I had to wait 3 months before I could review this hotel again since I had stayed in October and had not such a great experience and then stayed again in December and had the best stay ever in Kingston. After a one time not so good stay in October due to some rowdy college kids, the manager made sure... More

The staff were really polite and helpful. The breakfast buffet was good. The location is very convenient to downtown Kingston. I also had trouble locking my balcony door but figured it out eventually. Check-in and check-out were very fast. The room could have been a bit cleaner. More

Stayed here on Jan 23rd for work. Actually got a really good Hotwire deal and upgraded my room to King for another $10. First time I've ever had to pay to 'upgrade' to a king bed. Wasn't too happy about that. The room was neat and clean, bathroom was ok but faucet needed replacing. Roomservice was prompt but didn't see... More

We have stayed here before, but were dissatisfied with the hotel this time. Our room (509) was not very clean (less than a comfort inn), had no hot water, just warm; the sliding glass door didn't lock; the carpet felt dirty and the bedside table had hairs on it as well as the ring from a previous person's beverage. We... More

We stayed overnight at the Holiday Inn, and to our delight, when looking out of our balcony, a tall sail ship was docked on our side of the hotel, quite a view. Rooms are clean, with plenty of amenities, breakfast buffet was good, and the indoor pool and gym facilities are fine. The location is nice as it is downtown... More

I stayed here for a couple of nights. The room was definitely lower quality than I expected for the price. (I'd say it was a star lower than advertised). There was nothing wrong with the room, per se, but the furniture and the bathroom fixtures seemed a bit grungy and cheap. The room size was fine, the hotel was very... More
