Atrocious

I was put in what I believe is a wheel chair friendly room that had absolutely nothing friendly going for it. The bed was in a corner up against three walls with the TV impossible to see unless you laid at an awkward angle in bed. No bedside tables, so nowhere to put a glass of water or phone. The only mirror in the bedroom is very narrow and placed bang in the corner of the room making it practically impossible for a right handed person to do anything in front of it including drying your hair. The bed was hard, there were no proper pillows, instead cushions stuffed into pillow cases. The bathroom was filthy and smelt awful. The shower curtains are badly stained, not fit to shower within. The marks on the floor in the photos aren’t water, they are very used , dirty, stained flooring. The water from the sink tap is barely a trickle, luckily I had plenty of bottled water with me. I felt cleaner going without a shower, and I only used the loo because I had to. I asked for a different room and was advised there wasn’t any availability. Lastly, the room had a connecting door to another room. I didn’t sleep a wink as couldn’t work out if it was locked from the other side. I frequently travel alone and have used IBIS a few times - this will be my last visit to IBIS Manchester. As a solo lady traveller the facilities were greatly lacking and my sense of feeling insecure was frightening. Absolutely avoid IBIS Manchester but if you must definitely give room 112 on the 2nd floor a miss. Pity I cannot upload the photos!!
