The Kingsley had a great location just on the edge of town which made it convenient to get in and out. Beautiful setting adjacent to the river. Very quiet and the staff was so very friendly. The beds were very comfortable and the bathroom huge!

The carpet of the room had stains all over it. Some front desk staff were nice, but a couple of the ladies were rude. You cannot get a spa appointment at all as it is full from appointments of people who live in the area, this was disappointing.
