Ibis Coventry South
Bright budget rooms with free parking on the A45
About this hotel
Ibis Coventry South rounds out the ring-road cluster with free parking and a bar and restaurant on site, sitting roughly the same short drive from The Wave as the nearby Premier Inn South property. Its slightly lower star rating keeps rates a notch below the Premier Inn chain for families who don't need much beyond a clean room and a car park, and it's a sensible fallback when the two Premier Inn options nearby are already booked out for the dates a family needs. Air conditioning and a pet-friendly policy round out the basics, and the bar and restaurant mean there's still an easy dinner option on site without needing to drive back out along the ring road after dark.

Our take
This suits families on the tightest budget who want free parking and a short drive to The Wave without paying Premier Inn's slightly higher rates for essentially the same basic room. It's a genuinely no-frills stay with limited on-site extras, so families wanting more comfort, character or a proper restaurant should look elsewhere on this list instead.
- ✓Book directly when possible for the lowest rate on this already budget-friendly property.
- ✓Confirm free parking at booking, since availability can be tighter here during peak weekends.
- ✓Use the on-site bar and restaurant on your most tiring evening rather than driving back into town.

Why guests love itThis was our fallback after the Premier Inn nearby was fully booked for our dates, and it turned out to be perfectly fine for what we needed, a clean, air-conditioned room and free parking for the short drive to The Wave each day. The bar downstairs covered a quiet dinner on our last night when nobody wanted to go anywhere else after a full day of slides.
