Passable
Good price for last minute stay, we stayed 3 nights.
No housekeeping, bin ovwrflowed the next day no housekeeping
Room dirty with chips in the top bunk. The bin itself when we emptied it looked disgusting. They didn't replace the milk or coffee and you have to line up and ask

Room was clean. Very small for three adults. Third bed not made, no offer to make it for us when I asked for linen. Difficulty contacting reception when stated to be open. Welcome at check in very ordinary. Toilet door hits bed when opening. Squishy toilet and shower with sink to wash hands on other side of room. Hallways daggy, carpet frayed. Had to shuffle around each other to move around room. More like a hostel than what I would expect from an Ibis.

For the price I can't really complain, however no power outlet next to the bed is annoying. No toilet brush. Airconditioner front panel filthy dirty, shower extraction fan dirty. No blanket in room. Noisy traffic particularly a lot of Police sirens throughout the night.
The Brunswick Tower Hotel for the same price was much better. The only reason I chose the Ibis was because of local prices, and much nearer to Epping.
