The bathroom facilities were very good but I found that the bath was very slippery and quite dangerous when you had to walk to the other end to have a shower. I also had a bit of trouble getting out of the bath after shower as you had to walk to the opposite end again and it was even more slippery having to stand on one leg to get over the edge of the bath which was quite wide. I mentioned this to reception and suggested some sort of anti-slip bathmat be available for older customers especially/

Was good value for the price until trying to have a shower. Running hot water was a mission and involved calling the assistance of front desk staff. It was found that the basin hot water tap required to be run in order for hot water to be available at the shower. Was hilarious solution but worked. 😂 Very tired hotel but clean and serviceable otherwise.

A grand old hotel, huge rooms, but past its heyday. Charged an extra $20 for a shockingly tricky car park. At one minute past 10am we were locked out of our room. Very convenient for local restaurants etc.

Second time staying here and my husband and I got to use the exact same room we wanted at request which was great. The facilities are quite basic but it's value for money if you're mostly planning to go out to the nearby shops, restaurants, the casino or other places in Hamilton CBD and then want a lovely bed to sleep and relax in later. It could use a bit of a better cleaning service as we noticed a lot of built up dust behind the bedside tables but otherwise the sheets, bathroom & towels were all lovely & definitely sanitary. The decor of the VR is also quite beautiful with the high ceilings & color pallete. Thanks again for another wonderful stay.

The back entrance to the property was dirty and revolting. The hallways were unclean towards the main desk. Staff were friendly. The room smelt of stale smoke and was not welcoming. Corridors had no air movement and weren’t pleasant smelling. Holes in doors, torn carpet. The elevator needs repairing and the staircase was unclean, smelt awful.
