Hamilton Hotels with Bars

Business travel can take you to many different places. This time, I ended up in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Check-in was easy and respectful. The team member was polite and helpful. My room was clean and had a slight scent of bleach. Given current health conditions running rampant, it was a reassuring. Housekeeping needs to fine tune their process to ensure all surfaces are cleaned well. The club room was disappointing. The offerings were paltry. The hotel restaurant offerings were good. The serving sizes were ample. The service at dinner was disappointing. The service at breakfast was very comforting. Overall, a good stay.

I've traveled quite a bit and spent a lot of nights in hotels. Often a room will look good but then there are flaws in the room design or the furniture is uncomfortable or they went cheap on an accessory. Not here. The design and the details were spot on. Some examples. The TV was large with a good picture and a great selection of stations plus all the popular internet channels. The desk was large providing an excellent work space plus plenty of room for all the incidentals. The bed was very comfortable and had 4 good pillows. The air conditioner worked well and was not overly loud. The bathroom was typical in size but perfectly designed. Walk in shower with 2 heads (one was an overhead waterfall). The counter surface was large enough for toiletries for 2 people. There were hooks and hanging bars for towels in the right places. The room and entire property was super clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. All in all, this wasn't the fanciest hotel I have stayed in yet everything was perfect making this one of the most enjoyable hotel stays I have ever had.

We were staying at the hotel for 1 night while visiting our sons in Hamilton. Check in was an unfriendly, bordering on rude experience. It definitely seemed as I was interrupting the desk clerk from scrolling on her phone. My husband and I were in separate cars & I arrived about 10 minutes before him. He had booked the room with a government of Canada rate, & because he (& his ID ) weren’t there yet, my daughters & I couldn’t check in. She was quite abrupt, just turned away, jumped on the counter & went back to scrolling on her phone. When my husband arrived, the other desk clerk was free, so we approached her. Again, she demanded his government ID to prove he was an employee. Now, I don’t know if this woman has been living under a rock for the last 3 years, but as he works from home, he does not have an ID badge. The government does not issue business cards either. He showed her emails, clearly addressed to his government work email address (only way you would have a .gc.ca email is if you’re a government employee, but that really seemed to stump her. She said “I don’t know all the government departments”. No one was asking her to! Anyway, in the end she “made an exception” & also “an exception” to allow the rate for both of our booked rooms, as she said only 1 room is allowed at the government rate…someone needs to tell that to the Marriot booking agent who booked the 2 rooms! I also know that a maximum 2 rooms are allowed. Not once through this exchange were either of us rude or demanding, but the clerk was miserable for no apparent reason. The hotel was good enough for the 1 night, though the location was not great. I’m sure there are better, more welcoming hotels in the area that I will be staying at the next time I’m in the area.
