Nice hotel, great location! Beautiful view from our room! Great service from staff! Only disappointment was the additional fee for parking, sorry but this isn’t New York City with its limited parking space! It’s cute, quaint Kingston, Ontario! Might have to reconsider this hotel next visit!

We enjoyed our 1-night stay. Very reasonably priced. Our room #205 was very large so it should have had a small table or two to use with the lovely bucket chairs. There were no drinking glasses (glass or plastic) in the room. Keurig coffee pods - suggest 2 regular and 2 decaf. I was happy that our request for a room near the elevator was accommodated, and that a small problem with our television was addressed immediately. Friendly helpful staff. Nice breakfast - exceptional pastries.

We booked into the Holiday Inn Waterfront to visit our son who is attending RMC. As my daughter was meeting me and we were driving down together from Toronto, I called the hotel a day earlier to advise we would be a late arrival. We arrived at 12:30 pm and as the doors were locked. We had to be buzzed in. We waited some time for a response. Once up at the front desk the person checking us in made us feel as though we were a huge inconvenience. She hastly checked us in did not provide any information about the hotel or additional charges, and failed to even tell us our room number. We had to.ask all these questions and her responses were very abrupt. The room wa clean but on the small side. The furniture etc was dated and the hallway smelled stale. On check out the same front desk clerk was involved. Very slow and uninterested in serving us. We were charged for parking but had never been told in advance of the $30 fee. The only saving grace was the location however that is not enough to bring me back to this property. My son has another 3 years at the College, there will be many more trips to Kingston, however we will book a different hotel.

We ended up in a wheelchair accessible. Which we did need and wasnt suited for us. I think it dhould have been more obvious that is what had selected. It was not clear to me. The tv service was having problems. Didnt work well. We had to pay $30 extra for parking. Which was an unexpected surprise.

The View was amazing from the balcony. Felt like I was on a cruise ship. Beds were very comfortable. Bathroom was nicely updated except for the sink tap, much too short making it difficult to wash your hands properly and caused water to go on the counter. During the week I guess there are less cleaners available and we ran out of tissue and almost toilet paper. Staff were wonderful at front desk and at breakfast. Breakfast buffet was great. Room comes with a microwave and small fridge. Parking was close and easy! But not free. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

Very expensive ($300/night!) for what it is -- an aging low- to mid-range hotel. Also, $30/night extra for parking! No matter how hard you want it to be, Kingston isn't Toronto.
