In Leeds (city in West Yorkshire , UK) for a concert Saturday night. 
Stayed at the Ibis Leeds Centre.
Very big hotel (168 rooms on 12 floors) about 15 mins walk from the heart of Leeds centre.
Be aware that if they put you above the 10th floor it's probably a smoking room.
The hotel has no car park but there is a pay and display car park across the (very busy) road. It is normally 5 GBP for overnight but at weekends its 1 GBP.
There is an "in house" cab firm who are very efficent and very cheap (3.50 GBP to Leeds centre).
The staff were very friendly and efficient although they did initially put us in a smoking room which we didn't fancy. They changed it quick enough but it meant another 10 minute wait at the reception.
We did have something to eat in the restaurant/bar and it was the worst meal I have had all year.
We had an Aberdeen Angus Steak Burger (with fries and salad) at 8.95 GBP. The chips were cold, the burger was burnt, the bun was stale and the salad was limp. Altogether the worst experience I have ever had in an Ibis. We had to leave in a hurry so no time to complain and didn't fancy another wait at reception to do so..
Rooms have shower but no bath (or at least ours did).
The best thing about it was the price. I don't know the rack rate for rooms but I paid 39 GBP but then I did book it 6 months in advance.
Overall OK and would stay there again. Got the impression it is a favourite stay over for stag and hen parties judging by the large numbers of groups of young men and young women in the bar. Suspect it could get a bit noisy if you get unlucky. We had no problems with our room though.

The concert was great though. Here's the ticket:
It's quite a busy hotel so expect to queue to check in and out. (see pic)
