Homewood Suites Hamilton by Hilton

This was by far the best hotel I stayed in. I was there for the Black Sabbath show and from the hotel to the venue was a 5 minute walk. Understanding that the show was sold out and the hotel was practically sold out booking early was the right way to go. The website was thorough in detail on how to reserve your stay. Its hard to make judgement based on a one day stay but within that time, the staff were total rock stars. They explained the rates which was reasonable. My friend and I were blown away by the room and the view (12 floor) was spectacular. Hardwood floors, beds that were so comfy and felt better than my own bed. Absolutely love the contemporary décor. Definitely recommend this hotel
First time being in Hamilton and I hope it wont be the last. Great town.

Just strayed one night in a 2 bedroom suite. There was an excellent layout that provided plenty of space. The entire hotel provided a very modern look and was only a very short walk from many restaurants. Also there is free hot breakfast served daily and checkout is not till noon. Although a little pricey, I would highly recommend staying here

The star-​rating I am giving is 5 stars for masochists and 1 star for every other lifeform in the galaxy.
I think the Hooman known as Lemony Snicket must be the owner of Homewood Suite, because from the moment we checked in we felt like we were in a «Series of Unfortunate Events» novel (or was it the Twilight Zone?):
1. The swimming pool was out of commission for *3* solar cycles (days to you Hoomans) while the monthly maintenance and «levels were being adjusted». This wasn’t mentioned upon check-​in and was one of the reasons for staying here. As it was, it took me 2 days just to get a solid answer out of anyone as to what, exactly was going on and when it might be back online. So, essentially, there was no pool the entire time we stayed there. And seriously, how long does it take to adjust the levels in a goldfish-​bowl sized pool anyway?
2. The parking lot (which, of course, you pay to use) is poorly designed, highly space constrained and unusually cruel. Poorly marked lines, concrete walls /​segments everywhere just waiting for a over-​zealous door-​opener, and there were many, MANY nights when we LITERALLY took the very last available space. I don’t want to know what happens when you then they run out of room for their paying guests!
3. The elevator planning was clearly engineered by some sort of maniacal sadist. This fairly large hotel has a meager *2* elevator shafts. That’s it. TWO. And if you dare to use them in the morning until around 1PM, you’d might as well pull out some knitting while you wait for your turn. One morning it took us over 10 minutes to go from the lobby to our floor.
4. The ice machine had some sort of OS crash after the first night and never came back. We could have gone to another floor, if we wanted to lose days off of our total lifespan by using the elevators (see #3)
5. The Orwellian sensor guarding the laundry facility stopped accepting any key cards and we had to have a staff member let us back in to just collect our shiny spacesuits.
6. GOOD NEWS, EVERYONE! If you were looking for the galaxy’s hardest building material, it’s been found! It’s the cushions Homewood uses on their sofas! Perhaps they were designed by a fitness instructor so motivate me to not sit there for more than 20 nanoseconds. Either that, or it’s the sadist from #3 again!
7. Ah, there’s nothing quite like the smell of canine urine on the elevator floor pads in the morning… and afternoon… and evening… Seriously, can I be the only person with nostrils?
8. The free morning breakfast is ok… the first day… By the second day, you’re sick of it. By the third, you’d rather eat your own shoe.
Egads! If my «home» had so many issues, I would have burned it to the ground and collected on the insurance years ago!
Seriously, there has to be better places to stay in Hamilton… A GO train station? Sleeping in the street? Wait! I think I saw a Harvey’s fry container in that alley! Let’s shrink ourselves down and stay there instead! The convenience and FUNCTIONAL amenities will be about the same! :O

Spent 1 night here when we decided to get away and spend the day in Hamilton hiking and checking out the parks/​trails. We had the one bedroom suite and everything was immaculate upon our arrival. The front desk staff was very friendly and even made suggestions for places to visit.
Hotel itself is fairly new and conveniently located in Downtown Hamilton across City Hall. Both the restaurants we wanted to see were within walking distance and even has a Tim Hortons close by.
Breakfast was standard you would get at Hilton themed hotels. Will definitely return next time we decide to spend time in Hamilton again.

Breakfast and dinner is included. Nice layout. You have to pay to park in the parking deck. Gym has dumbell and good equipment. I been here 3 different time and I enjoyed my stay. Kitchen and refrigerator nice and modern. Everything here is nice and updated.
