The stay was great. Nice hotel and clean room. I came with a big van and the parking is narrow with a dead end. I do not recommend it with a very big vehicule.

Great experience
It was our first time in a hotel in Hamilton. Close to any other places. Hotel in excellent condition, very convenient ground and underground parking. Food was enjoyable. Front desk, room service and restaurant personnel were extra friendly

Pleasantly surprised business stay
I booked the hotel on the day of and was pleasantly surprised with the hotel. Friendly service. Clean and modern hotel. If I could suggestion anything, it would be to extend the breakfast period until 10 AM and consider installing an ATM on-site.
