The Hotel is exactly that Budget and is clean and is close to Dining and other facilities. I find the space to work at in the room very tiny and claustrophobic to be in. Budget inexpensive room for one night stay it was good.

My room was at the back of the property, so was quiet & I was woken by birdsong in the morning. Excellent shower. Plenty of parking. Maccas was next door, Gosford RSL was a short walk down the street Room was tired but clean. Comfortable bed. Would stay again.

Located just as you come into Gosford, Ibis is situated just off the highway and behind a McDonald's. Despite the location it is actually quiet inside with no traffic noise. Car parking at front. Very basic but clean and fine for the price. No shampoo/conditioner. Quick walk to RSL and Dan Murphys. Easy basic accomm if all you want is a bed and shower.
