Would not recommend this property at all. Very poorly maintained, unresponsive and ill mannered staff, cleanliness is very poor. The beds, room and toilet are very uncomfortable This is not ibis standard. We have stayed ibis budget in syd and this one does not meet the standards. Avoid this place if you can. Would not suggest to stay with family at all. Very dis satisfied
