I have stayed at a number of Ibis Budgets not only here but overseas as well. I must say that this particular property has to be the worst one concerning condition. It really is overdue to be renovated. There was no soap in my room so I asked the front desk for some. Unfortunately they had run out of soap with the staff member stating that they had been having problems receiving deliveries lately. That meant I had to go out and buy my own soap. Not a huge deal but not something I had expected to do. Also the TV remote did not work. Whether the batteries were flat, it was just broken or because it was a generic brand remote or not the same brand as the TV I don't know. I would like to mention one other point and that concerns the emergency exits. In my 2 night stay at the property the 2 closest exit doors to my room were constantly being held open by large rocks etc. I kept moving whatever was holding them open and closing the doors as it poses a security risk to the guests and their possessions. This needs to be rectified. The best part of my stay was the staff. All the staff that I had interactions with were friendly and helpful. One reason I stay at Ibis Budget properties is that I know what to expect each and every time. Unfortunately this one was a let down. Would I stay here again? Most likely but, only after it has been refitted and freshened up. Until that happens it is a big NO.

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.

Husband booked us a room without reading reviews first, bless him. While everything in our room was tidy & in it's place, several design aspects/furnishings were either outdated, a little challenging, minimal or altogether absent. I did us a favor by taking a few items to compensate if needed, after reading previous reviews, eg. quilt (no spare blankets in room and heater barely working), extension cord for hubby's CPAP as power points were located further away & thankfully, our own pillows (their pillows were awful). The bathroom could best be described as a closet-sized demountable-like cavity, with nothing between shower & toilet to contain the water & that's after one manages to accomplish the 30cm (at least) step up with no grab bar to assist for safety. Not the easiest for older guests or, having to wear a moon boot like I had to at the time. Very cramped toilet area. Lint/fluff collected in nooks/edges, only 3x hangers on a wall peg for clothes, a plastic cube for a chair, no hand towel or soap for handwashing - just an all-in-one pump bottle stuck to shower wall. Pics shown on website did not correlate to our reality. Located at very busy intersection ~ prepare for traffic noise 24/7. Fortunately, we only needed one night's accommodation and perhaps we were expecting a more user-friendly layout, including what I thought were considered to be standard comforts/items - perhaps this is what $90 looks like. NB - I can not speak of the other rooms on offer.

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.
