A good hotel like this requires an elevator. My Wife and I are Seniors thus it is tiring to climb stairs carrying luggage. We like the hotel and now know to book a first floor room when we next visit. The “No Elevator” comment was common at breakfast. This is a very good centrally located hotel with one major requirement. Thank you for listening.

Not worth the price , just ok.

Check went good and fast. The room is ok , for the price not too fantastic. The bed and furniture are old and dated. The bathroom needs a makeover. The fan in the bathroom grinds and the Ac is so loud when you are trying to sleep. The pool was good , but it is outside only pool. The free breakfast was ok for free , but definitely not worth paying for. Check out was quick. It was loud in the morning with people getting up.

We stayed in one of the Fantasy Suites and it was so much fun! The champagne and chocolate strawberries were a lovely touch. All the staff was friendly and helpful. This hotel is a very quick and easy drive into the downtown core, or anywhere in Kingston you'd like to go. We will be back again for sure!

It was a very comfortable room. I thought the toilet didn’t flush properly and it had to be flushed twice. The tap in the sink was a little finicky to adjust. I was a little disappointed in the breakfast options. The property is lovely. I stayed one night only.
