Clean room, bed was good and soft bedsheets and soft towels. Good shower, soap, hair shampoo and body wash. Shower had good pressure. Wifi was a hit and miss unfortunately, and tv was so-so. Gentlemen at front were exceptionally nice! Nice to have fancy coffees and tea selection, as well as orange and apple juice and a fun slushie machine as well. Thankful they give you a discount if you have surgery at the Kingston General Hospital too!

The property was fine but the Expedia description was very wrong. The hotel no longer has an all-night desk, breakfast included and etc. The profile needs to be upgraded.

The room was clean enough, the one bed was caved in in the middle, very worn out mattress. The staff person on checking in was helpful and polite. This hotel is really a motel, and is located in a rundown part of Kingston. We went for a walk one evening; lots of homeless and vagrant. You would not want to be out after dark in this area.

Decent for a one nighter. Bed was smaller than the expected queen, looked a little bigger than a double but was comfortable. Tv was pretty small and they had a portable heater for warmth, interesting but okay. Room itself was clean. Staff was friendly.
