Everything was lovely at this hotel. Staff were excellent and because it is a new building, everything was fresh and clean. There are some restaurants in walking distance, many more only a short drive away. It is a good central spot for visiting Hamilton.

This hotel was great. I did mention a few things to the front desk that were minor. I figured because it is a new hotel they are still working out some kinks

When I booked on Expedia it was $222, when I checked in it was $297.11….thats way to much for what the room was. Two towels, 1 glass. I feel defined and ripped off. I will not recommend this hotel to anyone; or will I ever stay here again. Do better and be true to what your site says.
