We had a great stay at the Hamilton hotel. Lovely comfortable suite. Very welcoming, especially Tony at concierge who was so helpful and provided us with lots of information to get around the city. Very nice restaurant on site. Would definitely recommend a stay here. We will be back.

The concierge Tony went way above and beyond, scheduling us for a tour of the capital building, and walking us out to where the circulator bus would pick us up. It’s this sort of thing that makes a trip really memorable.

Hamilton is a classic old hotel in a great location with a good price. The facility was very clean and everything worked well. The bed was comfortable, the curtains kept the light up, the Internet worked, the temperature was about right and the chair and desk was satisfactory. So no real complaints.

Stayed for 5 nights and had a good one! Great location on the corner of 14 NW and in close proximity to all the key places to visit. A good bed to sleep and daily service - just what you need for a peaceful stay away from home Could have had better room amenities

I have stayed in this hotel many times but this was by far the worst. The room they had me in 1443 was noise from the air conditioning and moldy smelling. The walls are dirty and the floor boards are falling apart. This place is not maintained and not clean. The hotel restaurant has very little variety and charges a lot for the items on the menu.… Read more
I have stayed in this hotel many times but this was by far the worst. The room they had me in 1443 was noise from the air conditioning and moldy smelling. The walls are dirty and the floor boards are falling apart. This place is not maintained and not clean. The hotel restaurant has very little variety and charges a lot for the items on the menu. They also close at 10 PM. This is a bit early but I guess its a way for the place to save a dollar or two. The bed was ok and I don't have any complaints. The desk however was not good. Very small and the chair totally uncomfortable. There is a tiny couch in the room that I would not dare touch. It looked dirty. I checked out a day early because the AC system was so bad I ended up with a sinus infection. The front desk manager tried to charge me a early departure fee of $289. I ended up asking for my key back and I just went home a day early. I would look for a cleaner place or bring your own cleaning supplies. Read less
