Hotels Near Bryan Prince Bookseller in Hamilton

I've traveled quite a bit and spent a lot of nights in hotels. Often a room will look good but then there are flaws in the room design or the furniture is uncomfortable or they went cheap on an accessory. Not here. The design and the details were spot on. Some examples. The TV was large with a good picture and a great selection of stations plus all the popular internet channels. The desk was large providing an excellent work space plus plenty of room for all the incidentals. The bed was very comfortable and had 4 good pillows. The air conditioner worked well and was not overly loud. The bathroom was typical in size but perfectly designed. Walk in shower with 2 heads (one was an overhead waterfall). The counter surface was large enough for toiletries for 2 people. There were hooks and hanging bars for towels in the right places. The room and entire property was super clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. All in all, this wasn't the fanciest hotel I have stayed in yet everything was perfect making this one of the most enjoyable hotel stays I have ever had.

I felt quiet and comfortable living here. The service was excellent and just right. It is a place worth recommending.

First off, we had booked our hotel months before we visited and had paid in advance on a credit card. One which were in the midst of closing out with our bank btw. Bad us for not realizing that you cannot use a Visa Debit for incidentals. I use my Visa debit everywhere without issue. Even in the US but not acceptable here. And paying cash is not acceptable currency anymore for hotels either. So after doing a lot of running around, that issue was resolved. Funny, they’ll take your money via Visa debit to pay for the room on the site ???? And we weren’t the only ones having an issue with checking in for similar issues. Then the room. Not worth the money we paid. Dull and dingy. Stained carpets, curtains look dirty. Completely weird set up. TV off to the side not in front of the of the bed? Bad part of the city too. Only good thing is that it was close to The First Ontario Centre which was very close as we were going o a concert. If we were ever to go to another concert in Hamilton, I’d drive the 45 mins to Niagara. Much nicer rooms at half the cost.

So happy with the small kitchen. The bed was also very comfortable. It would be better if the living room lights are brighter. Parking is convenient and free after registering your license plate number at the front desk. Breakfast is relatively simple.

We got married and chose this hotel to stay at - myself and my husband, and our bridal parties. We had an excellent stay! Check in was smooth, the hotel parking fills up fast but the parking pass works for spots outside that for the rest of the mall parking too. We stayed in the suite which was very clean and luxurious, perfect for getting ready the morning of. Club lounge access was great, breakfast spread was better than I thought with eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, yogurt, fruit and more. All fresh and well made, not like your usual disappointing hotel breakfast. Shoutout to the lady working there too she was lovely. We did our first look in the lobby on the grand staircase which was unplanned but ended up being perfect. The staff were all friendly and helpful, particularly housekeeping who found a few lost items we left behind after checking out. They held onto them until we drove back the next day. I so so appreciate this! Only complaint I have is with security who did absolutely NOTHING while my friend and I were being harassed by a strange man on the sidewalk with our bags. He stood there awkwardly while I yelled at the guy who thankfully was not dangerous but I expect security to be more effective. Overall would recommend! Thank you Sheraton Hamilton for a wonderful stay.

We were staying at the hotel for 1 night while visiting our sons in Hamilton. Check in was an unfriendly, bordering on rude experience. It definitely seemed as I was interrupting the desk clerk from scrolling on her phone. My husband and I were in separate cars & I arrived about 10 minutes before him. He had booked the room with a government of Canada rate, & because he (& his ID ) weren’t there yet, my daughters & I couldn’t check in. She was quite abrupt, just turned away, jumped on the counter & went back to scrolling on her phone. When my husband arrived, the other desk clerk was free, so we approached her. Again, she demanded his government ID to prove he was an employee. Now, I don’t know if this woman has been living under a rock for the last 3 years, but as he works from home, he does not have an ID badge. The government does not issue business cards either. He showed her emails, clearly addressed to his government work email address (only way you would have a .gc.ca email is if you’re a government employee, but that really seemed to stump her. She said “I don’t know all the government departments”. No one was asking her to! Anyway, in the end she “made an exception” & also “an exception” to allow the rate for both of our booked rooms, as she said only 1 room is allowed at the government rate…someone needs to tell that to the Marriot booking agent who booked the 2 rooms! I also know that a maximum 2 rooms are allowed. Not once through this exchange were either of us rude or demanding, but the clerk was miserable for no apparent reason. The hotel was good enough for the 1 night, though the location was not great. I’m sure there are better, more welcoming hotels in the area that I will be staying at the next time I’m in the area.

Amazing place to stay...always! Staff is friendly and helpful. All areas, especially rooms, are immaculate and very well-maintained. Excellent rates and location. Rooms are incredibly spacious. Only place we stay in Hamilton-about once a month for the last few years. Easy to get early check-in and welcomed upon our arrival. Bed and pillows are so comfortable. Hot breakfast included-good variety of food and drinks. Most definitely best place in town!! Highly recommend this hotel! Carmela P.
