I consider myself pretty well travelled and I’ve never felt so unwelcome during the check-in process. No smile, no friendly greeting, nothing welcoming at all. The room keycards that were issued did not work and when I came right back down to get it fixed up there was not even a word of apology for the inconvenience. And to top all this off - the advertised $25 per day parking is ONE ENTRY AND EXIT PER DAY. And it is actually $30. So if you think you can come and go as you wish for that daily fee, well, you can’t. Never experienced that before. Room was average - balcony filthy with multiple cigarette butts, bath badly needed replacing/resurfacing, couch very tired…..

Fantastic views but the aircon was loud and check-in took a long time due to nobody being at the front desk. Lots of potential to be great but it's not quite there yet.

Kinson Hotel is lovely, however be aware of Nationwide car parking that the hotel offers. It's not run by Kinson, however Nationwide double chared us and makes it extremely hard to get a refund. Not ideal customer service.
