“on business, would come back on pleasure”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

Good, clean hotel - fantastic location right on the waterfront. Doesn't look like much from the outside (boxy and grey). I find it quiet when i stay, BUT i know the marina must get a bit loud on some summer days. Carpets in hall are rough, but the room is very good. Everything worked as it should, fridge etc... everything is nearby and Kingston is a fab town.

“excellent Ontario accomodation, Ehhh?”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

Had a wonderful night's stay here at end Octoboer 12. Room was large, comfortable, and really great, including the KS Sleep Number bed and large LCD TV, with nice view of Lake Ontario. The staff, and all the locals we met at nearby pubs, we so friendly,and quite interested (and even sympathetic to our conservative leanings) in the upcoming US election. A beautiful small city, a great, comfortable hotel. Hope to return during warmer weather. Regretfully did not have opportunity to sample the hotel restaurant, but learned it is rated #1 among many good locals establishments.

Room Tip: choice of city or lake view, if available

“Not the greatest”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed October 28, 2012

Stayed weekend of Oct 27, 2012 - attending the OUA womens lacrosse tournament at Queens. Hotel (and everything) is within 10 minutes so the "location" advantage this hotel had over the other choices really is not a premium to be paid for. Generally run down. Carpets on 4th floor need replacing... Room had distinct Body Odour of guest before...we should've checked out...Walls are PAPER THIN!! Listened to the guest speaking next door. I can't blame them as it was not a loud discussion but I could hear most of the words and laughter... Also heard guests on other side of room too. Bed was ok. Parking for $15.00? Really?!! Stay elsewhere... like the Ambassador on the otherside of Kingston. Or....

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry that you did not enjoy your recent visit. Generally our harbour front location is noted as a wonderful feature of our property. From our hotel, all of downtown Kingston’s finest shops and restaurants are within walking distance, an advantage that cannot be enjoyed from hotels located elsewhere in the city. We are also very sorry to hear about some of the other issues you encountered and we would have loved to have had the opportunity to rectify them during your stay. You will be glad to know that we will be having some updates made to our property in the very near future and we hope that you decide to stay with us again during a more leisurely visit to downtown Kingston.

“Best hotelbed ever”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 21, 2012

We stayed here for only 1 night. Spacious bedrooms with Number sleep beds. First time in months I got out of bed without backpain. Although I had sent an email in advance informing them of the fact that my husband has to eat glutenfree, and that I got confirmation this would not be a problem, there was no glutenfree bread at breakfast. They managed to get some within 15 minutes.

Thank you for sharing your experience at our hotel. We are so happy to hear that you were able to adjust the Sleep Number bed to the ideal setting and you woke up pain free. We do our best to accommodate all dietary requirements in the restaurant and we’re glad that your husband was able to enjoy a gluten free breakfast.
