I stayed here for a retreat and it was a good spot for it. They were doing some construction though so it got noisy at some point but it wasn’t too bad. Loved the room and the shower. Got to watch some foxes play around, so that was fun. A more diverse breakfast spread would be great though.

I've always trusted Holiday Inn Express hotels. This one had problems. The dark shade in the room was broken which caused excessive light in the room at night. In the morning the shower did not work and neither did the toilet. I called the front desk with no answer.

It’s just far enough out of the way to be troublesome if you are wanting to explore all of Hamilton. However, the staff and facilities are top notch if you’re in Hamilton for business or just wanting a private place to stay while visiting family/friends this is perfect
