Top Canada's Penitentiary Museum Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Kingston Central by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was clean and the breakfast was good"

Donald Gordon Hotel and Conference Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Great location for moving my son into residence. Close and convenient for campus. Great breakfast included. Only down side is that there are not a lot of other restaurants - stores or restaurants near by."

DoubleTree by Hilton Kingston

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and Spacious Rooms."

Delta Hotels by Marriott Kingston Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very clean and spacious, and the bed was very comfortable and roomy. I especially loved that the hotel was pet-friendly. The staff were also very friendly and welcoming. The only downside was that the restaurant menu prices were quite expensive. Other than that, we had a great stay and really enjoyed our time here."

Ramada by Wyndham Kingston

10/10 Excellent

"The beds were incredible comfortable. My adult son and I had great sleeps in our separate beds. The room was very modest but provided what we needed as we spent our time with family at their home and slept comfortably here. There is no elevator so the second floor rooms are cheaper because you have to carry your bags up a flight of stairs. No biggie for us."

Best Western Fireside Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The room was quiet, clean, and spacious, and the amenities were very well maintained. I loved the cozy fireplace and the vintage books on the shelves! There is plenty of parking, and both the pool and patio areas looked great. The staff were super helpful and friendly. While the buffet breakfast wasn't overly lavish, it still offered a solid variety of options. The location is very convenient—right next to Food Basics, close to A&W and McDonald's, and only about 4 minutes from a gas station. I would definitely recommend staying here!"

Hochelaga Inn

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed here with my daughter leading up to Queens move-in day. The staff was very accommodating of our extra luggage. The breakfast was wonderful. The property is perfectly located and very clean."

Econo Lodge City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"It was a great(bit outdated - true) place for a lower budget in a quiet neighborhood . My room was clean, bed was spacious. Breakfast was good too. Me happy for two nights stay."

Days Inn by Wyndham Kingston

8/10 Good

"Everything was great however, the mattress was extremely uncomfortable"
