JetPark Hotel Hamilton Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful"

VR Hamilton

10/10 Excellent

"My overall experience was very pleasant. From the outside, the building appears a little dated, but once inside, the atmosphere is completely different. The room was welcoming, comfortable, and had a homely feel, which made for a relaxing stay. The room itself was clean, spacious, and well presented. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. They were particularly accommodating when I asked for directions to Woolworths and were happy to provide guidance. One minor observation was that the lift had a slight odour at times, which made it feel as though there may have been limited ventilation. Additionally, while walking to my room on the second floor, I noticed some sections of the hallway flooring were a little creaky. It wasn't a major issue, but I found myself walking a bit more carefully out of consideration for other guests. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and appreciated the friendly service, comfortable room, and welcoming atmosphere. I would happily stay here again."
