"Lovely little hotel. Got a parking space straight away, a warm welcome, and the room was lovely and clean. Nice shower with lovely smelling body wash. Breakfast is available for an extra charge and there's a bar downstairs which serves evening meals. If all rooms had slow closing doors, I'd give an extra star. Was kept awake because of late night arrivers slamming doors. Be aware that the car park is open to anyone therefore spaces aren't guaranteed. Would stay in an IBIS again."

8/10 Good
"Our 2nd time visiting this hotel this year and we were left a little disappointed compared to last time. Some changes have been made in 3months. We used the pool area facilities this time round and the changing room area wasn't the cleanest, tissue on the floor, no locks on the doors so anyone could walk in and overall just needs a good clean and maintained better The onsite restaurant was also not the best, empty but waited for 45 mins for a burger and a lamb dish for the lamb to arrive luke warm with cold microwaved mash and green beans, not the dauphinmois potato that was adverse. Partner said the burger was good though. Room itself was fine, no robes this time and only 1 can of water and 1 towel for 2people, feels as if pillows had changed too and were extremely soft that it felt like you were sleeping directly on the mattress so not the best night sleep."
