The rooms were a bit of a disappointment. The single bed wasn’t level. The rooms weren’t made up or even tidied. Average at best.

Ok for short stays on a budget

Pros: Location is great! Free parking. Free WiFi which was a decent speed.
Cons: Some of the tiles on the kitchen floor were loose. There were no instructions on hot to checkout (and the office was closed). Decor could be updated.
Location: It is close to town and the stadium, and easy to get everywhere.
We stayed for one night in February 2018. Our host was friendly on arrival, even though we interrupted him at dinner. Our room was dated but very clean. The towels that were supplied weren't matching, but were incredibly soft! We were surprised by how quiet the room was, considering we were next to the main road and the windows are only single glazed - we barely heard any traffic except a couple of extremely loud cars. The bed was comfortable and clean. There were a couple of things which let it down - there was no information in the room about either the business, or the local area, such as restaurants nearby etc. and when we went to check out just before 10am, the office was closed with a sign giving a cellphone number for urgent queries. We didn't know what to do with our key, so just left it in the room. There is definitely room for improvement, and the rooms could be updated quite easily, but it was OK.

One night only but quite comfortable

Pros: Comfortable with a nice big bed which I need due to my height
Cons: Just a little attention to detail such as checking number of dishes
Location: Close to the town - didn't need any activities so can't comment
Were in Hamilton for one night only and seemed to have booked the last room available in town. While we were there at least four people were told that they were full as were all others we could see while heading into town. The room was comfortable enough but the ceiling fan wobbled around if not on full. The room was set up for three people but there were only dishes for two - cereal plate for one only. Otherwise no problem and we were quite comfortable. The man on reception was happy to come to the room to sort out how to use the TV for us and was unhappy the next morning to discover only the one plate. Evidently some rooms are bulk booked for groups and dishes get moved around by occupants but he was apologetic
