The property is fairly new and there weren’t a lot of other guests so it was very quiet. Breakfast, as always, was really good and plentiful. Providing small “to go” bags is a wonderful extra, we were able to take a muffin and coffee/tea for the drive home which was appreciated
The staff was extremely friendly and made our stay very pleasant
Thanks for a nice stay/break!
What a great new hotel in Hamilton we were very pleased. Staff were helpful every time i needed help

Liked: Cleanliness
The hotel was very clean and the staff were very friendly. The food over in the restaurant in the Sheraton was very delicious. Basically across the street was Asia town with a whole bunch of Asian restaurants. It was lovely and if we’re back in Richmond Hill again, we will stay at that hotel.
Clean and modern. Decent breakfast. Suggestions: glasses in the bathroom (there were only 2 coffee cups), and bring back the individual shampoos, lotions, bar soaps, etc

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The hotel is modern and new. Staff are excellent. There is however lots of construction dust from the basement carpark present in the ground floor. Probably needs a see clean.

Everything is very clean and staff friendly and helpful
Our room was one of the cleanest rooms we'd ever stayed in. A nice selection of soft pillows. Great room darkening blinds. And a very nice breakfast buffet
It was in a great location. Lots of parking. Easy check in. Great hotel. We had a very eatly morning flight so didnt have a chance to check out the complimentsry breakfast so can comment on that. We only stayed 1 night for a concert but if i ever stay in Hamilton again I would definetly stay here.
