VR Hamilton
Older hotel but clean and tidy. Our room was on the 2nd floor facing the road. A little noisy on Saturday until about 2am. Our next stay we will get a room facing Collinwood St. Room was very large with a double and single comfortable bed. Bathroom was alittle dated but clean and functional
