“Our go to when visiting Hamilton! So close to everything. Always clean and tidy! Great amenities.”
We were visiting Hamilton but prefer to stay in Cambridge as it’s nicer and safer. Location is a great and just a short drive to the expressway. Very clean and tidy and the staff are super friendly.

“A very enjoyable stop over.”
The facilities were exactly as shown in the photos and the entire complex is very thoughtfully set out. The staff were very prompt to respond to my emails and communicated well. The pet friendly room and policy was clear and very reasonable. There was lots of space to exercise the dog safely and away from other guests. Plenty of well placed outdoor bins to handle the rubbish. It's well placed in terms of location and was very quiet.

The lodge was suitable for disabled guests. Slight lack of privacy with full length glass doors externally. Very pleasant, welcoming and helpful host.
