For an overnight stay with a late check in, early checkout, it was fair
Pros:

For the price the room was adequate, it was clean and the bed was comfortable. There was a lot of noise from the refrigerator in the room. We were going to Waikato Hospital so the location was good and since we were just sleeping there, it was fair. However, I would not stay there again

Cons:

The entire hotel was like a rabbit warren and in desperate need of updates from the carpet to the colour and paint on the walls to the chairs at the reception area.

Different and would recommend choosing elsewhere on a Friday or Saturday night.
Pros:

Room was just OK. Location was great with respect to other eating establishments, Museum, major shopping and Hamilton's well deserved Gardens. However it is on the main street.

Cons:

1. Main street location and on a Friday and Saturday night, till very early next morning there seems to be a competition among the young male drivers (who appear to be either or both intellectually deprived or personal appendage deficient) to see who can make the most noise with their engines, tyres, exhausts or incredibly loud "music" amplifiers. This noise commenced as it got dark and continued until 2 to 3 am. There appeared to be no control by anyone, police, Town authorities, local business owners, over it.

2. The second morning of our stay when we went to breakfast we were presented with a very strange choice of hot food. Honey Glazed Ham, Cajun Fried Chicken, Creole Scalloped Fish and Lemon Sauce, Beef Bourguignon, Roast Chicken with Creamy Cranberry Sauce, Mixed vegetables, Pulled Pork Mac and Cheese and Scrambled eggs. Gone were the usual bacon, tomatoes, hash browns, mushrooms, baked beans, small sausages. Other patrons noticed the odd offering and when asked of the staff what was this about seemed unfazed and mentioned it was a special Mothers day offering! Other staff also commented that it was odd but no explanation or apologies were provided. Needless to say our breakfast was not much more than cereal and milk that morning.
