At the prices charged for accommodation and knowing there is limited parking available parking should be included in the stay as well as a complimentary breakfast for those not desiring a "sit down restaurant" type start to their day. If budget hotels can offer this so could Holiday Inn

It was what advertised. I was surprised that the 2 nights were at a different price but I had not read my reservation correctly so I am partially to blame. The parking lot security system was defective but I got a partial refund. All in all I would return for a stay if I came back to Kingston.

The toilet ran for some time after one flush . I had to sort it myself. Which disrupted my sleep. The value for money wasn't there. I also paid for parking. Which was extra and not included as I thought it was. Will likely not stay there again.

Every year or so, we like to go to Kingston and Holiday Inn Waterfront has been the hotel of choice with many years. This time around we ask for a room with our little 12 lbs creature, a miniature pinsher and we reserve on the main level. We liked the location for the convenience but it does smell dog a bit. We had a great welcome, it looks like she enjoys of what she is doing and a few other at the desk except the Sunday morning one. We were surprise to find out they dont' do the room anymore unless we ask. We do not recommend the patio restaurant, terrible service. To follow
