Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were beautiful, super clean, and had a very fresh feeling, which I appreciated. However, my daughter's sofa bed wasn't as comfortable or clean as the rest of the room. The service was overall great with helpful staff from start to finish, though there weren't enough of them at times. The location was perfect for my needs, particularly for a meeting at Queen's, but I had to take a cab back from dinner due to dark residential streets. The dining experience was unexpectedly excellent, with a variety of delicious options. Despite minor inconsistencies, I found the place to be convenient and enjoyable overall.
The inn is conveniently located in the heart of Kingston, near Queen’s University and just a short stroll from downtown, making it perfect for exploring the vibrant city atmosphere. The staff were friendly and welcoming, although they lacked efficiency in addressing parking concerns. The breakfast spread was delicious, offering a variety of fresh treats. While the rooms could benefit from some updating and maintenance, they exuded a charming and cozy ambiance, providing a comfortable stay overall.
The hotel is a charming spot with traditional decor, friendly service, and historical charm. The rooms, while spellbinding with their traditional decor, were cooled by an old air conditioner but lacked opening windows, making the night noisy with the air con on. The amenities were clean, offering decent value for the price.
The hotel was fascinating with its three circular floors in the carriage house, offering creatively appointed, enormous rooms – one of the nicest I've ever stayed in. The service was amazing, super-friendly, very accommodating, and attentive to all needs. The location was great, showcasing Victorian architecture and within walking distance to downtown and the waterfront. The dining experience was good and plentiful, though some areas needed improvement. Overall, a unique hotel with excellent service and charming surroundings.

The facilities were decent overall.
