VR Hamilton
Parking was a nightmare. Not too mention having to pay $20 a night just for parking. Really hard to get in and and when there's other cars. Hot water from the tap was so boiling hot i actually burnt my hand. Room was really spacious and bed was confidant enough. Didn't feel confidant having showers ...

The place felt old and tired. Rooms are in blocks feeling like a prison. Noisey, blood on spa. Parking atrocious flooded in morning reception not what I expected. Would not recommend.
