Holiday Inn Kingston Waterfront by IHG

8/10 Good

"The room was clean, comfortable. Staff were good in the evening on Sunday 6th Sept. Attentive and listened to my request and got a kettle sent to my room within 15mins. Staff evening Monday 7th Sept forgot my tea, milk and spare cups. I had to call again and got them 3hrs after my initial request. WiFi no issues - all devices worked. Didn’t have food at the location. The location was brilliant and so close to everything!"

8/10 Good

"We loved our night at the inn. The desk clerk was extremely helpful when we needed a power bar to work the tv as the wall plug was not working. Only suggestion would be to have a mini fridge in the room."

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!"
