I always stay at the Norton in Hamilton, it's modern and clean. Having a kitchen is great and daily housekeeping is a bonus.
Very good value for money.

I’ve had such a positive experience staying here, and I’m already excited to be coming back again in
Pros:

We had a lovely stay here. Our room was warm and inviting, and the bed was incredibly comfortable after a long day. The hotel is in an easy-to-find location, which makes everything stress-free. Whenever I come to Hamilton, this is always where I choose to stay.

Cons:

The only downside I’ve experienced is that some guests can occasionally be noisy, with slamming doors or heavy footsteps. However, this has only happened once in all the many times I’ve stayed here, so it hasn’t put me off returning.

Fabulous stay enjoyed the efficient and friendly check in, wonderfully modern and clean apartment, secure parking and ab
Pros:

Very clean, easily accessible, car parking was safe, shower pressure excellent, facilities excellent

Cons:

We were in a downstairs apartment and the person above had very heavy footsteps so it was noisy and the doors were heavy so they slammed loud when people opened/shut them from 5am. However a door stopper would help keel doors open and a friendly sign to consider other guests when shutting doors.
We stayed in Unit 2 and it was excellent. Suggestions - as there is no full bathroom cabinet a shelf on the empty wall in the bathroom would be extremely helpful to place bathroom things on and a mirror in the bedroom or open plan area would be helpful also for guests.

Value for money, clean, comfy, and convenient. Little bit noisy, and beware of early checkout time!
Pros:

Great location - easy walk to FMG Stadium, and Speights Alehouse for a meal before the rugby.

Comfy bed, nice and clean.

Double glazing kept out traffic noise from busy main road. Easy onsite parking.

Cons:

Last time we stayed we had cleaners knocking on the door at 9am. When I checked the booking info it said check out says between 9-10am. Industry standard is generally 10am, so would suggest reviewing this.

While there was little traffic noise from outside, interior construction is quite thin, so it was very noisy from people talking, walking down hallway, and doors opening/closing etc.
