The room was very nice. One pillowcase had stains. It would appear that corners, especially in the bathroom and grout could use more attention and cleaning. The toilet handle was not operating properly.

The breakfast staff were great, Attentive and friendly. The main elevator is noisy and need a "tune-up" It doesn't sound right. When a guest arrives at the reception desk, and there's no other guests, It would be nice to be recognized and not left standing for an extended period. while the receptionest carries on with computer work. Just a recognition or acknowledgment that you're there would be helpful.

Pros-great location. Close to shops, restaurants, Kingston Penitentiary tour. Price was great compared to other nearby hotels. It was clean. No trouble finding parking. Cons-incredibly noisy, people slamming their doors closed maybe some weather stripping to soften up the door slamming, bed was sunken in and extremely uncomfortable, sleep was not easy at this hotel, it appears as if you can control your room temperature but you can’t the room was so hot. Breakfast was not my favourite we were told it was u like any other hotel yet it was similar to any breakfast I have had at other hotels nothing spectacular. Didn’t bother attending breakfast on day two. Overall if you are looking to save money and don’t mind a no frills type go for it. If you are looking for more pay more and stay at a different place. I stayed two nights and loved the city would have stayed longer but not here.
