We had a great stay here, nice hotel in a great location. We walked almost every where on foot. The only disappointment is that since we had our dog with us we had to take one of the pet friendly rooms which are on the ground floor with no view at all although the hotel is located at a very lovely place with amazing lake view. I think it’s very disappointing.

Our first room overlooked the parking lot. We asked if we could be moved to overlook the lake. Because we booked through Expedia, not the hotel, they said they could not accommodate. However, the supervisor on staff did approve and moved us to the third floor, only the view was blocked by the only tree on on the property. Although it was very hot out, and thankful to have air conditioning, it was very loud. The restaurant was excellent, we had one dinner and two breakfast meals and both were very satisfying.

Me being whiny. Checking was a nightmare, AC in room is way too loud, and you hear everything that's going on in the hallways and on the decks outside, so don't expect to sleep in. Pluses...beds as super comfy, and you are within walking distance to everything you need.

Overall really nice hotel. Love that you can park your car and everything was within walking distance. Enjoyed sitting on the balcony and looking right at the water and beautiful scenery. Air conditioning did leak though onto the balcony so was always lots of water and bugs and wish you could turn the light on and off on balcony. Staff were friendly and always helpful. Would definitely stay again when I come to Kingston.

Our only complaint was not being able to check in before 4. The line up at 4 was outrageous. It could have been avoided if you it was staggered.
