Great hotel in Hamilton
Pros:

The location is perfect, the staff were amazing and the breakfast was excellent. The room sizes are small but sufficient for our needs. Rooms come with two singles but you can push them together for a double

Cons:

There were kids running around late at night but once we told the staff they told them to stop it immediately

Convenient location
Pros:

Location was great $42 valet service was convenient, interior surprisingly modern. Room was clean and modern too. Shower could use an upgrade - needs a removable shower head.

Cons:

We got two twin beds pushed together to make a queen. No topper so you could feel the centre where the two beds met. This was uncomfortable.

Pros:

前台服务既不过分热情，也不过度寒暄，而是跟着我们的节奏走，充满善意。我们晚上九点多抵达，还以为酒店提供免费停车场，但实际需要缴纳四十二纽币停车费，代客泊车。我觉得贵，打算看看路边停车场费用，发现街上有流浪汉，而且距离酒店近一些的停车缴费机无法缴费，最终还是回到酒店。前台服务依然温暖亲切，让我安心。
