Not five star hotel but stuff at the front desk, Sagar and Pam (professional baker) make this hotel like five star one. They are very friendly, efficient, flexible and know customer needs. I really had a nice stay couple of times. Thank you both for great hospitality.

We had a great stay here. We've stayed at other Howard Johnson properties and I think this was the best one. Stylish room, immaculately clean room and front office, and a nice comfy bed. We appreciated the free coffee machine in the office and the many pamphlets and guides to the city and its activities. A particular standout was Pam at the front desk. She was delightful, personable, helpful, cheerful, and warm. We felt like we were being greeted by family. A gem of a person.

The staff here are phenomenal and honestly that meant the world and more to me and my family. We had a family emergency and needed a last minute hotel and Sagar and Pamela made a really hard situation stress free for checking in and out. 10/10 recommend this location. Thank you

Location is very accessible and in the heart of the City. The room was clean and tidy, everything you need is available, the extra sink outside the bathroom is a bonus, and I like that we are able to park just outside our room. Its so convenient to load and unload our stuff. The free coffee and tea is a plus too! I will definitely go back here when I'm in Kingston.

This motel deserves more stars than the current online score. It is clean, staff are very helpful and pleasant to talk to. The location is also good, it is close to the downtown (too far for a walk but close by a car. It is easy access from the main road, but it is enough distance to be quiet. Our room with two queen beds had a fridge, microwave and two sinks, one in the bathroom and one kitchenette. The motel doesn't have a breakfast included, but has an excelent coffee and juicees at all time.

They advertise in bio that they offer free coffee and tea, what they don’t ( and should say!) is that they also offer complimentary slush puppies, juice, and hot chocolate! The machine is actually very nice. I had a lot of fun using it. This was a small, but very sweet gesture. I genuinely really enjoyed the free drinks. Nothing like sipping warm hot chocolate when it’s cold out. The lobby was very clean and comfortable. Just warm vibes all around. The room was spacious and beds were comfortable. Would definitely stay again.

The staff were excellent. Probably some of the friendliest I've experienced at any hotel. I will also say this was an excellent "motel". It is most certainly dated but the renovations are a nice update to hide (some) of the motel's age. Unfortunately, I inadvertently travelled during peak time. People around Kingston kept asking if we were dropping out kids at university and the motel staff said they were sold out for a military event. Paying $279 for one night in this motel is bonkers, but I don't blame Howard Johnson for that. It's just the date I needed to be there for an event myself. The free charging for my electric car helped reduce that sting.
