Also, is there anything to disqualify you from a back to back stay? I've been burned by Avis Car Rentals before and don't want to get burned by fine print again.
e.g. Booking a reservation on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at the same property would be okay and would qualify for 3 stays, right?
Booking 3 separate reservations from Monday to Wednesday would probably count as only 1 stay, I would imagine?
Thanks for any clarification.

Is it 5000 for each stay, or just a one time bonus?
Is there a list of hotels which wouldn't count? Or are excluded? As someone else said the Ibis budget would not be included, but some Ibis would be fine according to the T&C.

Is this a fairly common promotion with Accor? I'm an SPG Platinum and Hyatt Diamond but would be willing to try out Accor for this.

The T&C are pretty clear on what qualifies.

Considering all the trouble we go through with SPG just to earn 20,000 points just so we can convert those points into Aeroplan for 25,000 miles, I would have to agree with you! That sounds like a terrific deal!
Any limitations or fine print? If I stay 1 night, I get 5,000 miles?! Is that true?

From places where there are lots of Accor properties eg Bali, Jakarta, Bangkok - to places where there are none.. eg Vancouver !!

possibly one time promotion only
I spoke with a le Club guy this afternoon who asked his supervisor who in turn asked her higher-up. Their position is that this is a one-time promotion.
If you read the Aeroplan promotional text, you will not find the wording "per stay". It just says stay and earn 5000 miles. It does not say you can repeat it.
I am at my second stay at Novotel in Athens, but my first stay has not posted yet. I may switch to Miles and More once it posts.
With Miles and More, at least you know for sure you can earn 3500 miles per stay, for up to 10 stays. Personally I think Miles and More miles are more valuable than Aeroplan miles. Maybe 3500 Miles and More miles are almost worth the same as 5000 aeroplan miles.
The only thing is that a qualifying stay for Miles and More promotion is 1 night for Sofitel, 2 nights for Novotel, 4 nights for ibis. That's not a problem for me. I don't do 1 night stay, too much hassle. I don't stay at budget hotels like ibis either.

So have you been upgraded to Platinum after 3 stays? You would have earned 30000 points.
