Good stay
In particular the Nepalese head of the restaurant was delightful - she was so helpful. Our only thoughts were the corridors to the bedrooms seemed very dated not the usual standard for Novotel .

This is still the safest bet in Hamilton for a business hotel. It is not run down in any way. But it does looked dated - a 90s design ethos. My only real complain is the food, which is bland and unsophisticated. They could really do with some excellence in the kitchen.
