I know it is a budget hotel, and I have stayed in IBIS budget hotels before, and I never had reason to complain.
Please can you relay me how this is going to be rectified.
Thank you

Room condition ok for the price, needs a refresh, but the location is excellent. Staff were friendly. Aircon didn't work, and TV only had free to air no netflix or Youtube. No ability to cast to tv either.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Room was ok. The bedding had black and brown marks. Shower screen had 2 panels instead of 3. Milk was in a fridge that wasn't switched on so fridge was warm.
Staff were extremely friendly
It’s a very basic hotel; quite run down. You feel that the room has been “ well used”. The linen and towels very clean , but it’s a 2 star hostel basically. Needs a serious makeover. Would be fine at $100 a night as a budget establishment but I had to pay $250 which is exorbitant for the type of accommodation. Certainly not a room you would want to spend any time in.

Have stayed here many times over the years when it was Formula 1 hotel. Budget hotel, basic set up with shower in the room, no separate bathroom. Unfortunately both lights over the bed did not work. One was missing a light switch & the other had z blown globe. I was paying over $180 a night & would expect everything to be in working order. Informed reception & a lamp was provided the next day. Handy location, very close to all transport, eating,.
