Arrived around 8pm after a 12 hr car journey. The receptionist was helpful, the hotel lobby and the restaurants have been renovated and look exactly like in the pictures. The restaurant menu was simple, we thought we couldn’t go wrong. I ordered a sirloin steak , got an unidentified piece of tough meet they tried to flatten up and cook as a steak, a knife would not go through it , staff were rude and non apologetic when I pointed out that it was not possible to eat. €90 later for a pizza , salmon poke bowl was also appealing , a burger and a steak later the only thing worth paying for were the two glasses of Chablis. I thought the French love food ? We got a room number 20 in the outbuildings, had to walk through a nice modern lobby area towards the gym and pool, out to the back of the main building. It was a ground floor mini family room with a kitchenette. Welcomed by an unbearable smell of mould, a massive spider on the curtain, cobwebs everywhere, basic bathroom, filthy filthy walls, dirty floor , filthy carpet in the bedroom, The towels and bed sheets were possibly the only thing that was clean . Not quite sure how can the hotel get away with offering these rooms on the market , surely this is a public health hazard . The reception who was very helpful clearly new , and made no fuss when I asked to change it . Now , I know we booked the room cheap €90 room, I paid few months in advance non refundable. They sell rooms from around €140 for a family of 4 if we turned up in the day and paid then. Under no circumstances I expected to be sent to a mouldy dungeon with two young kids. Except for the helpful young man who in the end swapped the rooms it was a disaster. Possibly most awful hotel I ever stayed in and the worse food I ever ate . No exaggeration! Just to add the new room number 20 was above the mouldy room , this one was clearly upgraded , cleaner but not clean walls, newer bathroom and furniture cob webs and a hole in the curtain. Filthy window. Even had a coffee machine and 4 paper cups available , it did not smell as much though I don’t understand why upgrade upstairs and leave the bottom part of the building rot? The whole experience cost us €180 euro , for an overnight stay. Didn’t bother with a breakfast. Treated ourselves to pastry and coffee from Paula’s motorway services.

The boss does not speak English. It was almost 12 o'clock when he got off the plane. Although it was a 24-hour check-in, the parking lot and room card were the password for the mailbox. It is more convenient to smoke outside the room and the parking lot is large. Although the room is not soundproof, it is still very quiet at night. The price is very cost-effective.

We decided to book this hotel on our way to Bcn from Frankfurt. We couldn't enter the room by the digital lock at 30'. When we entered was dirty, the brown sawns and with rests, the toilet with rests of urine, full of spiders and spiders. We went down to reception, the boy went up to confirm? The hotel is all equal .... changed us to another room except the bed that was ok this time the rest was dirty and disguised, full of spiders and without Wi-Fi. The pool is without use and dirty service. The reception tells everything when you enter. I'm never going to Ibis Budget again, I'm dedicated to this and I think it's amazing that a brand like Ibis has this ant that in Spain would not have passed a minimum health inspection.

Met 4 vrienden op weg naar het zuiden op de motor. Lekker dichtbij de snelweg, maar toch wel rustig gelegen. Behalve die vliegtuigen die regelmatig overvliegen...... Ruime kamers met beneden en boven. Grote douche. Heerlijke bedden. Als een blok geslapen. Parkeerplaats die wordt afgesloten met een groot hek. Buiten terras met genoeg tafels. Lekkere biertjes worden er geserveerd. Zelfs ook een echte pizzaoven. Maar de pizza's krijgen een 7'tje. Het is geen pizzeria.

We arrived at about 10pm due to problems with the cross channel ferries, but were reassured by the idea that there was 24 hour access to this hotel. Unfortunately, when we arrived we were unable to check in. The machine at the entrance was broken (someone had smashed the screen) and it was so dark that we didn't immediately see a note attached to it which gave a phone number to call instead. We were unable to get into the car park because there were two barriers with pin pads. We managed to get through both eventually when other people arrived. Once we got in, we were stuck since we couldn't leave so we had to wait for other people to come in. There was no response to our pressing the help button on the intercom and the person I spoke to on the phone was completely unhelpful. I understand that I don't speak French very well, but I try and the person speaking to me made no effort to speak more slowly so that I could understand what he was saying. He hung up on my wife. When I got a fluent french speaking friend to call, they didn't answer. Eventually, we followed a french couple into the lobby and they drew our attention to an envelope which was left on the side with the room key in it and the access codes! When we got to the room, it was tidy but stank of smoke. Overall it was extremely stressful and I feel that it should have been made clear what the arrangements were if you check in later in the evening. It would not have been difficult to send an email explaining that if you check in late, an envelope will be left on the side with the key in it etc. We have two young children and nearly continued driving to our destination as we weren't sure we could actually get into the hotel.
