Wasn't overly impressed with the room, bathroom was very small. Guests were actually parked in the covered through-way while they checked in completely blocking it. We had to run out in the rain (on our way to a wedding) as our husbands couldn't pull up to the entrance due to parked cars. We arrived at the wedding soaking wet. Perhaps there should be no parking there??

Poor room for the money
November 19, 2014

I stayed here for two nights, paid $227 a night. The room was extremely poor - it was a ground floor handicap-accessible room in not great condition. The lightswitches were all about a foot low, there were hooks everywhere in the ceiling, and the shower had no tub - it was just part of the bathroom floor. The least they could have done was take the big metal and plastic handicap shower seat out... more

We were excited to be staying so close to the waterfront in Kingston. However, we were disappointed with how poorly it appeared to be taken care of.

Only hotel on waterfront with balcony

We booked with Holiday Inn because they are the only waterfront hotel with balconies. We did have a balcony, however there was a large crab apple tree that was over grown, and blocked any view from the balcony. Waterfront and or even parking lot. The mattresses in both double /queen beds should have been replaced years ago. The room was very musty smelling. The facility really should be torn... more

My wife and I have stayed here many times over the years, including earlier this summer. Everything about our visit was excellent, with the exception of the outdoor pool still being out of commission. Outdoor patio with live music on weekends was a lot of fun. Staff was very pleasant and professional, as usual. You can't beat the location of this hotel.

Weekend trip
July 22, 2014

All balconies dirty and covered with spiders and spider webs. Hotel is not kid friendly. We were here for a soccer tournament and the children wanted to relax a bit on the small grass area next to the pool but they were asked to leave in a very impolite way because that area was reserved for wedding's only. Guess what? There wasn't a single wedding there all weekend. Shame on the hotel.

The real issue we had was the water. Shower was difficult to figure out, bathroom tap dripped and was hard to adjust.

If you have a lot of money, fine. If you want to save some money, stay in the area - meaning Ontario or Princess St, but not necessarily this hotel. It's overpriced for me. At this price I would like a more modern hotel with a way better view. The "king waterfront" view, is not so waterfront if you ask me.

This hotel is centrally located in downtown Kingston and is on the water. The rooms are standard, however, the desk is a well-designed L-shaped (good for business travellers). The staff were very cordial and helpful. Good place to stay in downtown Kingston, especially given the price.
Also, the bathroom felt as though it had heated floors, which is always nice.

We enjoyed our stay at the Holiday Inn Kingston Waterfront. It's not as nice as the other Holiday Inn in Kingston (beside the 401), but likely it's just because this is a much older hotel.

January 22, 2014

The rooms are tired and shabby. The sheers in 212 still have all the snags, as if a cat has tried to climb up them. The breakfast buffet is only lukewarm and not very tasty -- not worth the money. The elevator doors in the lobby still have those ugly pictures of the City -- not attractive at all. There... more

We like the waterfront location. It is always a pleasure to walk around the waterfront and stop for homemade ice cream or visit the Guild Craftshop

It is far too pricey for what it is. And it always has been. Interestingly, we stay there to sleep but we never eat there. For some reason, the lounge or dining area has not been inviting.
