I stayed at this hotel by chance. Actually booked in to stay at another hotel on the same street so I called ahead of time to inform them we would be checking in very late due to flight. Was told that check-ins after a specific time, you need to check in at Ulster (owned by same person). Not sure if this info was on the website, but if not, it should be. Also they take a $100 bond which they will return the day you depart, upon inspection of your room while you wait. We did leave a couple items behind but they weren't returned to us, which I thought was odd because you can see the inspection person going in and coming out of the room & they only indicated to the reception that the room was clean enough to return our bond. I called the hotel a day later when i couldn't find my items and they told me yes they were left behind in the room. Other than those points, the hotel room was clean, reception pple were lovely, both night staff and day staff.

Pro’s - Great location. Close to get grocery’s. Spacious rooms. Bedding and towels provided. Good if you just need somewhere to sleep and shower. Cons - Mattresses uncomfortable, not enough extra blankets so we used heater all night. Low water pressure, shower is half a metre off the ground (huge step to get in and out) and water doesn’t drain straight away so your standing in a few inches of water. Parking is very tight when full.

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

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It is outdated.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.

I have work in the hospitality industry and have travelled and stayed in a quite a few Motels/Hotels over the years This Motel was very disappointing, it was not worth the money we paid to stay 1 night There was no information book on the area, there was no information on how to work the TV etc. One of the single beds had a plague of ants in it On entering unit the bathroom floor was very wet with no warning sign. The shower was hard to get into as the step was very high, it did have a hand rail but it was still dangerous to get into, is not good for an older person. There was no spare blankets or pillows. The room was very clean and the beds were comfortable except we froze needed some blankets. Our trip to Hamilton was ruined because of our accommodation.

Bed was clean. That’s all I can say positive. Staff are managing 3 properties. I turned up and got sent to one not on my booking. I queried it and someone had checked into my room, so ok only a minute down the road by car. Went to room, checked it out, still ok, went to grab a takeaway for dinner. Came back, cannot get into room. Call reception, there is a problem, can I go and discuss. It’s 7pm, I’ve been up since 5am. They now take 40mins to sort out issue and when I say it’s annoying and I’m getting angry, they tell me I’m welcome not to stay - when everywhere is booked. These people are rude and stupid, and no doubt taking advantage of the many beneficiaries they are hosting - I feel sorry for those who have to live there temporarily. Videoed the room on exit, no telling what these sharks will do next. DO NOT PAY GOOD MONEY TO STAY HERE.
