Average stay, above average price

Cleanliness is rather average. Not dirty, but not completely shiny. Especially when specifically asked for 4 people's supplies by black & white messages and was replied positively; resulted only the common 2 person supplies were provided. Grab & Go Breakfast was understandable but was the worst I have encountered by far. There were not even bakery products supplied, only muffin, fruits and drinks; would rather call that "Refreshments provided" than "Breakfast".

I’ve stayed at several Howard Johnson hotels. I’ve never had an unpleasant experience and this stay was no different. Very accommodating as I had an emergency at home and needed to bring my children. We received an upgrade for our room with only a very small fee. I would definitely stay again!

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Definitely not worth over $150 for 1 night!! WHY?? Desk clerk didn't ask about rewards program, which is supposed to be a perk. Not impressed that check-in time is an hour later than any other motel chain. It's not accessible to 5/8 of anything by walking... The whole idea of booking a hotel after being on the road for many long hours is you don't want to have to drive fifteen minutes to find a place to have dinner... Specifically booked the room at this hotel because of the restaurant on adjacent premises. Only to find when we got here that It's closed and apparently renovating. The room itself leaves quite a bit to be desired... 1. No bin for recyclables, anywhere in the room. 2. The only way to get ice is to go to the main desk but there's no bucket to put ice in, so why bother? 3. Would be nice to have a radio in the room in case you don't want to the whopping 22" t v 4. The tv picture could at least fill the screen 5. Towels in the bathroom need to be larger .. like a bath sheet size.. the ones available would not wrap around my 3-year-old granddaughter, let alone a grown adult. 6. The towel rack in the bathroom is pulled away from the wall..so much so that if you grab it the wrong way, somebody's going to get hurt 7. No anti-slip treads in the tub 8. Not sure why there's an iron when there's nothing to use an iron on. 9. The bathroom door doesn't close properly 10. Why is the toilet paper hidden under a metal plate behind the door?

The staff were nice. They offered us room temperature bottles of water. Our card keys kept deactivating. Our room was not maintained well, outlet not working, hangers hanging from the ceiling vent. The pool was closed during the summer. Breakfast was fresh fruit and coffee/tea/water. We were told not to drink the water so we brushed our teeth with bottle water.

This was a last minute booking for the week. What a great spot. Close to downtown. The room was clean and exactly what we needed. The owner (I can't remember his name) was very friendly and helpful. I thought we had a problem with the fridge, but it was just a light switch in a weird spot. LOL. Pam at the front counter was a delight! Super friendly and made sure our stay was perfect! We will definitely stay here gain!

A nice hotel not to far from the centre of Kingston. The hotel staff were extremely friendly and helpful. It was nice they offered a couple of bottles of water and at checkout they have fruit for the journey. The room was clean and good for the night. The air conditioner worked well but made a lot of noise when the fan was blowing.
