The dog friendliness was great. There was a surprise charge for pets that Expedia did not advise about. But the pet friendly room had no carpeting and the sliding door opened to green space. Friendly service also

This hotel is beautifully located and the building what you would expect for Holiday Inn. The rooms are clean and somehow, even though it was clearly at capacity with younger guests and teams, they kept things very peaceful. The staff is exceptional. I had to speak to the ladies at the front desk for various things and each was professional, courtesy and made the experience very pleasant. I recommend this property if you are staying in Kingston.
