What Guests Are Saying?

Willie

United Kingdom, January 2024

8.0/10

My stay at the hotel was not what I expected for the price. The room was very clean and comfortable, and the heater worked well. The service was friendly and efficient, especially with helping me with my IHG reward points. The location was convenient for travelers using Highway 401, but a bit far from the beach. The dining options were great, although having the same breakfast for 2 days was not as enjoyable. Overall, a good value for money option with some minor drawbacks.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were spacious and very clean, and the complimentary breakfast was a nice bonus. However, the pull-out bed was hard, and I could feel the springs in my back, which was not very comfortable.

The hotel offers clean and spacious rooms with a fresh soap fragrance, perfect for hosting groups. The service is outstanding with a team that handles complaints well and always aims to please. The location is convenient for a quick stop before downtown Kingston, although a bit far from the waterfront. The dining experience provides a good variety but lacks in some options. Overall, a great value for money stay.
