Aspen Manor Motel

dated but tidy rooms room stank when we first arrived but cleared quickly and i realized it was the smell of the room heater which cleared after an hour

The property is dated and needs some tlc.

We paid $238 for one night which included: strong mould smell as soon as you open the front door, mould covered furniture with a sheet placed over the top, blood spots on the mattress, rotting door frame, unclean microwave, only one chair at dining table and it was not clean, mould in shower, hand soap directly next to power socket, exposed bathroom fan, no face cloths, uneven flooring (that our littlest tried to slide down), 2 mugs for 4 person room, reception staff member was there for a very short time, graffiti in several spots of property. There are security cameras but they have spiderwebs over the lens. I trusted Expedia's overall rating but will look closer at reviews next time! Expedia you even advertise it as 'great for families' which it is not! Photos are very inaccurate.

Affordable for an overnight stay; close to Hamilton East shops

Not air conditioned, poor quality fittings, bed side lamps not working, no amenities.
