I've never been in the upstairs part, but it looks pretty roomy if it follows the whole building round.Given this hotel brand (and many others) work to standard room sizes for their sites I'm curious to see what they do with the place
From the plans that I have seen they are making very little changes to the external appearance of the building.
A number of studies have recently been commissioned by SCC; SBC and the IBis which have all confirmed a need for 1 new hotel in Stafford town centre in the short term.
The applicants have projected an avg.80% occupancy rate. This equates to 49000 guests. They've projected a £20 per head spend by each guest in Stafford. This equates to £1mn.
Plus new jobs. A win win for everyone.
Now now Tilly we can't be having an Ibis Budget in Stafford (then again it's not too late for them to change their mind!). Question is, what will the rooms be themed to?
I'd be surprised if it did.I wonder how it will affect 'The Swan'?

Everybody's talkin' but no one says a word.Strange ways indeed

Ibis is a budget hotel so a different market to the swan. According to the studies that I've read there is a real problem trying to get a hotel room in Stafford and, therefore, people are having to book hotels further away.
Home bargains is staying as far as I know, they're building around it, and tbh, with the increased footfall to the area, it'll probably be rubbing it's hands with glee, so long as the landlord doesn't take the opportunity to increase rent !!
