While it isn't the fanciest place I've ever stayed, I think I love it the most. It is a very comfortable place to stay with plenty of places to sit and read a book. The location is an easy 20 minute walk to the shops on Princess with the option of taking the long way, along the lake front. The staff is wonderful, the breakfast included with the stay is amazing and I look forward to coming back.

I would have prefer to leave a 3 star rating for the room but the rest of the hotel was fine. It was my specific room 314 which was level to the room and their entire HVA system - which sounded like a large plane was waiting idling to take off when it would come on! We should have asked to be moved but I only realized what it was after we’d settled and it was only for one night. Otherwise, I’m familiar with this hotel as we’ve stayed here several times. Consistent pricing year round which is great for peak periods in Kingston and decent breakfast included as part of the rate - and free Parking. The tv’s are ancient and really should be replaced. Watched some tennis and could barely follow the. All because the image was so poor.
