I had no complaints about my stay, staff at the front desk were super nice. Room was clean, only thing I would say is the outside parking is a bit tight, basement parking was surprisingly spacious and easy to get around.

Very close to the airport in Hamilton, very clean and modern. Bed was great. All staff were nice and helpful. I stayed for 1 night. My flight was so early I did not get to try the included breakfast . I will stay there again the next time I am in the area . Great value.
