We had to stop here at midnight in a storm, where the driving conditions were dangerous. We were able to get a lovely room, reasonably priced, clean, comfortable, and quiet. Our breakfast the next morning could not have been better, and the lady working there was a delightful person, very kind and friendly. We would like to come back again sometime for a little holiday and visit to Kingston.

Even just seeing the hotel for the first time as you drive into the parking lot, you have an indication that it's a great place to stay. My stay was extended due to work and this place felt like home pretty much right away. Front desk and cleaning staff are professional in the extreme and congruent with the overall excellence of the facility.
