Room was clean and a good price. Just what we needed for a night to see a concert in town. The guys at the front desk are very nice & my deposit was returned promptly. Parking is included and lots of space. Will be back whenever I’m in Hamilton.

The staff were very nice! We had no problem checking in/out, but we would kindly recommend that you have feminine hygiene products as amenities, and maybe some water in the fridge. We had to order these things separately. The bed was very comfortable and we slept well. Overall solid experience.

Staff was nice at check in, upgraded room from queen size to king size with no extra charge. The room was tidy, looked appealing, and smelled fresh, had adjustable heating in both room and bathroom. Just wish there was a bit more closet space to hang clothes other than hanger on front door. Overall great experience
