Danielle, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A great spot to stay at that's not too far from Queen's University and the downtown area. They have free parking on-site, but it's still a reasonable walk to main campus and downtown area or a short bus ride away, if you don't have a car. I was pleasantly surprised by the breakfast buffet and the staff were so attentive. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone who is visiting Kingston.

10/10 Exceptional

Clean, quiet, and rustic charm. Grounds were beautiful. Shout out to the older lady working at the buffet - such a happy person with a tremendous big smile. Loved her energy. The included breakfast was a full buffet with a ton of options. It’s a short Uber ride to all the restaurants and bars downtown. I enjoyed my stay and would come again.
