Hamilton Executive Apartments
This property was very nice. We were comfortable. Check-in easy. Close to amenities. Everything we needed. Just one thing. Bed was comfortable, but needs updating in my view. Otherwise all was fine.

Breakfast was lovely, room was practical and the staff were lovely- one person went above and beyond by driving my friends to their hotel when they couldn't get an Uber after the event we attended
