The property was clean enough, but looked like it needs a refresh. There is limited on site parking which was difficult to get in and out of. But the strangest thing was they lock the doors to the parking at 10 pm and do not open them until 7 am.

Big Room Old building
The rooms were very spacious as was the bathroom. Parking was restricted by which you had to have your vehicle in by a specific time and could not leave before a specific time. Not really convenient for the late arrivals and early starters. The lift was very musty smelling and needs serious attention. For that rate we paid kinda of expected more.

Big room very spacious comfortable beds but that’s it. Spa didn’t work, toilet didn’t flush properly, shampoo face wash hand wash all are same liquid. Tv didn’t work properly, couldn’t sleep at all due to the noice from night clubs surrounding . The room smells like an old trunk which has not opened for many years. I am so sorry to say all these but we will never book this again

Cheap and spacious
Lots of space. Good price. One of the bed mattresses was really bad, fully indented in the middle and really needed replacing, however the main bed was comfy enough, and the pillows were nice. Carpet was worn through but didn’t bother us at all. Great location close to the casino.

Great location, huge rooms, restaurant on site. Staff could work on their communication skills, and the website info bot needs to be more accurate with the info it provides, just saying there is parking available on a first come first served basis but neglecting to mention the $20 a night charge is very misleading! The main and BIG complaint is noise, both from the street and also from neighbouring rooms, there is NO soundproofing! You get to hear the TV from the room next door all night and the yahooing from the street outside, don't plan on sleeping!

The front staff member was very sexist and didn’t understand how a bond worked. He stated that my wife needed her husband as woman can’t park in their car park. He said the $150 bond would only have $130 returned in check out. Terrible!

4 nights at the VR Hotel Hamilton
My bed was made with a pillow inside, my toilet roll holder fell off twice, my toilet chain inside the tank came loose once, I had to duck to shower under the low shower rose, the list goes on, it’s a spacious hotel in a great location but it needs a boost.

The Beds offered a good nights rest (clean and comfortable). The Hotel is a bit run down - Has seen better days. Has dedicated parking - $20 for our 1 night stay. Booked Expedia for 3 people - only one queen bed in room!, paid extra for another room with and extra single bed which was a bit disappointing.
