Nice and quite place to stay. A bit run down but was decent and comfortable for our 2 nights that we stayed here. Would have liked it that they supplied more than 1 and a quarter used toilet paper for 4 people. And the soap/shampoo dispenser should be filled to actually use it in the shower. It had only 1 drop left in it. I think maybe lowering the price for the night would suit this place. I think charging over $150 a night might be a bit pricey. The parking is great as it is right outside the room. The windows were a bit weird too. But it was a nice enough place to stay.

Overall I am happy with the stay, one thing I would suggest is changing the covers on bed to something brighter as the brown looks old and dirty. Other than that the motel was good for what we paid and good location.

when you are welcomed by a couple of cockroaches in your room it doesn't leave a very good impression on ones stay. And then there was the ants on the bench in the kitchen. Thankfully I ate out. Didn't leave me wanting to go back or recommend ot others

Happy that management to compliant serious.
Our trip was for PHOENIX INTERNATIONAL DANCE WORKSHOP. Great location for this and for supermarket. We took two room and made sleeping work. Unfortunately they had another guest that was not very welcoming. Could do with a good scrub in rooms. - Kitchen stove in 3 needs upgrade. - bathroom could do with a scrub and fix windows. And telephones in the room would be great or staff answering work phone or transfer it to another line at night.

I LIKED JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING. NICE CLEAN WELL KEPT ROOM WITH AIR/HEAT (HEAT PUMP) - GREAT SERVICE >> FRESH TOWEL EVERY DAY etc...HAD A STUDIO ROOM WHICH WAS QUITE SPACIOUS. MANAGERS DID NOT SPEAK ENGLISH WELL, BUT WE COMMUNICATED OK. PARKING WAS A BIT TIGHT IN BACK NON-SMOKING ROOMS, BUT AWAY FROM ALL STREET NOISE AND "VERY QUITE" BACK THERE.I DEFINITELY WOULD "HIGHLY RECOMMEND" IT AND WILL BOOK IT AGAIN THROUGH EXPEDIA AGAIN WHEN VISITING HAMILTON. CLOSE IN... BUT NOT TO CLOSE TO CITY CENTER. I EVEN STAYED AN ADDITIONAL 2 NIGHTS !!! THUMBS UP 👍👍👍 FOR THE "CLASSIC MOTEL"AND "EXPEDIA"...CHEERS FROM HASTINGS, NEW ZEALAND

Large rooms, well appointed kitchen, 2 TV sets (one in the lounge and one in the main bedroom. older decor and a bit rough but still good value, room were clean but my room had a significant cockroach infestation, I got up during the night for a glass of water to find 30 to 40 cockroach's in the kitchen. Also there was black mold in the shower. (room number 5)

Lots of road noise at this motel. Old joinery so not double glazed and right next to a busy intersection. The room was clean but the beds were very tired. Could feel the springs in them and they were saggy. Not a lot of sleep here.
