I enjoyed my stay here. good breakfast. Was pretty strange being one of the few people staying in the entire hotel. Will be staying here again.

We've stayed here many times and we will again. The included breakfast is amazing; greatly appreciated. The cost vs quality has been a good proposition for us. It's always a balance. The location for our purpose (visiting QueensU) has been a significant consideration and a big plus.. On this last 2-day stay, there was no hot water in our room. It was explained at checkout that a pump was down after a 3wk shutdown. But the hotel didn't tell us; we had to learn when we checked out. Had we known, as the hotel seemed to know, we would have stayed somewhere else this time and returned to the Conf Ctr next time.

Discount rates were not available with online booking. The gym was closed due to construction; unsat.

Great place to stay, but my window could not shut properly, and the room was freezing cold when I arrived, and it was drafty throughout the night. Also, the toilet was running intermittently through the night. A good tip might be for hotel staff to spend a few minutes in each room once in a while, to detect these kinds of issues.

Very nice clean facilities and the staff were friendly, professional and extremely helpful. Great place to stay for a fraction of the price!

The stay here was pleasant. Staff were friendly and welcoming and were nice when we asked to extend our check out time slightly. The breakfast was very good. Much better than most included breakfasts and I liked how they changed the menu selections slightly on the two mornings we were there. I noticed the chef come out from the kitchen and check on the food which is a great sign. For the hotel building a needed improvement is the water pressure. I understand it’s an old building. But the shower was very weak which wasn’t great. Otherwise, I’d recommend this hotel and would stay here again when we return to Kingston next year!

I was only here for one night for a conference. The food supplied by the hotel for the conference was very good. The staff, especially the servicing staff was excellent. You could really hear the noise in the hallway but most hotels are like that. The bed was very comfortable- haven't slept that long in such a long time!

My second stay at the proper was excellent, as was the first. Beautiful and peaceful setting; the location was perfect for visiting our daughter at Queen’s. Very good breakfast and parking included. We would definitely return.

Breakfast was nice. The heating system is terrible. It was impossible to control in one room so I had to change in the middle of the night. The corridor by the next room was sauna hot. The bed linens were fine. The location was okay and the surroundings park-like. It's getting old and showing its age. I need to be able to sleep as the first priority and it needs to work on the HVAC. I would never stay there again. The reaction from the staff polite but you are taking a chance with the noise and from the heat/cool unit and its inability to be at the proper termperature. Hint - if the heat is controlled by up and down arrows, that's the old system. If there's a dial control, that's the replacement. The 4 story building is the better one.
