Since this thread was born 3+ years ago, I am proud to have sampled the charms of the IBIS/AMS for myself! Got stuck there on a 24-hour mechanical about one year ago.

Compared to many Stateside Days Inns, Comfort Inns, etc., I didn't think the IBIS was THAT bad... rooms small and basic but clean. OK bar. Noted no hard-core porn on the TV but didn't really go in search either. I was most impressed by the sloping travelators they have to move you between floors... the place is sprawling, just enormous.
