Staff were excellent. Mattress was not the greatest and rooms small. Wife woke up at night to sewer gas smell a few times( and it wasn’t me lol). Lighting in washroom was also poor. Second time in an ibis property I’ll look elsewhere next time.

We reached the hotel at 2 am.. The receptionist was not friendly at all as if we were not supposed to reach the hotel at 2:00 am! The room is so small no safe, no closet, there's no space to even walk or place your luggage! Breakfast was decent though..

Nice hotel

Rooms were nice, staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent. Parking was available. Not too far from historic downtown and the river, just a short taxi drive. Only issue we had was the fact that you had to drive out to find restaurants, we did not try to walk because it seemed complicated. There is a shopping mall a few minutes away with an excellent food court.

Really happy with our stay! We arrived later than expected and pleased to find the restaurant was open all night so we could grab something to eat before bed. And the breakfast was awesome, many pastry choices, cereal, eggs, coffee and juice as well. We stayed in a regular room and while it was fine for two people (who were hardly in the room anyway) I would consider booking the bigger comfort suites in the future (plus you can get river views).
