Hotels Near Josh Tiessen Studio Gallery (Open by Appointment, Tuesday to Saturday) in Stoney Creek

I liked this place when I stayed few years ago, and it is still excellent. It's not too far off the highway. The room was in perfect condition, staff was friendly and it was a comfortable place to stay. It does not have free breakfast, but there is a Denny's next door. The upscale sports bar that is part of the hotel is excellent with great service. And if you need anything, there is a Walmart across the parking lot. I would gladly stray here again.

Another trusty stay at the local Hilton. This time I was here to use my coins and have a convenient place from which to launch two separate expeditions: first, to the Lit Live Reading Series at the Art Gallery of Hamilton; and, second, to my favourite local bar on James Street North. While I enjoyed some of the literary stylings at the first event, things were ultimately disrupted by an untoward event (the second of the past three months, if memory serves). Things took a similarly negative turn at the second establishment of the evening, although I suppose that was further inside the realm of the expected. At any rate, I survived, and the Hilton was there form me at the end of a hard day once again. There was also a heaping complimentary breakfast in the morning, which helped me transition back into a daily routine of (somewhat) respectable adult living. All of this was very much appreciated! (Although, in spite of the suite-lack amenities and fantastic showering experience[s], there was still [predictably!] no robe with which to complete my relapse into comparative luxury.)

I felt quiet and comfortable living here. The service was excellent and just right. It is a place worth recommending.

Great place great rooms. Very accommodating and even got my dog a couple of dog treats. Would stay here again.

I've traveled quite a bit and spent a lot of nights in hotels. Often a room will look good but then there are flaws in the room design or the furniture is uncomfortable or they went cheap on an accessory. Not here. The design and the details were spot on. Some examples. The TV was large with a good picture and a great selection of stations plus all the popular internet channels. The desk was large providing an excellent work space plus plenty of room for all the incidentals. The bed was very comfortable and had 4 good pillows. The air conditioner worked well and was not overly loud. The bathroom was typical in size but perfectly designed. Walk in shower with 2 heads (one was an overhead waterfall). The counter surface was large enough for toiletries for 2 people. There were hooks and hanging bars for towels in the right places. The room and entire property was super clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. All in all, this wasn't the fanciest hotel I have stayed in yet everything was perfect making this one of the most enjoyable hotel stays I have ever had.

I was in town to attend a convention and was given one of the newly renovated rooms. Kudos to the designers. All of the pieces are stand alone which should make for ease of upgrades in the future. The movable computer table tucked into the bottom of the shelf was versatile to use. The room had a good number of USB ports. The moveable bench under the entry wall mirror also gave extra sitting uses. The bathroom shower with the control at the entry to the shower was convenient. The refillable shampoos and washes was appreciated. Staff are friendly and accomodating. Even though there were ongoing construction activities, it had little impact on my stay at the hotel. The advance email reminders and advance check out options were efficent. An enjoyable stay. Will look forward to returning to see all of the upgrades.

I have never been a guest who complains about hotels. I travel extensively, and always find being pleasant is a better way to move forward with concerns. HOWEVER...this time was the exception. After a very long day on crutches, I arrived at the front desk and had to wait while the two guest agents continued to discuss some discrepancies the one had found in paperwork. It seemed they were trying to figure out where some money didn't add up. When they finally addressed me, as I stood on my crutches (broken leg in its 7th week of recovery), they were only barely friendly. We went through the usual reservation details, and by then I was visibly wilting and in pain from standing so long. When I was handed my room keys, I was directed that our room was upstairs and the stairs were pointed at. I asked if there was an elevator, and was told there wasn't. Fair enough...I could have researched that but didn't think of it. I asked if I could please have a main floor room since I was on crutches, referencing them with a gesture. Imagine my surprise upon hearing that there was none available -- in a hotel that size, on a Wed. midweek!!! I was flabbergasted. Still, I said okay, guess it was the stairs. Still, no apologies, offer of help, or even commiseration. Just moved back to talking about the paperwork issue! I shrugged and my son and I made our move to the stairs...only to discover we were LITERALLY in the second last room of the second floor!Not only that, our room was in the extension of the hallway down yet another hall! We not only had the longest walk and one already lengthy stair climb...but also had an ADDITIONAL five stairs to go to reach the extension hall!!! By the time I got to our room I was in tears from the pain. I have never in my life called the front desk of a hotel in an irate state, but I did that day. Called and let them know that I couldn't believe that this was the only room they could give me, that I was a Choice member but would never be back again, and that their service was appalling. They left me standing and waiting while they discussed something that could have waited, made no effort to offer a chair or expedite my registering, and gave me the farthest room they could ever have found. We were so upset we skipped the free continental breakfast the next morning and went out the stairs at the end of our hallway to save the distance walking. Just appalling. These two people were the worst guest service agents I have ever encountered. Frankly, someone needs to be fired.

Very easy to find, quiet and clean. Delicious breakfast!

No breakfast, but there are restaurants nearby
