Visiting family.
Budget is certainly the word here. There was no hand soap for the sink and not even a teaspoon, you had to stir your coffee with a stick. Coffee cups were supplied but no glasses for water etc. The room seemed clean at first but there was dust all over the floor and what looked like drink stains and hair up the walls. The bathroom was clean, and the shower was hot and plenty of pressure. Air conditioner was fine for heating/cooling. We could not adjust the volume for the TV which was very annoying. The bed was clean and comfortable but that's where it ends. Every door in the place including the bathroom door squeaked loudly. All night you could hear doors from everywhere squeaking when people used them. All night people were in and out making loud noises in the corridors, yelling, laughing outside our door. We stayed for 2 nights and did not get any sleep. There are permanents staying at this hotel and I did not feel safe going in and out especially at night. There is a swipe key for entry in the front door, however the fire door at the other end of the hotel is open constantly, so where is the security?? Even at a budget price this place is not value for money. You get no accessories in your room, and you do not feel comfortable or safe! I would not recommend this place and intend to stay clear of it in the future.

The ‘regular rubbish’ area was over flowing with bags of rubbish. The staff wasn’t very talkative and I was quite turned off by this. An elder gentleman who checked in before me card wouldn’t work on the door to his room, he came back to reception and the lady rolled her. Eyes, it’s not hard to smile, smiles are free so is kindness.

A Poor Experience at the Ibis Newcastle NSW
After alot of trouble with the rate quoted and charged and after complaining to the CEO I received a small refund and was told to book directly with ACCOR which was not available. I appreciated Hotel.com did the right thing & gave me the difference. I told everyone including the front desk as we were booking I am a regular patient at the local hospital and normally drive back and forth but this time had 2 appts back to back. I live in a rural community. However, when we checked in I specifically asked for a quiet room not facing the busy main road. We got a corner room facing the busy road and it was noisy all night. I'm sure the hotel was not full.

Friendly and accommodating staff. All I wanted was a room to sleep in and have a shower and this was perfect for that.

Both afternoon and next morning front office personnel were great. They were helpful and friendly. The option of having breakfast was great and the microwave facilities were a bonus. Thank you.

2/10 Poor

Absolutely absurd - $89 for the room. Filthpit
Honestly one of the worst stays i have had to endure.from the pokie room to the caravan type shower and toilet, the worst. Ibis offer tea and coffee however no cups or spoons. I used the end of my toothbrush to stir my cuppa. Pillows were flat and very much used and abused. Toilet roll holders a thing of the past supposedly. The toilet paper just sitting in the cavity. The basin thats situated beside the bed doesnt drain due to hair and who knows what else was absolutely disgusting. Little to no sleep due to the bedding and hearing the neighbouring suite defecating in their toilet. I would request a refund if someone would answer the phone.

Parking was a problem as people with trailers took up 5 car spots each. Also right near highway so noise was an issue.
