Wonderful stuff for the most part, except for a strange racist encounter with an older male staff member in the dining hall, with a dark complexion and wearing a hat on July 15th. He continued to stare at my mother up and down as though she was not to be at that hotel. The rest of the staff was pleasant and very welcoming! Services do need to be updated like the tv remote not working in the room, and tub without the proper drain (anything can get sucked in), also there was an odd odour in the main floor close to the dining area. Second time coming, service again excellent but would not be coming again due to the poor maintenance of certain areas/things of the hotel.

Great place, id stay here again.

The grounds are amazing, safe neighborhood. Breakfast was good no brown bag lol. Close to the water, about a 20 min walk. Dont like that the, A/C in my room wasn't as cool as home. But they did supply a fan in the room. All doors are marked emergancy exit. Meaning you have to walk all the way back to the one door! Im a private guy so having to pass the front desk with our fake smiles got tiring.

The hotel is quiet, safe, and has lots of above ground parking. It isn't close to downtown, but walking distance to Kingston Pen and harbour. Free buffet breakfast was great. Room was clean but had an odd smell from the A/C.

A great spot to stay at that's not too far from Queen's University and the downtown area. They have free parking on-site, but it's still a reasonable walk to main campus and downtown area or a short bus ride away, if you don't have a car. I was pleasantly surprised by the breakfast buffet and the staff were so attentive. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone who is visiting Kingston.
