It was Sunday so no inside restaurant open. Room was clean
My wife and I enjoyed everything about our stay. The room was great, the food was great with large portions. The breakfast buffet was exceptional. Dinner menu was 5 star. We got to have a nice long chat with the executive chef, he is a true master at what he does. The whole staff at the hotel were phenomenal.
My friends and I always stay here when we are in the area. Room is spacious and clean, bathroom is nice and comes with travel sized toiletries if you forget anything. Parking is right on the property for a fee.
The dog friendliness was great. There was a surprise charge for pets that Expedia did not advise about. But the pet friendly room had no carpeting and the sliding door opened to green space. Friendly service also
This hotel is beautifully located and the building what you would expect for Holiday Inn. The rooms are clean and somehow, even though it was clearly at capacity with younger guests and teams, they kept things very peaceful. The staff is exceptional. I had to speak to the ladies at the front desk for various things and each was professional, courtesy and made the experience very pleasant. I recommend this property if you are staying in Kingston.
Rooms are good. Very loud at night with a party near my room the first night and loud yelling guests in the hall on second night at 2 am. Won’t stay there again unfortunately.
We would have preferred to have a view of the river, not the ferry dock. Room was clean and staff were friendly. A little shocked at paying $30 a day for parking!
Staff wonderful. Beds really comfortable. Fan on heater very loud. We would have appreciated actual mugs for coffee as Styrofoam cups are tippy and mug could have been used in the microwave for tea.
Staff very friendly, My husband lost his wedding ring in the pool and they were very quick at finding it. We prepaid for the breakfast and in my eyes it was worth the money.
French toast was hard to cut with a knife( we ate late so that could have been the issue)
View was great
Staff were very friendly and helpful
Issue with the toliet flushing ( happened twice) we received free parking because of the issue
Very clean ( all areas of the hotel)
Will definitely recommend and come back
