot help but wonder if the provision of parking for guests was a condition of planning approval for their build and if so why is it seen as a justifiable extra

If you understand this is a budget motel then it’s a great place. You get a clean bed, integrated shower and toilet pod, tv and hot drink facility. It’s perfectly fine.

Overall, the stay was fine, but the cleanliness of the room and toilet was disappointing. It would have been much more comfortable if the washroom hadn’t been stinking when we checked in. Additionally, we found hairs on the kids’ bed sheet, and there was a noticeable amount of dust under the coat. My first stay at this hotel was a good experience, which is why I chose to return but unfortunately, this time didn’t meet the same standard.

Good position, quiet, no outside noise, bed was comfortable, was suitable as we only needed a place to sleep. wasn't happy to pay for parking when not guaranteed to have a place. Wasn't told to after booking and paying, there was a parking fee but for the price we paid it was ok, just an add expense., Wall flushing was coming away from part of the wall. Only 1 light was working. tea & coffee provided but no milk. stayed for two nights, on the second are keycard would not work, staff replaced. Safety concerns as the fire door was open the whole time, allowing uncontrolled access to the building.

Unfortunately the website to reply our estimated arrival didn't work, so we came well after check in time and no one was at the reception desk. We couldnt find a bell or anything so we waited patiently for maybe 10minutes when someone greeted us. The main reason for the score was the room was extremely humid and uncomfortable when we got there, so we flicked the air con full fan, low temp, and left for our event. We returned after hours, 8 or so hours later and the room was no cooler. We turned the AC as low as it could go and struggled to sleep. It took another 4hours until the room felt cool and comfortable and at this stage it was about 4am. We were going to pass on the feedback to concierge on check-out, however no one was there when we left. Wasnt expecting much for a budget stay, but expected efficient air conditioning.
