VR Hamilton
Parking was a nightmare. Not too mention having to pay $20 a night just for parking. Really hard to get in and and when there's other cars. Hot water from the tap was so boiling hot i actually burnt my hand. Room was really spacious and bed was confidant enough. Didn't feel confidant having showers ...
