ibis Styles Invercargill

Bed reasonably comfy

No lounge, few power points, only one small mirror, no control over heating, basic

I didn’t like the size of the rooms there was nowhere to put our luggage which was quite a lot as we are away for 10!weeks and the place smelt of stale food, so much so I had to wash anything that had been out of my case.

Kitchen sink, great location, good heating

Bed was small than the usual. No parking available when we check in.

The room was clean and available

Compared to where we had stayed in Balclutha (for $125 per night LESS), the room was very small and the shower minute. One would expect, for the price, a more spacious room, Sky TV with 50+ channels (as we had in Balclutha!!), extra chairs to sit on when not sleeping, etc — I guess we were spoiled at our previous two motels which had far more to offer and were much quieter. It was also very noisy, both from the traffic outside and the banging of the fire doors far too often within the hotel. So a rather sleepless night for both of us who then had to embark on a six and a half hour journey homewards the next morning.

Not alot

Rooms were very much like cells very cramped with bare block and concrete walls,no views from the windows. Just inside the entrance to the Reception area there was litter from the street including cigarette ends and this was there for the duration of our stay and the litter bin in the reception area was full but was not emptied.
