Parking was convenient and easy.
The kitchen was well equipped.
Our room had none of the items listed as available for purchase in the refrigerator.
We never received a code to enter the main door to obtain our key; fortunately another guest arrived and let us in.
The room was immaculate and it was a great location; an easy walk to restaurants and shops.

Gorgeous property! We stayed at the Belvedere recently as well and this time brought friends to enjoy the Smith (three rooms total). We were all suitably impressed and will return! Special shout out to Melanie - such a gem. And the front desk agent who recognized my husband on the Smith "Ring" cam from our Belvedere stay (cannot recall her name but I believe she is from Brazil - she is so lovely). Kudos to all!

This is the 4th time we have stayed here and it is lovely as usual. A little bit of a parking issue was handled quickly. Beautiful & comfortable room and the location is convenient and walkable to shopping and restaurants.

The property is beautiful. Our room was incredible, a bit industrial/modern. Full kitchen, living room, loft bedroom. There was a record player to listen to and a speaker you could pair your music with also, which was fun.
There was an issue where they didn’t provide us with the code to get into the building, which delayed our entry by two hours, in the rain. Very frustrating. Plus the very next day was the beginning of the month in which that code changes and we were not notified all day until just before 2 PM. However, these things were addressed with management, so may not be an issue next time.

The Smith Hotel: A Must Stay
This is a beautiful hotel with a great location near everything in downtown. The loft was amazing, interior decor was spectacular. Though contactless it was still easy to communicate with staff through their text service. Check in and checkout process was seamless. Wonderful hotel.

This hotel was really beautiful, clean and such a retreat. Contactless entry was easy and parking was also really simple. We enjoyed having the Bluetooth speaker, the toiletries smelled fantastic and the kitchen was set up perfectly. The bed and linens were so comfy. Would recommend this place for sure.

The Smith hotel is our favourite in Kingston. Easy to get to restaurants and the main strip but the best are the rooms. Beautiful, super clean with everything you might need. We love the record player and that each room is unique. Can’t wait to try a different room next time.

This was by far the coolest hotel we have ever stayed at! Weekend away without the kids, and this place was just perfect for our getaway. Heritage building mixed with modern day style and amenities was breathraking. We will be back again soon!

Great location and beautiful building.
The loft room was beautiful and had everything you need for your stay. Only thing to be aware of is the heating system does make regular noise and there is no elevators. For light sleepers, bring your earplugs.
Hotel is located right downtown surrounded by eateries and shops.
