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

It’s just far enough out of the way to be troublesome if you are wanting to explore all of Hamilton. However, the staff and facilities are top notch if you’re in Hamilton for business or just wanting a private place to stay while visiting family/friends this is perfect

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.
