Parking Rip-Off, Will Not Return

Please be aware that this hotel does not actually provide proper parking, despite advertising that it does. The parking system is a complete rip-off. They advertise daily parking for $20, but here’s the catch: 0–1 hour: $5 1–2 hours: $10 Full day: $20 However, if you leave and return, the charges start all over again as if it were a new entry. The hotel should either remove the “parking available” claim from their advertisement or clearly inform guests about this unreasonable system. I will never stay at this hotel again.

Another great stay at the Kinson. Unfortunately we had some noisy neighbours who woke us at 2am but not the fault of the hotel. Comfortable and clean but the rooms are starting to show signs of wear, especially in the plaster walls.

recently stayed at The Kinson and was overall satisfied with the experience. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with essential amenities such as a comfortable bed, clean linens, air conditioning, and a functional bathroom. Check-in was smooth, and the staff were courteous and helpful. The room was quiet and offered a good night’s sleep. Housekeeping maintained the space well throughout the stay. While not luxurious, the room offered good value for the price and was conveniently located near local attractions and transport. I would consider staying here again on a future visit.
