The staff were nice. They offered us room temperature bottles of water. Our card keys kept deactivating. Our room was not maintained well, outlet not working, hangers hanging from the ceiling vent. The pool was closed during the summer. Breakfast was fresh fruit and coffee/tea/water. We were told not to drink the water so we brushed our teeth with bottle water.

This was a last minute booking for the week. What a great spot. Close to downtown. The room was clean and exactly what we needed. The owner (I can't remember his name) was very friendly and helpful. I thought we had a problem with the fridge, but it was just a light switch in a weird spot. LOL. Pam at the front counter was a delight! Super friendly and made sure our stay was perfect! We will definitely stay here gain!

A nice hotel not to far from the centre of Kingston. The hotel staff were extremely friendly and helpful. It was nice they offered a couple of bottles of water and at checkout they have fruit for the journey. The room was clean and good for the night. The air conditioner worked well but made a lot of noise when the fan was blowing.
