What guests think

Reviews describe Residence & Conference Centre - Hamilton as budget-friendly, dorm-style suites offering simple two-bedroom layouts with kitchenettes, generally clean spaces, and very friendly staff, delivering solid value if you expect residence accommodations rather than a traditional hotel.

Guests often find the area quiet and convenient for driving, with free parking, though some note the lot can be a walk from the entrance. Suites are spacious and basic; bed comfort varies, lighting can be dim, and bathrooms feature small shower stalls with water that can be slow or inconsistent.

Wick check in but parking is long way away in spite of plenty of parking outside the front door. Shower curtain too short and no couch and tv only gets few channels with no news or sports.

Its a good concept which helps budget travellers or families with children. I suggest that the property provide P8 parking for guests, instead of P10 parking.

Nice place to stay during a road trip. Everything was nice and clean. There are big desks in the bedrooms, so that is convenient if you need to work. There is also a free parking onsite.

What I liked was that there was free parking on site. Easy to book online and see what you were getting. Check in was simple. However, our room was super hot, no AC. The kitchen sink didn't drain, had to wash the dishes in the tiny sink in the bathroom. The bathroom toilet was broken, and running water the whole time which was super noisy, and there was barely any hot water when showering or washing hands. I would have liked for a discount after my stay as I told the front desk, and they didn't offer any compensation for our stay of 2 nights. Probably won't be back if this is what you get.

Nice place to crash one night, fair price, super clean; easy check in/out. Two observations there; for the ones who are not really familiar should be nice to know clearly that it is a student’s residence and the AC was too high we froze the whole night even when the control was in off

Overall, it’s nice for the listed price. Laundry is not free and requires payment which is not listed on app. Cable/satellite was not available. Not sure if it is only in the unit that I was in or if this service is unavailable for the residence.

Basic, clean rooms at a fantastic price. Staff were fantastic, helpful and accommodating. Only downside was the unseasonally cold weather. Building maintenance had switched to summer mode, no heat.

The service was awesome! The rooms size and privacy was great. I liked how you have 2 rooms and they both share a common kitchen and bathroom. We got 4 rooms total, they were all very clean. The only thing we didn't like was there was a smell in all 4 rooms, some stronger than others. The smell was kind of a foot odour mixed with cleaner.

Split private rooms (2) with work desks and tv that can be used/accessed as an external monitor for work - great. Full refrigerator and dining room table with microwave - great. Would have been preferable if the shower had a door instead of a curtain. Water takes very long to get hot in the shower.

Good value for the money. It is actually a residence hall at a local college that rents rooms/suites during the summer. We got a suite with two bedrooms, a kitchen and dining area (no stove, but a 7cu ft fridge and microwave), and a nice bathroom for far less money than a comparable hotel. Our check in and conversations with Vera O'Brien were friendly and extremely helpful and made our stay there a bright spot in our trip. If we ever travel to Hamilton again, we hope to stay here.

The hotel wasn't exactly what we expected, but it was very clean overall. It was clear renovations had taken place recently. Expedia lists this as an "aparthotel" and "apartment" when it is actually a dorm room. The staff was extremely friendly. The room itself was very clean but lacked a coffee maker so if that is a morning necessity for you - bring one. All that aside, this is a DORM and not a hotel or even an apartment. If you are okay with that, enjoy your stay.

As long as you're clear this is a college residence, you'll find it to be a very nice college residence. The kitchen is just a fridge, microwave, and sink with counter plus a small table. You'll need to bring everything else.
