Negative Reviews
negative:
Too pricey for some guests
While many people associate the ibis brand with budget-friendly stays, a fair number of guests found the rates here were a little on the high side. The fact that you need to find extra for essentials such as parking, Internet access and breakfast probably helps to bolster this view.
negative:
No balcony furniture
While those guests who benefitted from a balcony liked this feature, several mention the lack of balcony furniture. The absence of somewhere to sit lessened the potential enjoyment of this facility.
negative:
Soundproofing could be better
A number of guests found this hotel was a little noisier than they expected, even when taking the bustling surrounding streets into account. The level of internal noise also sometimes suggests that the soundproofing could be better.
