The excellent standards of cleanliness have been maintained since our last visit several years ago. Also handy location.The unit has fridge , crockery and microwave which allows self catering if desired.We like the fresh look of the building, obviously well maintained.Easy parking.Helpfull reception staff.

The motel itself was very pleasant. Its facilities were as expected, although being on the first floor meant restricted window openings - and it was hot during our stay. No aircon. A minor point. The major note - and one that, unfortunately, the Motel staff have little control over, was the surrounding noise. Both on Friday and Saturday nights there were very loud neighbours from the flats behind the motel. Friday night's fun was a drunk swearing and threatening to fill someone in at the top of his voice. Saturday night was three loud women repeatedly calling to a baby - around midnight! The road noise was also pretty full on. So, if you're not too fussed about peace and quiet - I'd happily recommend the place. However, if you do want to get to sleep before midnight on a weekend - perhaps consider somewhere else.

Bella Vista a thumbs up.

Although on first impression the Bella Vista dosen't look like much. The room was well equipped and comfy. The bedrooms were spacious and roomy. The cooking facilities are not much so only basic cooking available. The local shops are some distance away so make sure you have all you need. Overall it was a pleasant stay and will defently stay again.

Night away

Not sure if I was upgraded but wasn't type of room I booked. Booked a unit with a king bed and received one with two queens one in lounge and one in bedroom. Unit was clean and tidy. Being close to main road means get a bit of road noise. As we had a downstairs unit there was a bit of noise transfer from upstairs in the morning when trying to have a sleep in.

Nice and close to the Stadium

The booking process was very. However, a few days before our scheduled visit, I received a call from the hotel requesting payment bfore our arrival, even though the booking clearly specified we would pay on check-in. My sister's booking details also specificed she was in a wheel chair. On arrival, they had her on the first floor, with access by stairs only. They also had us at opersite ends of the motel. So not a great start. They were quick to resolve this for us which meant shifting a few quests to accomodate but it also meant my daughter and her frieds giving up a room that had 2 beds to a room with one bed, so they can be closer to the new room my sister was reallocated to. Staff were pleasant and quick to resolve but still not a great experience.

no hot water for shower and bath!

Terrible surprise to have no hot water when we wanted to relax taking bath or shower. The best we could get was just a little warm water. So we tried to use the jacuzzi with the heater function: Second terrible surprise, it spread out dirty water with hair and dust in the bath ! Giving up on the bath, we tried at least a quick 'fresh' shower, but as the shower head could not move, we had to receive the cold water in the face.. To finish the nightmare, when we wanted to sleep, we discovered that the window at the head of the bed had a gap, that let cold wind blow directly on our head .. The staff gave us a 20 % discount and explained that their plumber was in the process of fixing the water issue..from last week!.. but I consider a room should not be rent in this condition.. It seems this was the same for all the rooms ! The basic to expect from a room is clean bed and hot shower ..

The bathroom was large with a shower and a spa bath (which was nice and deep). Kitchen was great and we were just really happy with the room and service that was provided. Clean and tidy with fresh towels everyday. We even got a little Easter surprise left in our room! Hosts were more than helpful and accommodating. Would definitely stay again!

Super family friendly!

We had our 4 children with us aged 7 to 16 years. We found the two bedrooms were spacious and the lounge and bathroom were also spacious so we didn't feel we were packed in like sardines. The extra TV in the master bedroom and a lively spa bath were a bonus too! It was super clean and tidy and we'll equipped with enough glasses, plates, for six of us not the usual set of 4. Thank you, it made a stressful visit for us, much less stressful and even relaxing!

beds need work

This was great value for money stay, the location and the rooms were to notch, until you jumped in the bed. The bed was springy and firm without being soft. So with me tossing and turning my wife and I got no sleep and woke up with aches and pains. I think the bed is an over looked part of the stay, given you spend more time in the bed than you do in the shower, kitchen etc, and when you wake tired and grumpy.. no one wins. As a suggestion I think moteliers should spend a night in their own rooms from time to time to see what the customer see.

GREAT OVERNIGHT STAY IN HAMILTON

Was very impressed with the extra little touches, such a scented spray and liquid hand soap. My only criticism would be that the beds could have been better. But otherwise all good. Also think maybe a shower cap would have been a good idea as the shower head is fixed, very few women want their head under the shower. I always take one with me, so it wasn't a problem.
