What guests think

Across recent reviews, travellers highlight TownePlace Suites by Marriott Hamilton for very clean, modern, and spacious suites with in room kitchens, and consistently friendly, helpful staff, making it a comfortable base for short stays and longer visits alike.

Guests appreciate the pool, small but useful gym, laundry facilities, and a patio with BBQs; the location is handy to highways and restaurants, but the tucked-away entrance and shared lot can make parking tight. Breakfast is generally well liked for variety, with recurring complaints about coffee quality, short hours, and occasional supply or staffing gaps. Some travellers report poor soundproofing, loud A/C, or blinds that complicate privacy and blackout. Housekeeping is not daily and communication about this can be clearer; plan accordingly for an otherwise smooth, convenient stay.

Had to change rooms because my room had silverfish. But staff was accommodating and the new room was great. The hotel is very clean. Parking is terrible as there is a sports bar that shares a parking lot and the evenings parking is extremely limited

Rooms were very well appointed and clean. The entire hotel was very clean and had good amenities. Lots of restaurants nearby and just off the Linc, so easy to get around. The only issue is it's in behind a restaurant and a store and not readily visible from the road so you have to know where to turn in or you will pass it. Needs better signage on the street.

Hotel looks brand new and was immaculate. Reception - great employees working there, so welcoming and always helpful. Only confusion was we asked for every other day a tidy up in our room (we stayed a week), and they came once on the third day and not again, so I kept having to ask for supplies. Then finally the cleaners came in to do a thorough clean, but we declined as we were leaving the next day as that didn't make any sense. Breakfast - the area was modern and comfortable and great use of space. Great continental breakfast with fresh hot and cold options. Shout out to Parnisha who worked there Mon-Friday mornings, who always had a smile on her face and was so helpful, even when she was extremely busy! Could perhaps use more staff/hands in the busy mornings as it was a challenge or them to keep up with filling/re-filling of items! Room - our room was spacious and bright and the king bed was very comfy! Liked having the kitchen, could have been stocked with more than 2 of everything, in order to use the dishwasher (had to wash by hand if we wanted to use again the same day). Pool - clean but small. I could still do some laps when it was quiet, but when kids came in there is not much room. Laundry - 2 washers and 2 dryers, and on a Saturday it was busy and I had to wait a while to use the machines. But was easy to access and get coins, etc. Overall - we really enjoyed our week stay at this hotel and would definitely recommend it! I give it a 10/10.

I've stayed here before and have always had a good experience except for this time. The service was great; however, the cleaner was slacking this time. The floor in my room was sticky, I had to keep my shoes on, the sink wouldn't drain and there was hair hanging from the towel rack. Not impressed.

This is my favourite hotel to stay when we are visiting Hamilton. The rooms are always clean. It is very quiet and a great location close to restaurants. I find the rooms a good size and parking is easy. Staff at the front desk are always so helpful and friendly every time we stay there and we have stayed multiple times.

RED FLAG - Privacy concern: there are 2 layers of pull-off blinds, one is blackout and one is light filtering, you cannot tell which one is closed if you don't check carefully, especially when it's dark outside. We checked in at 8pm, room only has the filter curtain pulled down, only found this out the next morning. With dark outside and lights inside, it's almost 100% see through, our room is at 1st floor facing the parking lot and restaurants - this was never reminded by the front desk or anywhere; Very little sound proofing: Walls between rooms appear to be just drywalls, we could hear easily the next door room's talking, TV, coughing, etc.

We stayed two night. This property was fantastic. We had a room with two Queen beds and a kitchenette. Spacious. Quiet. Clean. The morning breakfast was great. And we had dinner across the way at Shoeless Joe’s. Highly recommend. Finally, the cost through expedia was a great value for what we got.

Room not as promised but this isn’t why I was so unimpressed. Staff so slow to respond to requests (towels and hairdryer) that we had to make them multiple times. Breakfast was not terrific (everything prepackaged and highly processed and no cut fruit after 7:30 any of the 3 mornings). Staff could not even manage a perfunctory apology. There are better places to stay in Hamilton and we will.

Stayed for two nights at the hotel. The facility looks and feels brand new. Rooms were in great condition and very clean. Every single staff member interaction was absolutely outstanding. From check-in to late night snack getting service was outstanding. The hotel says their policy is anything less than 8/10 is a fail and you can tell this isn’t just a statement but a value that they hold themselves accountable to. My visit was 10/10. I frequently stay in hotels and rarely leave a review. In this case I felt the entire team deserved recognition for a fantastic stay and experience.

Location

Handy to the Lincoln Alexander Parkway, Hamilton airport, hospitals, and numerous restaurants. The entrance is tucked behind other businesses with limited visibility, and shared-parking and views of lots are common drawbacks.

Hotel is lovely - staff friendly. However, location is terrible. Behind a Shoeless Joe's restaurant with shared parking lot and room views are of parking lots (mine faced an auto garage). Served my purpose (near hospitals in Hamilton) but not a great area if you're looking for a nice place with nice views. Inside of hotel - great. Outside - nope.

This hotel was very difficult to find, particularly at night. It says it is on Upper James Street. However, it was not readily visible from the street. Instead it is "hidden" behind a business called "Factory Shoes". There was no sign whatsoever on the main street to identify the property. We had to stop and asked two gas-station attendants for help to get to the property.

Great stay, very friendly staff. Downside - breakfast hours - while OK for business, a bit too early for family vacation 6:30-9 weekdays, most hotels are 6:30-9:30. Breakfast itself was OK, adequate. However, coffee was horrendous. Both machines seemed to add water. Definitely something that should be improved.
