Adequate
We just needed a cheap place to stay for 1 night on a road trip and this was adequate. Beds were too soft and room basic but bathroom was ok.

1. The shower outlet drained very slowly. 2. The shower has no door, so a lot of water went onto the floor in front of the shower, then slowly flowed across the floor to cover the rest of the bathroom. When I used the toilet in the night, I was standing in water. 3. The reverse cycle heater above the front door probably worked okay, but it's location in the short thin corridor to where it opens out into the rest of the room meant that the heat never really warmed the room well. We had it on 25 all night and the room was still cold the next morning.

The room we had was incredibly noisy. It was like sleeping inside a machine. I had the worst night's sleep ever there and I could not in all conscience recommend stay at this motel. It does, though, have a good restaurant and I would return to it for a meal.

Shower plumbing is blocked and could not have shower without shower floor flooding into bathroom. Milk in fridge door froze overnight despite it being on low. The toilet roll holder is at back of toilet, needing gymnastic moves to reach toilet paper. The towel holders stick out into the bathroom, poor hardware choice, are at silly position/height, potential accident for a child to walk into.

Lovely place to stay that is quite central and within walking distance to the shops, cafes and pubs. Very clean and spacious room. A couple of negatives unfortunately. The TV was too small. The bathroom bench space was minimal with little room to put your toiletries on. The shower had no door so water got everywhere and the fan wasn’t sufficient to draw out the steam so you couldn’t see in the mirror after your shower. The shower was a bit slippery too.

This property is quite dilapidated. The wifi is non-existant, despite it being offered. To see people sitting outside their rooms to use their mobile devices - what's the point. I didn't stay, as work needed reports which I couldn't complete. Drove an hour to Portland and had a great wifi reception there. Hamilton obviously doesn't. Though the staff tried to help, it didn't matter where I went. Lesson learned. I did the check out the room which was airy and clean with an average-sized bathroom. Pity would have liked to stay otherwise.

Amenities were very small with open shower which left water surrounding. Bed was aged with slump in the middle, good for the young but difficult for the elderly to ride the high. Clean and quite accommodation.

Best in Town.
Best place to stay in town. The restaurant is out of this world and books up fast so don’t expect a walk in. You can however sit at the bar and eat the same menu. There are around 4-5 tables. Impeccable service and food and the rooms are great. Excellent value!!!
