James Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

the staff was great not so much the rooms. No sink in the bathroom. The shower wets everything in that combo cabin toilet shower. Broken fly screen and dirty window. Old and very dated room. However the bed was comfy to sleep in.

Attitude from the guy on front desk and charged for parking without notice

I've stayed at the Wallsend Ibis about 50 times over the last 10 years, and probably a similar number of times between the the Campbelltown and Watson locations as well. I also regularly book my staff in to your locations. On Friday when I went to check in at Wallsend the guy on the front desk was not someone I'd be proud to have representing my company. Firstly he informed me of the $5 parking fee. I was surprised because I'd never had that applied during previous stays, and so I asked where on the website it was displayed. He barked back "It's on there - you must have missed it." I didn't respond - I just pulled up the Accor website that I booked through and my Accor booking confirmation to try to find where this information is provided, and upon failing to find it I asked the attendant if he could show me where on the website the parking charge is displayed. He told me it "was not his job" to show me and continued on his way. I then went to the room and got settled, and I wanted to wash my hands in the sink. I noticed that there was no cake of soap like there normally is, so I went back to my friend on the front desk and asked if he had any spare cakes of soap because one was missing from my room. Again he barked his response back at me that "There's a body wash pump bottle in the shower that can be used!" His suggestion was to pump body wash into my hands, walk to the other side of the room and then wash my hands in the sink. Doesn't seem like the best system to have in place. I asked when Accor stopped doing the small soap cakes and again he barked back at me that apparently they haven't been done for more than 10 years. I questioned this, referencing the fact that on my previous visits I always had a small cake of soap on the sink, and he told me he'd worked there for 5+ years and that they had never existed. He finished this lovely exchange by saying "Thanks Champ". Responding with "Thanks Champ" is a new (dumb) trend doing the rounds on social media as a way of intending to offend or belittle someone. I found it funny that he had the gall to throw out a "Thanks Champ" but it perfectly summed up the two interactions I had with him. When I stayed at your Campbelltown location the following night there was no cake of soap but there was a wall mounted soap dispenser directly next to the sink. That's obviously a smarter and more sanitary setup. Long story short, the very large gentleman working behind the desk on the evening of Friday 4th April 2025 was enough to make me not want to stay there again. It's concerning that one rude individual can have such an impact on someone in the space of 5 minutes during what should be a pretty simple and easy process. Likewise, and this is more the principle of it, I want my $5 back for parking please.

Convenient location.

It was a last-minute booking as I needed to stay overnight for work commitments. It was clean (and smelled pleasant) comfortable and the facilities catered for what I needed.
