Room was fine but the mattress was horrible. I’ve stayed at this hotel over the past seven years when I travel to Hamilton and this was the worst night at this location. That mattress should be thrown out. By the time I got myself settled and into bed it was after 1:30 AM and it was not an appropriate time to request a room change. I did bring it up to the person at the front desk when I was checking out and they were surprised, but at the same time didn’t even care enough to offer some sort of compensation. A little bit apathetic to be honest. I also was very surprised to see a security guard, walking around the lobby and sitting in the front lobby. If something‘s going on, it’s not a good sign. I will reconsider booking this hotel for future trips.

Not recommended

The staff was extremely rude and even refused to greet or communicate. The ground floor felt like a basement. While the room appeared clean, the refrigerator and coffee pot were practically unusable. Most importantly, the attitude of the front desk staff was highly problematic. I came here because of the high ratings, but I would not recommend this place.

I booked a room for my brother, myself, and my two nephews for Saturday. I wanted to pay ahead so that it was an easy check in, so I called ahead on Thursday. The staff member I spoke with over the phone informed me that my card would be charged on the Friday for the cost of the room, which it was. However, when I arrived on Saturday, I was told I had to pay an additional $200 deposit on top of what I'd already paid. The concierge was incredibly unwelcoming and unsympathetic to the situation. Fortunately, I was refunded (still waiting for the money to go back on my card but that's due to my bank) and we were able to use another credit card to pay for the room. There's also no breakfast included and I wasn't informed by the concierge what time breakfast ended. They just said we could eat in the restaurant. The hospitality staff were the nicest staff members we interacted with in the entire hotel. They stayed open late and offered to serve us breakfast as long as we ordered quickly. The concierge in the morning was more accomodating, allowing us a late checkout, but still not friendly. I didn't feel welcomed at the Visitors Inn and I would not stay here again or recommend it to anyone else. I also didn't love staring at a United States of America flag that was posted outside my window.

Both sides of the hotel face toward the high way, so very noisy. If you are sensitive to the noise, it’s not a good choice. The staff is very nice, empathetic and helpful though.
