We love staying at the Kingsbury. It feels like home. The rooms are spacious and the beds are super comfortable. The staff are always professional and super friendly. The manager went out of his way to make sure we were happy, (although we had to cancel a night’s stay last minute.) The buffet breakfasts and dinners are sensational! Highly recommend this hotel. We will be back!
