The staff member that greeted us on arrival was rather abrupt and unfriendly. The room was good. There was a note in the bathroom about it being slippery and we were very careful but I think providing a mat or a couple of bath mats would have helped. Particularly after a shower the entire floor was wet.

The rooms are tidy and a generous size. Location is great and we did expect a level of noise being right in the CBD but it was incredibly noisy and we barely got any sleep. We heard fights outside on the road in the wee hours of the morning. Such a shame because the hotel and facilities are nice and great for the price, shame Hamilton a night is so feral.
