I would have prefer to leave a 3 star rating for the room but the rest of the hotel was fine. It was my specific room 314 which was level to the room and their entire HVA system - which sounded like a large plane was waiting idling to take off when it would come on! We should have asked to be moved but I only realized what it was after we’d settled and it was only for one night. Otherwise, I’m familiar with this hotel as we’ve stayed here several times. Consistent pricing year round which is great for peak periods in Kingston and decent breakfast included as part of the rate - and free Parking. The tv’s are ancient and really should be replaced. Watched some tennis and could barely follow the. All because the image was so poor.

My daughter and I stayed at Donald Gordon Hotel while attending the Queens University open house. It was the perfect location. Approximately a 15 minute, walk to the University. Free parking and complementary breakfast was a bonus. The room was very clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. The only downside was that the room doors are heavy and slam shut so I could see that troubling light sleepers. Other than that, it was a perfect stay.
