Good - cheap option, quiet, easy parking, beds are clean and well made, good space for a one-bedroom flat, spacious bathroom and toilet Could be better - kitchen floor was not very clean, shelves and cabinets are old, some furniture need attention, shower pressure a bit low, bathroom ceiling had some mold Overall - good cheap option, would visit again if the issues above were addressed

Great stay as the area was quiet and the apartment was spacious. However, the cloth line was broken and the check-in was at a different place. The communication was great and we received reminders and directions & instructions for the check-in the day before.

For the price, was good value. Easy location to most of Hamilton. Old units but had everything. Would have liked some extra duvets or blankets - had to borrow off the spare beds. More than two coat hangers for the entire unit would have been handy.

Its ok for a night or 2.
It is outdated. Property condition in need of TLC parking a little tight. Room 1 is the better room to use with big families. But it is convenient to the stadium which is why we use these apartments. Reception staff very friendly. The only let down would be having to go to another hotel to check in. There is a $100 bond which you'll get back if there are no damages. And shower to high to climb into. Has all the facilities that you need kitchen, dining area, beds, bathroom and heatpump so not bad. Prices do go up a bit so i suggest to wait before doing an early purchase. Dont pay more than you need too.
