The room was clean and had everything we needed. We loved that the parking actually could fit trucks unlike the Delta next door. And I love downtown Kingston- you could walk to everything from this hotel.

This hotel is beautifully located and the building what you would expect for Holiday Inn. The rooms are clean and somehow, even though it was clearly at capacity with younger guests and teams, they kept things very peaceful. The staff is exceptional. I had to speak to the ladies at the front desk for various things and each was professional, courtesy and made the experience very pleasant. I recommend this property if you are staying in Kingston.
