For an older hotel, it was surprisingly clean and tidy. The only thing is that the shower could have had better water pressure

Good location at a good price. Lots of dinner ng options located nearby. Had a minor issue with my credit card at check-in but staff were very patient and we got through it. Room was a nice size and everything worked. That's everything a budget traveler like me needs.

Pam at the front desk was very helpful in providing information about the property and about the town, as we were first-time visitors. Room was very clean. Renovations underway. Harp the manager was willing to listen to constructive criticism.

Newly renovated spacious rooms with comfortable beds. There is a sink in the bathroom and a sink outside the bathroom that made getting ready for our event so much easier. The staff is friendly and rooms were very clean! They are in the process of renovating the old staircase. We were pleasantly surprised by the room!

The room was very clean and Pam at the front desk was really helpful and nice. She even makes cookies for guests. It doesn't look like much on the outside but the rooms are very clean and comfortable. The parking spaces could be a little bit wider

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!
