Best experience I have had at a motel in Hamilton.
Props the the team for running a tidy and professional ship.
Will be staying again on my next work trip down.
Super clean and everything in immaculate condition. Friendly welcome. Left my husband lying in bed with toast and coffee while i walked 5 minutes up to my hospital appointment. Love this place.
10/10 would recommend staying at the Argent! Outstanding customer service and the room was very spacious, incredibly clean and had everything you need. Can’t fault anything, will definitely be staying here again on our next trip to Hamilton.
