I would happily stay there again.
Pros:

The hotel was exceptionally clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. It was an excellent experience.

Cons:

Nothing could have been better. The small issue was lack of parking. But certainly not a big deal.

Amazing experience
Pros:

We had stayed at the hotel with a hockey team for a tournament in Kingston and there was a mix up and the hotel called and went over and above to ensure we had a room and didnt lose our reservation. Owen from group sales was professional and very helpful.
Thank you for making this experience great for us and the team.
