"Really disappointed. Regularly visit Paignton and usually stay in the Travelodge.
Thought that staying at the relatively new Ibis Styles would be an upgrade.... How wrong could I be.
Check in was really good. The member of staff that checked us in was friendly and genuine.
From that point it all went downhill.
The design of the shower room doesn't work. It has a channel drain across the shower that doesn't collect the water. It has a half width shower partition that doesn't reach the floor. The water that splashes off of your body, hits the screen and runs down beyond the channel and floods the bathroom floor.
To prevent this you have to put down a towel which ends up completely soaked.
We noticed that after having a shower, the drain smelt of urine for 2 hours afterwards. This happened on all three days.
The second morning breakfast was farcical. We arrived about 8.50am and hit problems from the start. There were no mugs available for the coffee and we had to wait. Then no plates for toast, pastries etc for about 20 minutes then these items started running out.
It then got worse. Food items were running out and not getting replenished quickly.
A lady was told the eggs would be 3-4 minutes, so I dished up the rest of my cooked items and made a start. They finally arrived over 10+15 minutes later. I had finished.
No plates were available for about 15 on the pastries/fruit station.
Value for money (Inc parking) was far worse than the Travelodge. Quality was worse."
