There seems to be quite a few hotels in downtown Hamilton, and it is like only 1.5km to the uni.. not that Iâd walk it.
We stay at the Ventura Hotel in Hamilton. Its very nice and includes breakfast. From memory its under $100 per night or thereabouts. They're tolerant of us (or we've trained them) so running power cables out to the van doesn't completely faze them. Neither does stashing our gear under the stairs. Maybe it was the time we were there with the Police and took a new car apart.... However, they do still talk about the time we did a link from London to a pub in Wellington for an All Blacks game doing mid span EQ in the hotel room. There was only a couple of roadcases of gear in the room, honest. But it was very cool - we got to watch Sky rugby with an alternate commentary.
Iâm a little too old and entitled these days to stay in Uni accommodation ;-)
Nah - its good fun and brings back memories. However, last time I did forget the golden rule about always carrying your room key, especially when going to the loo in the middle of the night.
