Clean and tidy. Bed was not made up as requested which resulted in housekeeping coming. My perfume was mistakenly thrown out from a bag near the rubbish bin in the bathroom. It should have been checked first. I lost about $200 worth of things due to this.

This is a hotel based on an off the shelf design used by many airport locality hotels. Whilst the room was comfortable enough, the bathroom was small, the window was small and you cannot open the window. I come from rural NZ, I want an opening window or door to a small deck, but I felt like a chicken in a coop.

Good location, just a shame about parking. $42.00 for on-site parking seemed a bit steep, but we paid to ensure our car was safe & we didn't know the area well enough.

I stayed with a group of elderly women. The food was great, we had dinner and breakfast. I also get the free drink from the room card envelope. It was a bit of a drawn out process but patience is a virtue, that definitely paid off that day.

Our second stay at the Ibis. Our welcome on arrival was very friendly and we appreciated being given a room overlooking the river and railway - we do like trains! The appearance of the restaurant was really good and the food and service for dinner and breakfast was excellent. checkout was quick and efficient. The only negative was the $42 per night charged for valet parking which I thought was quite expensive for the location.

The service from reception was fantastic. Went above and beyond to sort out parking for 2 cars. Rooms are comfortable. The room menu could do with a few more basic items for fussier people for dinner menu.

Fantastic place with comfy beds and great location. Only recommendation would be to put a hand towel in the bathroom as there was only bath towels and flannels. Otherwise, a fantastic stay!

Rooms was good and comfortable. The reason why not a 10 is because I would have liked a Nespresso machine. (Older Breville taking the original capsules). I had to bring my own.
Other than that it was great.
