Tom's Place is the star at this comfortable mid-range hotel in the west end of Kingston.
Pros:

Tom's Place is a definite hit as an old-fashioned pub. Excellent food, ambience and attentive staff. My wife is gluten/lactose intolerant and was able to have some GF options added to some sandwich options, with no ill effects.
Don't have to leave the hotel which is great if you want a few drinks to unwind.
Room was comfortable enough but a bit dark. It had a safe for valuables which is always useful.

Cons:

1) Room bathroom was a little small, can't fit two people in comfortably
2) Parking at the east entrance isn't that big. When we arrived , there were big puddles of rain right in front of the entrance door, which was awkward when you're trying to bring suitcases in to the room. That area needs to be improved to provide better weather protection. The road also needs attention.
3) The general hotel exterior is tired and dated. Needs some updating/refreshing.
4) Our room didn't have a kettle or microwave but there was a small fridge.

Cosy place to stay
Pros:

Cosy spacious room, clean bathroom, 2 restaurants, close to railway station

Cons:

It is only credit card you can pay. Google pay didn't work. If you lost your physical card, can be a problem.
