“Surprisingly good”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

My wife and I have had to go to Hamilton several times over the last while on some personal family matters. Couldn't get into the Crown Plaza the first time, so we ended up at the Sheraton. Based on some of the previous reviews, I was dreading it, but we had little choice. When we first arrived, the parking elevator was out of service, so we had to take the service elevator (after wandering through a maze in the sub-basement). I wondered if this was a harbinger of things to come.

It wasn't. The front desk people were very accommodating and friendly. The room was spacious, clean, and we had a wonderful view of the city. We had a couple of drinks at the bar (the Loft), and the staff were prompt and pleasant. Same thing for the restaurant where we had breakfast (great Eggs Benedict).

We went back again a couple of weeks later (parking garage elevator now working) and had the same positive experience. Well, close ....the room was much better.Bigger with a work desk. The front desk people said that this was a corner room. The bathroom was bigger too, and there was dedicated glassed-in shower stall, rather than the usual bathtub-shower hybrid.We had room service, and that was pretty good. Good size flat screen TV too.

Some notes about Hamilton. I was born and raised there, but left for Royal Military College in '69. Since then, I have been traveling and living all over the world. I recall having to go home to attend a funeral in 2002. I was horrified at how the city had deteriorated. Downtown Hamilton was dirty and desolate. Most of the stores were permanently closed. All that was open were doughnut shops and take-out pizza places. Jackson Mall, which is attached to the Sheraton, was 3/4's empty.

Things have changed for the better. There is more life in the city core, it is well cared for, and has some great looking restaurants and shops. I'd say Jackson Mall is about 90% full now, and my wife spent several hours shopping while I worked from the hotel room. She said she might even go back to Hamilton in the spring with a girl friend, because there were great deals and choices in the mall.

A minor gripe. The Internet access at the Sheraton is expensive, but that seems to be the trend with most hotels these days. Other than that, it is where we will be staying whenever we go to Hamilton. Highly recommend it

Room Tip: Get a corner room. They are bigger and better laid out.

“Another Great Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Stayed at the Sheraton to attend a function at the convention centre. Check in was quick, easy and staff very friendly and professional. Rooms were clean, quiet and bed comfortable. Had a drink and snack at The Loft, the ladies were friendly and attentive. Have stayed here on numerous occasions both with family and by ourselves and have always had a wonderful experience. Always our first choice when in the area.

“Cozy rooms with a trendy kick”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 January 2012

My friend and I stayed here in Feb 2011 to attend a 4 day review course in the connecting Hamilton Conference Centre since there was a group discount. I was wary from the Tripadvisor reviews, but ended up being pleasantly surprised.

ROOMS: We loved our room. Size-wise, it was fairly standard, but we found the beds/duvets wonderfully plushy and loved the contemporary upgrades in the bathrooms. We spent 2 comfortable evenings in, happily studying and watching movies - which I think speaks to the quality of our room. (My only caveat is that one person did experience bed bugs. Their room was changed right away with no further issues. There were approximately 100+ people with us, and this was the only complaint I heard about.)

SERVICE: Sheraton staff were affable, eager to please and professional. We had smooth service from check in, luggage holding, to getting us to the airport in one piece. There is a nice area upstairs with 10 or so new computers + printers for business use. Here, the internet is free whereas in-room access is $10 per day.

FOOD: The food was great. If you aren't venturing far, you will not be underfed. We ordered room service once - the delivery was prompt, the portions generous, and the food piping hot and delicious. There are two restaurants peering over the lobby: Chagall's was like an upscale Earl's and the lounge area serves casual bar-like food, but both were enjoyable and had great ambience.

LOCATION: We had to take a taxi from the airport since we needed to be downtown. It was a $15 ride. The attached mall gave us easy access to fast food, Starbucks, and a smattering of clothing franchises to pick up any items you might need. I would not consider it an thrilling shopping experience, but it was convenient. We explored about 15 blocks west of the Sheraton - some areas were quiet, there were people going about their business and maybe a couple homeless people, but never felt endangered.

Overall, I was pleased with this hotel. In fact, it exceeded my expectations because they have introduced increasingly contemporary stylings to a fairly traditional brand. I would be more than happy to return.

“Potential for much more”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 December 2011

In downtown Hamilton, attached to Jackson Square, shops and a market. Was expecting more from front staff, who could have been more attentive. The property charges for parking and internet service in the room. Parking was affordably priced and internet service was OK.
Nice fitness facility.
