This hotel looks NOTHING like the photos online. The first concern was the run down reception area and the room was just as bad. Got there at 3:30 and told the room wasn’t ready and only after pushing were we assigned a room shortly after that. Skip bon at the front of the rooms and the entire site looks like an abandoned school camp. Air conditioner dripped which made the room wet and smelt like mould. I booked this room for my sister in law and felt awful to have booked somewhere so run down.

Good Overnight Stay - Mid Travel

This place was OK. Nothing too exciting to offer, rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable. Dont take the pictures on the website as fact. In fact, the area surrounding and in the premises was very run down. No upkeep, or very limited maintenance. No where to sit to enjoy the afternoons or evenings woth a cold beer or glass of wine. Actually, no seats what so ever, even outside your room to relax. Thats a big disappointment. Nothing like sitting back relaxing on a holiday, rather than having to sit on your bed, room bound. The area that is available has no warmth, and very run down. Needs some love, get a area for people to relax and enjoy. Would eat here if offered, and we stayed 2 nights, 1 would of been enough. Note: Staff were very friendly a d accommodating.

We stayed for two nights and had booked for 2 adjacent ground floor rooms. The rooms were not serviced after the first night, despite of indicating it clearly on the door using their sign posts. We had requested for 2 adjacent rooms. They had it in the notes, but didn't organise it ,even after making the booking and payment at least 12 days in advance. The room had all amenities as explained in the booking

The Ibis Styles at Ainsley is a clean and quiet motel, very conveniently located. The facilities aren't amazing, but the rooms are modern and have everything you need for a very reasonable price.
