The hotel charge's you $150 up-front, not as a hold on your card. Front of house was underwhelming, there is graffitti in the lift, the decor is dated and musty. Simple place to stay for a night.

The car park was very small, i was lucky i was on a swift if i had taken my holden i dont think i would have been able to get in and out of my car if others had parked next to me. The elevator needs repairs and was really shaky going up and down. Bathroom in my room, you could see the grim on the floors rubbish left in the room under the landline phone. The view from the room was ok could see the night life. Staff are friendly

Nice little get away in Hamilton

The best thing about this hotel is its location...right in the thick of it within Hamilton's CBD. It's so close to the restaurants, casino, museum and river. Had a great lunch down by the river at Madam Woos. Yes, the hotel is a past its prime but the rooms are spacious and ours was clean. The price also was great compared to other hotels in the vicinity. There is no parking at the hotel when we were there, so we parked on the street, a Wilson's carpark facility is nearby for those who would prefer a more secure parking option.
