The staff was very friendly and helpful and the facility was so comfortable. The hotel was very homey and welcoming with a quiet but busy pub in the lobby. And the room’s fireplace and seating area were so cozy and nice during our cold weekend in Kingston. The room was comfortable and the bathroom amenities were really well-thought out. Dual head shower, extra curtain space, shower cap and nice mild, but softly scented soaps, ample shelving for toiletries and very good lighting options. I was very comfortable here during my three night stay.
