It was a very nice hotel. The hotel pool and room were extremely clean and felt very luxurious nice amenities like ice and water also a well stocked vending machine will definitely stay again was lucky to have the pool room to ourselves during the day and was happy to see even though the hotel is smoke free there are spots on the property further away from the hotel to smoke

I will say that the hot tub and pool are usually above average. This stay I was extremely sad to say it didn’t look like the pool/hot tub area had been cleaned. It seemed ok until I got in and noticed the about of dirt around the water’s edge.

We stay here several times a year as it is convenient to taking our daughter back to University. We usually don't have time to use the pool but this stay we did. Most hotels we've stayed at have very small pools but this one is nicely sized. They also have a hot tub and dry sauna. I nice way to unwind after a long drive. Will make sure to make time to use these more going forward.

Very clean and spacious rooms. Staff were friendly and approachable. The hotel was quiet and close to food/grocery stores. The pool was rented out during the day for a life guard class (which we thought was odd), so access was a bit limited…but this didn’t impede our stay! We enjoyed this trip and would highly recommended the Visitors Inn!

The bed was damaged, with a large divot in it making it very uncomfortable to sleep in. There was some mold in the shower, and a strange smell from the bath soaps. Also, the room I was in was very close to the laundry area, and had very poor acoustic insulation, so it was quite loud at night. I don't know if it was just the one room with these issues; the rest of the hotel seemed clean and well-kept, and the staff themselves were friendly and helpful.

A relatively clean building, but the smell of the room was very overpowering. I didn’t know if it was because it was cleaned well or if it was covering up a smell. The age of the amenities are showing. The bed was comfortable. It was a bit difficult to regulate the room temperature. It was decent for the price and close to McMaster Children’s Hospital, but I would opt to stay elsewhere next time.

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.

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.

Booked this hotel for its close location to McMaster hospital. Staff was great but overall a little underwhelmed for a couple of reasons. No blackout curtains (travelling with a baby and nap/bedtime was impossible), restaurant and bar was closed on Tuesday. Lack of security cameras around back side of building (exterior door was in room) and no swing lock. Advertised on Expedia as included breakfast and a crib in room, we did not receive either. We checked out by 7am maybe breakfast started later? Hotel also did not have any extra pillows, not even 1 extra. Clean hotel but we had hoped for a little more.
