The toilet ran for some time after one flush . I had to sort it myself. Which disrupted my sleep. The value for money wasn't there. I also paid for parking. Which was extra and not included as I thought it was. Will likely not stay there again.

Every year or so, we like to go to Kingston and Holiday Inn Waterfront has been the hotel of choice with many years. This time around we ask for a room with our little 12 lbs creature, a miniature pinsher and we reserve on the main level. We liked the location for the convenience but it does smell dog a bit. We had a great welcome, it looks like she enjoys of what she is doing and a few other at the desk except the Sunday morning one. We were surprise to find out they dont' do the room anymore unless we ask. We do not recommend the patio restaurant, terrible service. To follow

Staff was excellent! Food was very good, patio on the water with bad playing was very nice. The staff and management really took great care of us. Dog friendly and treated our puppy very well. They provided blankets for us when it got chilly. Really great experience. Seemed more like the Ritz type of service. Well done!
