The air con was great but the beds were a bit hard although that is a personal preference. The staff were very friendly but I did ask three different members if I had to put my car registration in on both days and was told no by all three only to then be told yes by the fourth member of staff when I checked out so am a bit worried in case I get a parking ticket. I did feel that it was very expensive and there was something vile on the tap that I had to clean off myself before using. It was very quiet which was good.

The room was very clean although perhaps small for 3 adults. Reception staff were very helpful. Our room had been made up for 2 people despite the booking being for 3 but staff offered to change the room (which we declined) and within minutes the bedding we needed had been brought to the room. The food in the restaurant was delicious and reasonably priced to say we were a captive audience and breakfast was good quality with plenty of choice. All in all we would definitely stay again.

We booked with hotels.com when it was the ibis styles. We booked with breakfast. When we arrived, the hotel was now run by Marriot as AC Hotels but the breakfast option had not been transferred along with tge booking. However the staff/management allowed us to have breakfast once we showed then the itinerary on the hotels app. Other than that the stay was very good.
