Independent in Hamilton from AU$90

"Clean, comfortable rooms. Lovely place to stay with the family. Looks good even in the rain. Different temps for the pools to keep everyone happy. Fast check in and check out. Family friendly, good location. Only recommendation is - Book ahead at the restaurant if you can as we missed out on the Steakhouse."

"We called this room our "Star Trek" room as the tech in the room was quite amazing. The location was a bit off the beaten tourist track, but that was part of what we liked about it. Amazing view, close to the boardwalk on the water, exceptional staff and very comfy bed. Would stay here again!"

"We arrived early and the very friendly receptionist allowed us to check in. Our room was on level 5 facing the harbor, it was interesting watching the ships enter Newcastle Port. There is car parking under the building with an overflow outdoor section. Our only issue was a very small room fridge without a freezer. The bar staff gave us ice when we asked for it. All of the hotel staff were polite and professional. "

"Great service and beautiful facilities."
