We had an enjoyable stay at the hotel. It is located at a convenient location in Kingston where you can easily access restaurants and tourist attractions. The gym and pool are also quite lovely. The gym overlooks the waters which is an additional bonus. The restaurant at the hotel has a nice patio and the dinner menu has a good variety of options. The waitresses during dinner time were very friendly and courteous. However, the same couldn't be said about the staff during breakfast hours. They were so rude that we left and ate at the restaurant outside the hotel. I would definitely stay at the hotel again but just don't eat breakfast at the hotel's restaurant.

We had a great stay here, nice hotel in a great location. We walked almost every where on foot. The only disappointment is that since we had our dog with us we had to take one of the pet friendly rooms which are on the ground floor with no view at all although the hotel is located at a very lovely place with amazing lake view. I think it’s very disappointing.

Our first room overlooked the parking lot. We asked if we could be moved to overlook the lake. Because we booked through Expedia, not the hotel, they said they could not accommodate. However, the supervisor on staff did approve and moved us to the third floor, only the view was blocked by the only tree on on the property. Although it was very hot out, and thankful to have air conditioning, it was very loud. The restaurant was excellent, we had one dinner and two breakfast meals and both were very satisfying.
