Hotels near Great Lakes Museum, Kingston

”WeLoveQueens” special offer really isn't special: we had a tour of the university and loved the look and location of the Hocalaga online. In person, the neighborhood and building are very attractive, but the advertised special was anything but: the website promises VIP amenity package, free room upgrades and more! Our room was very basic: king bed, two nightstands, one chair, TV, portable A/C, and ensuite bathroom (best part of the room), and was located at the rear entrance, which is the only entrance after 7:30PM, and right at the breakfast / reception station. While we expected a relaxing stay, it was noisy, either from the people above, or the clattering of dishes / constant traffic outside our door. The view out the two windows was of the walkway everyone uses to enter the building, and of a wood pile & emergency staircase. We were texted, before even unpacking, that a tip was requested for our cleaning staff, but no one cleaned our room during the stay! No fresh towels or linen service, and after a long day in kingston, there wasn't even anyone at the desk to ask for service until the next morning. Breakfast was good, but be aware only a continental breakfast is included. It did feel a bit like a cattle call at times when queuing to get breakfast or a cup of coffee. The dining area is nice, but was overwhelmingly stuffy and hot with 15+ people in it; outdoor dining was more temperate and enjoyable. Overall, it's a lovely building in a lovely area, but we will stay elsewhere next time.

The hotel may be a remodeled old hotel with antiques and a very nice restaurant. The breakfast was quite rich in a small restaurant contracted by Indians. In short, this hotel is quite cost-effective, and it feels like an old-fashioned star hotel that lives above Samsung.

Comfortable bed!! Great selection of COVID friendly breakfast items, fresh coffee with real cream. Good location just a few minutes from town. Clean room. Pool was closed but looked like it would be awesome in warmer weather. Very happy with our stay!

first off we visited the hotel during the coronavirus pandemic so there were things that were shut down due to this. The pool was available two customers on a booking schedule so you would book it for 45 minutes and the pool was your entire families which I thought was an excellent idea. since the hot tub could contribute to coronavirus it was shut down that was understandable and since the water slide needed a lifeguard they shut it down so there wouldn't be life guards with your family do to Corona and that was understandable as well. The hotel is located ten feet away from a small outlet mall which my wife light as well there were many fast food in casual restaurants nearby. If you wanted to be downtown you had about a five minute or so drive so it was not as good as some of the resorts on the waterfront but it was significantly better price and the rooms were excellent. Each room had a nice TV microwave and fridge..and was very spacious they had walk-in showers instead of bathtubs which I thought was an excellent idea. one thing to know they did not have a coffee maker in the room due to coronavirus issues ETC. They did not have any included breakfast as well but I got an excellent price thank you to trip.com. and that easily made up for no breakfast. overall trip.com saved me easily 50 Canadian dollars a night so compared to a riverfront hotel over $125 per night was saved. I felt this was well worth the inconvenience of being a 5 minute drive from downtown... parking downtown with no issue and typically was 4 to $5 so even when you tag in the gas to drive downtown the parking and everything I still saved an incredible amount of money for this very nicely appointed hotel I would recommend trip.com hands down and I would recommend this hotel unless you absolutely needed to be right downtown.

I have stayed at this hotel in the past and it has been ok. This past weekend was not ok. I was assigned room 161. The room is very small. The double bed fills the room. I could hardly move around the bathroom (I am a large person). The walls are in need of a major paint job. Marks all over. The ceiling needs to be redone as well. The bedding looked and felt very cheap. The light switch tuned off the clock radio and power bar. On the positive side, the bathroom looked recently refreshed. Overall, it felt like a room I would get at $40 per night hotel As well, the room is near the entrance, so you hear everyone. On this night, there were children/teens being very loud (yelling to each other as they went to the pool). We had to turn on the TV very loud. The TV was small and the selection available from Bell was limited. Gave up and attached my laptop. Fortunately, they did not hardwire the cord as I did not bring an extra HDMI cable.

I happened to stay here as the Doubletree was sold out. First having not stayed in this type of property before wasn’t sure what to expect. What a nice surprise there was a kitchen in the suite plus a nice sofa. I found the room to have anything you might need for a extended stay. Plus had a desk and office chair. The biggest surprise was that the staff works in both hotels (Doubletree & Home2) as they are connected. I am so impressed with the staff, everyone I have had contact with has been fantastic. The location off the 401 (exit Sydenham Road to Princess St) is so quick & convenient. Lots of grocery stores to stop stock up the fridge within couple of minutes. Almost forgot to mention breakfast is served daily. I certainly will stay here again.

It wasn’t near much, but that was ok. Otherwise it likely would have cost more per night. Continental breakfast was pretty standard. Free coffee in lobby 24/7. New and clean. Nice decor. Free parking. Pool and hot tub were small but sufficient. Might be harder to use when busier. I was there on a weekday.

Hôtel bien situé proche des commodités. Situé sur Princess street, à 15minutes en voiture du centre ville de Kingston. Parking disponible et gratuit. Petit déjeuner compris. L’hôtel est propre, la literie est confortable, chambre et salle de bain lumineuses et spacieuses. Le personnel est globalement accueillant mis à part une dame à l’accueil. Bonne adresse pour une escale à Kingston.

Hotel facilities and services are good, the air conditioning heating sound is relatively large at night, a little affecting sleep.
