Wonderful

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.
Newer, clean hotel. Breakfast is very nice! Had a hard time using the streaming / casting feature on tv.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The staff and the room were excellent. I know that the hotel is fairly new as I had put a low rating for property.
The hotel itself was clean as well as our room.
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.

The breakfast team does an amazing job keeping on top of a busy dining area. Food was plentiful and a very good selection to choose from.
Underground parking excellent too.
Thank you to all who help keep this hotel immaculate! A pleasure to stay at!
Also very convenient location close to airport, restaurants and shopping.
