The price of a double room was half the cost when I reserved it online, but at the counter, we were charged the full price. When I showed the online booking to the receptionist, she had no satisfactory response. $20 extra for parking space which we couldn’t use the car park and they haven’t refunded it.

Clean and fresh smelling rooms but staff are not that great. Was greeted with a funny attitude when I went down to the lobby to ask for a simple pen. The staff act like I am doing them a favour by staying at their hotel! However will continue to stay at The Kinson because rooms are beautiful and well priced.
