This motel is in a lovely part of Hamilton. It has a beautiful garden and is across the street from a beautiful cemetary with very nice walking trails. The rooms are clean but basic, with comfortable beds. Good location for driving to Ancaster, Tiffany Falls and other points of interest.

Very quiet part of Hamilton. Never stayed at a place like this. Parking was very convenient. Night staff was not very friendly. The morning gentleman that was running the end was very friendly

This place is simple and somewhat old, but the room was clean, comfortable, and very adequately appointed. A hanging closet would have been nice, though.

Haven Inn was located in a beautiful area. From the moment we arrived the staff greeted us, they were pleasant and friendly. No hassle checking in or out. Rooms were clean, and convenient for our needs. Lots of parking and a few restaurants around the area, and a convenience store down the street. If you are looking for an affordable place to stay I highly recommend. We will be returning again!!!

The room was nice and clean. And the price was great. We weren’t allowed to take the chair out of our room to sit outside. And in the sitting area at the back of the hotel, we’re awkward and nothing matched

The location and setup were fine, but I had a mixed experience with the management. One staff member was helpful and assisted with the check-in process and paperwork, which was appreciated. However, the other woman—who appeared to be the owner—came across as quite pushy and made the interaction feel uncomfortable. Her approach was more stressful than welcoming, which took away from the overall experience.

I had a room booked. When I arrived, my pet wasn't allowed to stay. When we made arrangements for my pet, I was told the room was taken and I could not stay. I have left a voicemail to get reimbursed the cost of the room, but have yet to hear back.

Good cheap place to stay if you want absolutely no amenities whatsoever. Saved me a lot of money but you get what you pay for. Probably would not come here again and spend a little extra to stay elsewhere.

You can expect a $100 deposit when you arrive which you will get when you leave. Be sure to go in and see them in order to get it back. Bring your own towels, shampoo and cream rinse. Bed was confortable.

We needed staff assistance with our door lock and television remote control. Their response was immediate and they were most helpful and pleasant to deal with. This is the 2nd time we've stayed at Haven Inn. Obviously our first experience was pleasant enough for us to book again.
