Stayed here overnight to attend a wedding and a function the following morning. Clean ordinary room. All was well until I tried to shower the next morning and discovered a broken shower head. Wife of owner told him the shower wouldn't stay on although I never gave any details. Owner told me " Things happen and it's just a minor... More

Decided to escape Harborfest in Oswego, Ny and go to Kingston, Ontario. Took the car ferry from Cape Vincent, Ny to Wolf Island, Ontario then another car ferry to Kingston. This is very fun and the ferry from Wolf Island to Kingston is free. It lands in downtown Kingston after about a 20 sail. The staff at this mom &... More

This is now called the Kingston Motel East and has a new husband/wife managing it. We stopped by to check out some rooms and viewed a very clean, nicely maintained, fresh smelling room with two queen size beds. I was very pleased to find it exactly as I expected it to be.. .clean and pleasant. The bathtub sparkled, the toilet... More

We stayed there for one night and pleased. it was only 89$, great king sized bed, comfortable mattress, clean sheets. Our room was not yet renovated (other rooms have had the carpet changed and was freshly painted) but the furnishings were new. Friendly staff, clean pool and there was a park for family with kids. Came with 2 fridges, stove... More

I stayed 3 nights here, and I'd have to say it's an ok place to rest you head, but that's it. The owner or staff or who ever it was, was a bit of a jerk. We killed two large bugs in our room, possibly cockroaches. I was all I could do to keep my wife from leaving. Any way... More

A budget motel with reasonable facilities, in a nice setting. Good location for visiting Kingston, RMC, and 1000 Islands.

We picked this motel because of its location, but what a mistake. The price was over the top and the motel was dirty and in horrible condition. Even though the TV was not functioning, the motel manager refused to give any kind of price break. They do most of their business with people that work at the Military Base for... More

Quite simply, the worst $100 I ever spent. I could have stayed in the Kingston Landfill for free and kicking myself for not. In one word....Filthy!

We were put to ease when we found out that the motel was affiliated with the Travelodge Chain; however, this was short lived as we checked into the hotel. First let me say that the... More
