Liked: Staff & service
The room was clean enough, the one bed was caved in in the middle, very worn out mattress. The staff person on checking in was helpful and polite. This hotel is really a motel, and is located in a rundown part of Kingston. We went for a walk one evening; lots of homeless and vagrant. You would not want to be out after dark in this area.

Decent for a one nighter. Bed was smaller than the expected queen, looked a little bigger than a double but was comfortable. Tv was pretty small and they had a portable heater for warmth, interesting but okay. Room itself was clean. Staff was friendly.

Pool is not in order, too cold to use anyways. The room was great, beds and pillows soft and fluffy, floor were clean. Bathroom was good, some rust or something on top of heaters. During booking, it showed hreakfast was included, not this time ! Sad, it was only muffins and various fruits, but it did the trick!!
