Excellent staff poor rooms
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.

Comfortable stay with excellent service!
We booked a superior room with a nice view of the river. It was comfortable, not so big but big enough for our 1 night stay. The room was available early which was really nice because we arrived around noon. It is a fair walk to the restaurants down hill which means you have to go up hill when returning. We decided not use the breakfast facilities so I can't comment on those. Lovely area to sit outside and catch some sun. Would definitely stay here again when in the area.

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..

Vale a pena para quem estiver de carro
Tivemos uma boa experiência de hospedagem. Quartos silenciosos, camas confortaveis. A unica ressalva é o box que é aberto e acaba molhando o banheiro e falta um pouco de espaco para deixar as malas. Poderiam ser colocados alguns ganchos a mais no quarto pra ajudar a pendurar bolsas e casacos.
