Another trusty stay at the local Hilton. This time I was here to use my coins and have a convenient place from which to launch two separate expeditions: first, to the Lit Live Reading Series at the Art Gallery of Hamilton; and, second, to my favourite local bar on James Street North. While I enjoyed some of the literary stylings at the first event, things were ultimately disrupted by an untoward event (the second of the past three months, if memory serves). Things took a similarly negative turn at the second establishment of the evening, although I suppose that was further inside the realm of the expected. At any rate, I survived, and the Hilton was there form me at the end of a hard day once again. There was also a heaping complimentary breakfast in the morning, which helped me transition back into a daily routine of (somewhat) respectable adult living. All of this was very much appreciated! (Although, in spite of the suite-lack amenities and fantastic showering experience[s], there was still [predictably!] no robe with which to complete my relapse into comparative luxury.)
Business travel can take you to many different places. This time, I ended up in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Check-in was easy and respectful. The team member was polite and helpful. My room was clean and had a slight scent of bleach. Given current health conditions running rampant, it was a reassuring. Housekeeping needs to fine tune their process to ensure all surfaces are cleaned well. The club room was disappointing. The offerings were paltry. The hotel restaurant offerings were good. The serving sizes were ample. The service at dinner was disappointing. The service at breakfast was very comforting. Overall, a good stay.
We were staying at the hotel for 1 night while visiting our sons in Hamilton. Check in was an unfriendly, bordering on rude experience. It definitely seemed as I was interrupting the desk clerk from scrolling on her phone. My husband and I were in separate cars & I arrived about 10 minutes before him. He had booked the room with a government of Canada rate, & because he (& his ID ) weren’t there yet, my daughters & I couldn’t check in. She was quite abrupt, just turned away, jumped on the counter & went back to scrolling on her phone. When my husband arrived, the other desk clerk was free, so we approached her. Again, she demanded his government ID to prove he was an employee. Now, I don’t know if this woman has been living under a rock for the last 3 years, but as he works from home, he does not have an ID badge. The government does not issue business cards either. He showed her emails, clearly addressed to his government work email address (only way you would have a .gc.ca email is if you’re a government employee, but that really seemed to stump her. She said “I don’t know all the government departments”. No one was asking her to! Anyway, in the end she “made an exception” & also “an exception” to allow the rate for both of our booked rooms, as she said only 1 room is allowed at the government rate…someone needs to tell that to the Marriot booking agent who booked the 2 rooms! I also know that a maximum 2 rooms are allowed. Not once through this exchange were either of us rude or demanding, but the clerk was miserable for no apparent reason. The hotel was good enough for the 1 night, though the location was not great. I’m sure there are better, more welcoming hotels in the area that I will be staying at the next time I’m in the area.
Amazing place to stay...always! Staff is friendly and helpful. All areas, especially rooms, are immaculate and very well-maintained. Excellent rates and location. Rooms are incredibly spacious. Only place we stay in Hamilton-about once a month for the last few years. Easy to get early check-in and welcomed upon our arrival. Bed and pillows are so comfortable. Hot breakfast included-good variety of food and drinks. Most definitely best place in town!! Highly recommend this hotel! Carmela P.
I liked this place when I stayed few years ago, and it is still excellent. It's not too far off the highway. The room was in perfect condition, staff was friendly and it was a comfortable place to stay. It does not have free breakfast, but there is a Denny's next door. The upscale sports bar that is part of the hotel is excellent with great service. And if you need anything, there is a Walmart across the parking lot. I would gladly stray here again.
