Room was fine but the mattress was horrible. I’ve stayed at this hotel over the past seven years when I travel to Hamilton and this was the worst night at this location. That mattress should be thrown out. By the time I got myself settled and into bed it was after 1:30 AM and it was not an appropriate time to request a room change. I did bring it up to the person at the front desk when I was checking out and they were surprised, but at the same time didn’t even care enough to offer some sort of compensation. A little bit apathetic to be honest. I also was very surprised to see a security guard, walking around the lobby and sitting in the front lobby. If something‘s going on, it’s not a good sign. I will reconsider booking this hotel for future trips.

Paid for a top room. Unable to sleep due to excessive noise from the AC ventilation. After over an hour, was offered another room, but exactly the same issue. Staff were totally uninterested. Would rather sleep in the car than stop here again

What I didnt like is the way this hotel handles payment. Ive booked several hotels and never had one hold $630 in payments plus make me pay $230 at checkout for staying 1 night. I also selected to pay at the property and was charged the night before for the whole stay plus a deposit.

A Nice Stopover for One Night

Was right on top of where two highways merge, so I was very concerned about the noise. But…it wasn’t bad at all. The windows blocked it out quite well. Room was modern and seemed super clean! The restaurant was only staffed by one person. She was the greeter, server and then went back and cooked your food. We sat at our table a VERY long time before getting menus or acknowledgement. Something didn’t make sense…and sure enough, the poor women didn’t want you ordering food if she was still busy with the prior customers. It was all linear for her—no ability to multi-task. But honestly, it became comical for two retirees with time to spare.

Was a good stay for a night as I had an appointment in Hamilton. There is a highway right behind the Hotel that makes for loud traffic noise and it smelled like sewage outside, I was told this is normal for Hamilton prior to travelling there.

Great hotel, dicey entrance

Getting into the hotel is a little strange, by way of a "bicycle lane / slip way just after traffic lights / bus stop!! Large billboard obscures hotel sign until the very last minute. Could prove dangerous in high traffic situations.
