Not using ibis again
Pros:

The staff was good

Cons:

The air conditioning was on high when we arrived so we did not notice anything unusual. Before going to bed we shut down the air. I woke later that night to the smell of sewer gas or a strong mold infiltration. By the time morning arrived I was nauseous

Pros:

Our room was great and loved the free car parking and location. The only disappointment in aspect was the guest laundry which didn’t appeared to be monitored regularly. We washed our clothes and followed directions which said detergent would be automatically dispensed… but it was pretty obvious our clothes just swished around in plain water. However, it was the only blip and we’d still visit again
