Very efficient check in. Dropped car off for valet parking late evening, gave time I intended to check out following morning. Car was waiting for me, no messing about. True 5 star.

Really nice hotel in Hamilton. The room was very clean and comfortable, and the staff were great. Within walking distance of lots of great restaurants. Our only complaint was the parking -- we were unable to use any of the parking spots allocated to the hotel, and instead had to find street parking (which was often also full). Other than the difficult parking, we'd definitely consider staying here again!
