Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This hotel needs a lot of sprucing up / modernizing and a lot of kinks worked out. The biggest issue was that local calls could not be made from the room (dialing '9' for an outside line only got a busy signal) which they couldn't fix and the front desk rarely answers when dialing '0'. The "smart" TV system was a pain in the butt to operate and difficult / awkward to change channels ... sometimes needing to hit the remote several times for it to take a channel up command on the 'smart' screen.

The hallways are really dreary, possibly scary to some. The swimming pool is jammed into a small area beside the restaurant, butting right up to the windows.

The buffet breakfast is pretty good but they wouldn't allow eggs cooked to order ... only poached and scrambled in bulk. Evening meal was terrible offering pre-frozen entrees that are fried up, etc.

Staff are all friendly. Rooms are spacious including a large work space and beds are very good. Location is OK if driving. A bit far from the popular tourist sites.

The room was dirty, there was dried up lettuce under the bed which my baby found and began to eat! There is a giant fist sized hole in the bathroom door - why? Who knows. The rooms are loud and smell BADLY of cleaning chemicals. I was walking behind a cleaner down the hall and he was just spraying chemicals into the air. It was horrendous.
There was built up mould and scum on the walls near the bathroom, the flyscreen was falling off and had holes in it.
We paid for 3 nights as we needed to evacuate from our town due to the Bushfires and we had no where to go, Canberra is 3 hours away and was safe for us. We had no money from work etc due to last minute evacuation. The night we arrived we got offered free accommodation so the next morning at 9am I went to the front desk to say we would be leaving and explained our situation. They wouldn't give us a refund on the other two nights - they did give a discount on the cheapest night but while hundreds of other hotels and homes were been given out for free to genuine evacuees they still refused to give me a refund on our two unused nights.
Very poor form.

I can not recommend this hotel, it was quite disgusting and I am very surprised that Ibis allow their name to be on it.

I’ve stayed here a few times over the past few years and it’s been great on past visits but I noticed on this trip the curtains were a bit dirty and a few other things were a bit dirty as well but overall the room was nice as usual.

But when I read that the free in room wifi was only 2gb downloads per day and I had my laptop with me which I recently bought and brought it with me so I could watch some of my own movies on it instead of using the tv instead which I’ve always hated because of the mouse feature on the remote!

So when I found out that they only allowed 2gb of data per day I thought that was pretty low as it doesn’t take long to go through 2gb when you are online so I ended up using my own data on my phone and using it as a personal hotspot to my laptop instead. If they had unlimited data to use then I’d use them instead of my own data!

One thing I’ve always liked about this place is that there’s plenty of parking available! Compared with other hotels where there’s limited parking available and you got to get in early or just don’t drive anywhere so you’ll still have your own parking spot still otherwise you’ll have to park on the street instead if you get back late. Where as here you can come back anytime and you’ll always get a parking spot!

Apart from the low data usage which is annoying and the occasional dirty curtains and other dirty things it’s a great place to stay as everything is extremely central and close to everything and free parking and lots of it!

Public areas were not vacuumed for the 10 long days we stayed here. The pile of leaves on the floor in the entrance to the block our rooms were in remained there for the duration. Due to the noise of guests checking in at all hours we asked to be moved to a quieter room, so I can compare. Room 1 was shabby and smelt of damp cement; Room 2 was marginally fresher but still smelt of cement. Both carpets were old and worn and had a big stain by the dressers and the TVs could not be switched on and the remotes had no battery covers. The sheets (which were clean mercifully) did not fit on the beds so became totally untucked at night. The shower glass was mouldy and soap dispensers were broken. The odd toilet paper dispensers were horrible. The extractor fan in Room 1 was so loud and clunky it sounded like it would fall through the ceiling. In Room 2 there were no bedside lights (I had to ask for the sole light in Room 1 to be brought to our room, which it was, promptly) and there was an electrical fitting by the bed hanging off the wall. Clearly these family rooms (King, Single and Bunk) are in dire need of refurbishment. Very annoying that there are no power sockets near the beds and they are all along the wall near the TV.

I’m not sure what the scope of housekeeping was but everyday they would clean and dry the shower but the bathroom floor was neither swept nor mopped. In Room 2 there was a dubious smear/ stain on the bottom lip of the bathroom sink that was not cleaned off for the duration of our stay.

Most unpleasant of all, in Room 1 I noticed what I can only assume were specks of blood on the two sanitary items positioned on the sink. I put them in the bin. The next day these same two items had been neatly repositioned with the other bathroom amenities on the sink - REVOLTING! Instead of emptying it, why are housekeeping removing items from the waste bin and giving them back to the guests?! We did not put anything else in the bins after that and used the public bin outside.

We did not have any meals here so cannot comment.

The Front Office staff we dealt with were friendly and efficient.

Would not choose to stay here again

WE LEFT EARLY. The 2bedroom apartment we had booked was disgusting.

It stunk like urine, after bringing it to attention of front desk... They offered me air freshener.

The walls, floors and lounge were stained, drawn on, and the couch was so saggy it couldn't be sat on.

The "fully equipped kitchen" had 2 butter knives and no glasses. The kitchen bench was continually drenched from an unidentified leak.

As mentioned, the strong smell of urine came from the sticky and scummy bathroom. We purchased our own toilet paper as the single sheet dispenser was useless. We felt dirtier AFTER having been in the shower.

We couldn't run the air conditioner of a night as the outdoor unit was rattling and buzzing right outside the bedroom window. The blinds didn't work, and the flyscreens had fallen off the windows.

We felt disgusting and uncomfortable staying in this old, dank, dirty "apartment". We actively went and spent time elsewhere so not to be in it until we finally just cut our trip short and left.

After mentioning this to front desk we were met with a vacant stare and a "sorry about that. Your room has been fully paid so...."
At $160 a night, this room was disgusting.
Worst hotel experience in my life.

1. We booked 2 months in advance and phoned a month before to confirm, and then less than one week out were phoned to be told our 2 bedroom apartment had been downgraded to a single room, and kids would have to share a bed. Accept or cancel our booking, with too little notice to arrange something else. No option to stay at one of the 4 other ACCOR hotels in town. We were given a $60 refund ($30 per night) but the room ended up much more expensive than it deserved.
2. They failed to honour their price match guarantee.
3. Breakfast was good and kids enjoyed pancake maker and free ice-cream.
4. Hotel was very crowded and parking was not as accessible as envisaged.
I will avoid ACCOR in the future unless I have no other option

We stayed here for 2 nites over the weekend with family of 4 in a superior queen room (2 queen beds). Room is old and dark, no bedside lamps. Just one bedside table in the middle. Not very clean. Bathroom with shower over bathtub. Bathtub needed a very good clean, it was dirty with grout and mold and unpleasant. Could not get the temperature right with the water, water pressure also bad. Else the bathroom was cleanish.
Room walls are very thin, could hear everything from other rooms, street and hallway. The entry to the ‘wing’ where our room was located was a very odd and dangerous position if you have kids. As you drive into the entry driveway on the driveway on either side are doors into the hotel. One of these doors was the entry to our wing where our room was located. You are literally walking up the driveway to access your room. It was quiet at the time, but I wouldn’t want kids coming and going out that door right onto the driveway. Very strange.
Didn’t use the pool, or breakfast facilities. Can’t say much about location as we have a car and things are pretty close in Canberra. Only one staff member on at a time, running reception and bringing items/fixing problems with guests. He was very helpful and attended to our needs (towels and tv remote) immediately in a friendly and professional manner.
I would not stay here again though in spite of it being cheap, was just a depressing place to stay.

I received a courteous and efficient check in and check out. The check in staff member advised me that there are no safes in rooms, which made me worry a bit and carry my valuables around with me. The stairs and hallway leading to my room were very dirty and did not look as if they had been cleaned for ages, but the room was clean enough. I stayed three nights and the room was not serviced after my second night, but I arrived back too late to ask for that to be recitified. I mentioned it at checkout so hope it does not happen to others. I will probably stay again because of its convenient and quiet location, but I would feel better recommending to others if the overall cleanliness and cleaning services were better

I stayed at this hotel for 3 nights in a standard room. The room was old and there was a smell outside and also sometimes from the bathroom but it was immaculately clean when I arrived. The linen and towels are of a good quality. My room was not serviced the whole time, no towels or bath mat left the first day and then on the second just put onto the bed. Never stayed anywhere before that does not service the room each day. The walls in the block that I was in are paper thin and made for some interesting listening (not)
Reception is the worst experience I have ever had anywhere I have stayed. Check in was ok but very slow (apparently new staff member). Did ask to check my drivers licence and then I thought nothing of that until I realised on the last night that I did not have my licence. On searching everywhere and then asking at reception on the morning that I was leaving, found that it was at reception in draw with other papers on it. My point is, all my details are on my licence, why did no one bother to check and see if I was a guest and contact me and let me know to collect it at reception. I purchased a can of soft drink at reception and was told it was $8.00. Queried this a couple of times and as told no that is correct. After the third ? was told Oh sorry my mistake is should be $4.00. Hmmmmm mistake or something else. Mind you, when settling my account the charge for the soft drink was on my account even though I had paid for it in cash the night before. Luckily the lady at reception recalled me and apologised for the error and took the charges off the account. Next charged for 2 people for our breakfasts, only 1 person on the booking, had to be adjusted.
I really think there needs to be a review done of the reception and hospitality areas and have some more training given to the staff.
I am an Accor member and this hotel just does not meet their standards.
Normally I always receive a request to complete a review from the hotel, not from this one, maybe they do not want to publish the reviews they are receiving.

Room was hard to find due to inadequate external signage. TV turned on but had no signal as someone disconnected the cable. Housekeeping staff should check this sort of thing, plus eg lightbulbs, alarms on clock radios. Hotels dgenerally don't seem to leave space in wardrobe for guests belongings, nor usually is there anywhere in the bathroom to put guests toiletries. AND when do motels EVER de-frost the little fridges in the room??
In this room this time, TV remote didn't work properly, even after helpful staff member, apparently the only one on duty, tried to fix it by replacing batteries.
On the plus side comfortable bed, good aircon, terrible shower with no place to put soap etc. Good price.
