Very nice staff. Quaint pretty entrance and location. Parking is free and convenient. Beds comfortable. Hot breakfast included and it was very good and the service was excellent. Odd that the paying hotel guests cannot use the onsite restaurant and pub?? Did not appreciate this as would have liked to stay on site to eat as we had a long drive. Overall was a great stay for the value. Would stay again

Weekend getaway
Very nice place room very clean quiet. Breakfast was great lots of options, service prompt. Great lounge area with comfortable seating where we played cards with family members, although the air conditioning there not so good. The air conditioning worked very well in our room only thing is that the room was very damp would suggest they put in dehumidifiers.

The rooms were clean and quiet but do need some very minor maintenance, the staff are very friendly and the hotel is in an excellent area for access to attractions and the downtown. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again and I would recommend it to anyone looking to stay in Kingston

Stayed 1 night, first time. Wasn't sure what to expect but we were impressed! Service was extremely friendly and efficient, room was not fancy but the bed was comfortable, good shower and A/C. The best part was the delicious (free!!) breakfast buffet: Real eggs, french toast, fresh seasonal fruit, potatoes, yogurt, toast, baked goodies, cereal, etc. and better-than-average coffee. If we're in Kingston again, we'll definitely stay here.
