I'm a gold member of Accor so tend to end up in an Ibis or Mercure in the UK. Prices have gradually crept up this year though, but abroad I've found them to be generally stable.
Ibis can vary but you tend to know what you're getting. That said, a badly maintained and unrefurbished Mercure can be truly naff, while a refurbished one can be fantastic.
I opt for a Premier Inn if its cheaper as I find them to be decent. I used to do quite a few easyHotels when they first started as they used to be exceptionally cheap (£17 a night in Birmingham was quite normal) but not so much anymore.
