ibis Styles Adelaide Manor 3 étoiles

Room is super basic, but clean. Wifi cut out at 8pm, never to return. No restaurant, but very expensive room service menu with limited choices for non meat-eaters (meat allergy). When I was checking in, front-of-house staff were not empathetic to my situation and were impatient. Very difficult to find using gps. Blink, and you'll miss the turn off. Situated on a corner of 2 major roads, bring your earplugs if you're a light sleeper.

Booked here because we are Accor gold members. A mistake. Room was ordinary and the pillowcases on our bed were not even ironed. I asked for our free drink and we're told 'We don't do that here'. Not in keeping with the usual Accor standard. This property needs a renovation. The plus was that the room was a reasonable size and it was in a good location to travel to the city on public transport.

Overall it was a good stay,my room was old and dated admittedly but in good condition and very clean. I booked it last minute. As a truck driver I was happy with a bed and be able to stretch out for 2 days but the little things around the place annoyed me the longer i was there. The television didn't pick up a channel and was about 20 years old. The fridge didn't work so my food defrosted, The guest laundry was out of order so I couldn't wash my clothes, the pool was clean but had a padlock on the gate, as it was nice weather I was disappointed that I couldn't enjoy it. Same with the restaurant, was closed so you could have a meal but confined to your room. I Had dinner in my room one night and the food was delicious so compliments to the chef there,as well as the girl on reception.very polite and professional. Would I stay there again? No probably not there was to much left me frustrated to go back. And to make matters worse it doesn't seem like I can even get points for staying there.

I only stayed one night at this property - and selected for this due to it was just a short night stay and this (chain) property seemed to be one of the more reasonable one among the different properties available for a reasonable price for the dates I need. Location The property is mostly suitable if you have a car/taxi/ride sharing, outside of that it is close to impossible or way too much hassle to use public transfportation. There is not much close to the property - within walking distance opposite from this property is a small shopping centre and about 10 mins by foot, there are some fast food and a pub. Check In Do take note that this property does not have a 24 hour check-in desk. I was actually taken surprised by this. Initially if it was not due to a flight delayed, I would have arrived when there was someone at the check-in desk. However I only arrived at the property slightly after 10pm due to the delay. I did receive an email from the property (which I was onboard the plane) about my arrival time, which I only saw after arriving into my room. Anyway, upon arrival at the property and noticing that the check-in desk was closed, they did have a phone to call the night on-duty person. [actually all the information was in that email]. The night duty person was came quickly down and my keys were available in a coded box and also a letter explaining the facilities, breakfast etc. Room There is only 2 floors in this motel like layout - with no lifts. I was allocated a room on the 2nd floor. The room was ok - for 1 night it was ok. The room was spacious - and decorated simply. There is not really much else to say about the interior decoration - which was close to none. There was a small table and next to it tea/coffee making facilities with a small fridge. There was also a small sofa in the room next to the bed. At the end of the room was a small wardrobe. The room was mounted with a wall AC unit - this worked fine and seemed to be a new unit. Internet speed was ok and the TV on the small side was ok - mainly with local Australian channels. Sleep quality was ok - the bed being sufficiently comfortable and there was no major interior nor exterior disturbance. The only noise disturbance towards the morning is the traffic from the major road next to the property - for me this was still tolerable, but might not be for light sleepers. The bathroom size was ok with a walk-in shower. The shower pressure and temperature control was good. They did provide generic toiletries. Overall Overall an OK property - although again I would like to stress that this is certainly not the usual Ibis Styles I had expected. Unless the definition of Styles here is the unique property which is based on a motel like style. For me the price-value was OK but for the same price I would next time find something more of a hotel like. I was also surprised that breakfast was not included by default (my experience with other Ibis Styles was that breakfast was included). There was a swimming pool - which I did not use, but did look ok. The only reason I gave it a 2 star is because of just how this property has been categorized within the Accor hotels branding - which I find certainly not the correct branding. Staff in general was friendly - I only communicated with the front desk agent when checking out.

staff on check in were nice, room was clean and spacious. The TV didn't work, but it was too late to anything about it at the time. Next morning I played around with it and tried a different power point and it worked. The airconditioner didn't work at all. The bathroom sink faucet wobbled around and there was no hairdryer!! I don't take one with me, have never stayed in a hotel without one in about 30 years. The bed was like a concrete slab, so hard. A feedback page was left for me to fill out, which I did. . I left it with my key in the drop box. I hope they read it.
