Smallish rooms but perfect for a business stay. Extremely comfortable beds and the aircon is actually able to be turned down to 16degrees. Far better than boiling in hotel rooms.

Excellent stay at Ibis. Breakfast was great, clean, spacious rooms. Staff were lovely. Only parking was $40 per night, which I thought was expensive. Other than that it was a great stay with excellent location.

Great location good breakfast

The bar and breakfast were good. The parking situation a bit less so with having valet parking only. But even that wasn't that much of a hassle. Great central location very convenient for the restaurants and a short 15-20 minute walk to the Rugby stadium.
