Reviews and Ratings
I had a fantastic stay at Ivey's! The atmosphere felt cozy and welcoming, and the cleanliness was top-notch. The beds were super comfortable, making it a great place to rest after a long day. I also appreciated the helpful staff who went out of their way to make my stay enjoyable. However, if you're looking for a full-service experience, this place might not be the best fit as it doesn’t offer all the frills. Overall, a wonderful value for the price!
Ivey's provided a surprising and delightful stay, with immaculate facilities and a clean, comfortable room. The breakfast service starting at 5 AM was an excellent touch for early travelers, and the attached pub restaurant made dining convenient. However, there were a few issues such as the need for better water drainage in the shower and a strong cleaning product odor in the room, which impacted the experience slightly.
During my stay, I encountered some serious cleanliness issues, particularly with the bed linens, which were unacceptably dirty despite the staff's friendly demeanor. The staff did move me to another room where the sheets were acceptable, but the overall experience left much to be desired. The breakfast offered was basic, and although the location is reasonable, I wouldn't choose to stay here again due to these issues.
I had a lovely stay at this hotel, with a very comfortable king bed and a solid breakfast starting early at 5 AM, which made hitting the road early easy. The cleanliness was a big plus, and the staff were welcoming and helpful. On the downside, the shower situation could use some improvement, as it left the bathroom floor soaking wet, and the cleaning products used had a strong scent that affected the air quality a bit.
I had a very convenient overnight stay at this hotel, with a fairly easy check-in and a clean room, though I did notice a few spots that needed attention. The mini fridge was a lovely addition, and the towels were thick and cozy. The restaurant attached to the motel offered fantastic food and timely service, making the experience quite pleasant overall. However, I do think some areas, especially in cleanliness, could be improved.
