OK for one night

The reception staff were friendly and welcoming. The room was very tired and extremely warm. Believe it was overpriced for what it is but was fine for the night.

Great stay at the Ibis style. The room was so hot they provided a fan. Only one negative thing was that there was an extract fan from the restaurant that was very noisy.
