I had an absolutely wonderful stay for one night. The whole place is beautiful, charming, and full of character. The accommodation itself is incredibly cozy and well maintained, and everything was perfectly clean throughout my stay. The staff were especially amazing — always friendly, helpful, and welcoming, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I stayed in the Coverdale Room, and it was absolutely lovely: comfortable, stylish, and very relaxing. It was also possible to check in early Breakfast was also fantastic. There were two options to choose from, and I decided to try the club breakfast, which was absolutely delicious. The location is excellent as well, making it easy to explore and enjoy Kingston. I truly felt comfortable and cared for during my entire stay, and I would definitely come back again. Highly recommended!

The room was well appointed and exactly as described. Our room was on the third floor so if you have mobility issues, it may be a concern - we didn't mind the stairs. The bed was comfortable, sheets were of high quality. The bathroom has nice ammenities. Breakfast was delicious. Staff was friendly but we only saw the waiter. I liked the Keurig in the room- convenient for the first coffee of the morning. We would definitely stay here again.
