Believe the 10/10 reviews. This place was very well maintained. Easy check-in and out. The best bed and pillows I have slept on in a long time. Icing on the cake was being able to book a 30min private session in the spa pool. Couldn’t fault the stay and will definitely stay again.
The property seemed very new. Clean, bright, comfortable with nice extras— a free pass to the fitness center just a few yards away, free laundry services. The staff was exceptionally helpful and friendly. When we ordered a birthday breakfast for the room, the staff cam up singing ‘Happy Birthday’ with a piece of cake , candles and ice Cream. Ludi at the front desk was especially helpful. The food at the restaurant/room service was very very good.
Property was very well maintained, staff was very accommodating, the rooms were very pleasant. No complaints whatsoever.

Clean and convenient area for food and grocery. I did not expect it to be in a strip mall. Overall it felt clean and safe. Great for an overnight trip.
Good for a quick stop over. Clean, spacious room with a great menu for breakfast & dinner. Nice lake walk loop accessible on foot from the property.
Super service from all the staff. Very welcoming.
My only critique would be that the bath towels were thin and not very soft.
The location was ideal for our trip, close to the airport as well as the attractions we wanted to visit while in Hamilton, without actually staying in the busy airport area. We stayed here for 8 days and were really impressed by how beautiful, clean and well maintained the property was throughout our stay. The lake at the back added such a peaceful and scenic touch to the experience.
We had made a few special requests when booking, and every one of them was thoughtfully accommodated, which we truly appreciated. The staff were friendly, helpful and always willing to assist whenever needed.
Looking back, we are so glad we chose to stay here instead of closer to Hamilton airport. It gave us a much more relaxing and enjoyable experience overall. We would definitely stay here again on our next visit.
A special thanks to all the staff, especially housekeeping, for their hard work and kindness. You made our stay truly comfortable and welcoming.
Lovely room with a beautiful outlook over the serene hidden lake area. Tiny balcony but enough to be able to open door and let fresh air in. Reception staff were so friendly and helpful. Nice breakfast in lovely restaurant again with the beautiful outlook over trees and lake area. Handy to shops, restaurants etc
