Intimate, tranquil and refreshing are the first words that come to mind when I think of the Terra Nova. The beautifully decorated grounds, white glove service, live piano music and wooden flooring make a welcome invitation. The old world charm of the hotel is a most needed respite in Kingston.......not to mention the food! I stayed here with my bridal... More

terrible. out dated. old carpet, old beds and bedding, and bathrooms in need of a complete renovation. i would compare it to an old red roof inn on i 75...except the red roof inn is only $39 a night. the pool was ok but nothing special. i would not go back. the staff wore white gloves. very strange.
