By far the worst motel...
Liked: Despite being only 15 minutes from the airport, there wasn’t a single other thing I could say I enjoyed about this motel. There are plenty of other accommodation options at a similar distance — if not closer — to the airport. I would never stay here again and strongly recommend against booking this place.
Disliked: I genuinely believe this place should be demolished. From the moment I checked in, it was clear things were off — soaked mattresses lying in the courtyard in the rain, garbage bags scattered out front of rooms, and several suspicious-looking people wandering around.The room itself was appalling. The door was swollen and stuck, and as soon as I entered, I was hit with a stench that burned my nostrils — a mix of stale cigarettes, vomit, and the unmistakable presence of vermin. It was immediately obvious the room hadn't been properly cleaned or maintained.The paint was peeling everywhere, and it looked like someone had started a paint job but never finished. The shower curtain, bizarrely stapled to the wardrobe, was stained. The cupboards didn’t even have handles.Fleas were rampant, I woke up with bedbug bites and cockroaches crawling all over the room — even in the bed. It was absolutely revolting.To make matters worse, a loud, obnoxious family stood outside my door talking all night. Thanks to the paper-thin walls, I heard every single word of their conversation.Hands down, this was the most unpleasant and disappointing accommodation experience I’ve ever had. Avoid at all costs.

Won’t be back there..
Liked: Felt like a half way house.First room was disgusting. Holes in the doors, drawers with no bottom, smelly. Moved to another room that was better but still not worth it.

NEVER STAY HERE
Liked: Nothing
Disliked: This was the worst hotel experience I’ve ever had. The room was extremely dirty, and the doors were broken. The wardrobe had a disgusting smell, and there were mouse droppings everywhere. The whole place was full of dust and filth. When we turned on the air conditioner, it released a horrible odour. The toilet was completely black, and the bathroom was covered in mould. I couldn’t even take a shower or stay in the room. I was afraid of getting sick, so I had to book another hotel for that night. People had smoked in the rooms, and they even covered the smoke alarm with a plastic bag. I’ve never experienced anything this outrageous. I absolutely do not recommend this place to anyone

Disappointing
Disliked: The milk in the fridge was out of date, no soap in the shower, very noisy neighbours. Room definitely needed cleaning and some TLC.

Wish I read previous reviews,
Disliked: Towels stained , had cops knock on my door looking for someone, carpets stained, very poor facility and it's a shame because it's in hamilton.
