"I had booked through hotels.com and had got a good b&b deal. It hadn't been made clear, though, that there would be a parking charge of £9. I was pleased that the receptionist reduced this to £6 which was a helpful gesture - apparently Ibis do not own or run the car park. The room and twin beds (made into a superking) were comfy. Having a socket by the mirror was useful; there was a lovely large shower cubicle. Good breakfast overall, though poor selection in cereals (eg no weetabix) and spreads (eg no marmite). Very nice scrambled egg (once I'd added s&p). No fried eggs as standard but when my husband asked for these they were made to order. Staff were friendly and helpful.
I had already checked in online but I'm not clear what the point of that was so that was a waste of time. We had to wait a long time for the (very pleasant) receptiionist to be able to deal with us on arrival, where we had to check in and pay for parking. There was no self-check-in-kiosk."
