8/10 Good
"The hotel experience was great, I really like the location, and the aesthetic. As well as the 3 bars throughout the hotel. However, I was a bit disappointed by some of the things my room was lacking, such as a microwave, a fridge, and space to hold our luggage. Quite frankly, for the price we paid, I think we may have some better options, but we didn’t leave disappointed. The rooms are small. Best suited for one or two adults maximum. The bathroom is decent, but the shower design leaves a lot to be desired. We found it a bit awkward and hard to avoid water spillage. In terms of cleanliness? No complaints at all. Our room was very well maintained and clean. Upon check out, we were happy to discover that we could leave our luggage at the front desk for safe keeping while we explored during the day."

How can I get to Kensington and get around on a budget?
Scoping out the transportation options in Kensington can help keep you on budget. The most convenient airport is 8.7 mi (14.1 km) from the centre in College Park, MD (CGS). However, if that doesn't suit your budget, you can look into flights to Gaithersburg, MD (GAI-Montgomery County Airpark), which is 10.8 mi (17.4 km) away. Kensington may not have many public transport options to choose from so a car rental could be a reasonable alternative to see the area.
