Quantum Lodge Motor Inn
Great motel in good location, very clean and tidy. Would have been better if the pool was heated, but the spa made up for that.

Quest on London
Very big apartment that came with a few complimentary items in the fridge. Only downside is that the lift doesn’t go all the way up so have 1 floor of stairs to climb.

VR Hamilton
Over all it was a decent stay, the bathroom was very dated but clean. The room itself was quite large, with a lack of a living room space. Sheets on the larger bed did not appear freshly changed which was quite off putting
