The hotel was amazing. It’s a small hidden gem in the city of Kingston. I love the cottage feel of it and the pool was clean and the area around the pool was well maintained. I love the fact that you can also order food from the pool area and eat it while the kids are swimming. The hotel restaurants staff were friendly and efficient but the food was somewhat bland ( quesadillas and bruschetta bread needs to have flavor and I don’t recommend it). I would highly recommend this hotel to everyone.

Overall your place is excellent. We have stayed here many times in the past. The only bad things were in our room. 1. The air conditioner is very loud. 2. The bed is a little too soft.

As we came for a graduation on a red eye flight we requested an early check in to shower and the person just stuck to the 3pm check in (no empathy for the situation). Workout equipment was run down and in general the place could use an upgrade.
