“This hotel strikes me as a practical choice in Hamilton, particularly for its location near the CBD and stadium. I appreciate that some rooms have been updated, and the pet-friendly policy is a genuine advantage for some travellers. While it might show its age in places, the location and updated rooms make it a solid option.”
