Spectacular stay with top notch service and spacious accommodations. This place has it all. Great seating areas, large rooms and awesome service. The staff goes above and beyond. The house itself takes you back in time but with modern conveniences. The breakfast was the best on our trip If you have a day or two in Kingston this is a must stay at. Located walking distance to all the downtown and waterfront activities.
