Everything was lovely at this hotel. Staff were excellent and because it is a new building, everything was fresh and clean.
There are some restaurants in walking distance, many more only a short drive away. It is a good central spot for visiting Hamilton.

Clean, staff was courteous, comfortable
Parking ramp to lower level requires concave mirror. Dangerous when you can't see the car from other direction.
