Hotels Near Hudson's Bay in Kingston

first off we visited the hotel during the coronavirus pandemic so there were things that were shut down due to this. The pool was available two customers on a booking schedule so you would book it for 45 minutes and the pool was your entire families which I thought was an excellent idea. since the hot tub could contribute to coronavirus it was shut down that was understandable and since the water slide needed a lifeguard they shut it down so there wouldn't be life guards with your family do to Corona and that was understandable as well. The hotel is located ten feet away from a small outlet mall which my wife light as well there were many fast food in casual restaurants nearby. If you wanted to be downtown you had about a five minute or so drive so it was not as good as some of the resorts on the waterfront but it was significantly better price and the rooms were excellent. Each room had a nice TV microwave and fridge..and was very spacious they had walk-in showers instead of bathtubs which I thought was an excellent idea. one thing to know they did not have a coffee maker in the room due to coronavirus issues ETC. They did not have any included breakfast as well but I got an excellent price thank you to trip.com. and that easily made up for no breakfast. overall trip.com saved me easily 50 Canadian dollars a night so compared to a riverfront hotel over $125 per night was saved. I felt this was well worth the inconvenience of being a 5 minute drive from downtown... parking downtown with no issue and typically was 4 to $5 so even when you tag in the gas to drive downtown the parking and everything I still saved an incredible amount of money for this very nicely appointed hotel I would recommend trip.com hands down and I would recommend this hotel unless you absolutely needed to be right downtown.

Very elegant hotel, surrounded by greenery. Breakfast is great: in addition to regular food, there are grilled vegetables and vegetable salads, and there are berries and blueberries in the fruit. The service is also good. When leaving, I tip the front desk and refused to accept it.

”WeLoveQueens” special offer really isn't special: we had a tour of the university and loved the look and location of the Hocalaga online. In person, the neighborhood and building are very attractive, but the advertised special was anything but: the website promises VIP amenity package, free room upgrades and more! Our room was very basic: king bed, two nightstands, one chair, TV, portable A/C, and ensuite bathroom (best part of the room), and was located at the rear entrance, which is the only entrance after 7:30PM, and right at the breakfast / reception station. While we expected a relaxing stay, it was noisy, either from the people above, or the clattering of dishes / constant traffic outside our door. The view out the two windows was of the walkway everyone uses to enter the building, and of a wood pile & emergency staircase. We were texted, before even unpacking, that a tip was requested for our cleaning staff, but no one cleaned our room during the stay! No fresh towels or linen service, and after a long day in kingston, there wasn't even anyone at the desk to ask for service until the next morning. Breakfast was good, but be aware only a continental breakfast is included. It did feel a bit like a cattle call at times when queuing to get breakfast or a cup of coffee. The dining area is nice, but was overwhelmingly stuffy and hot with 15+ people in it; outdoor dining was more temperate and enjoyable. Overall, it's a lovely building in a lovely area, but we will stay elsewhere next time.

Stayed at this hotel during both my daughters' graduations from Queen's since it was really close to the Leons Centre, where the ceremonies were held. -Hotel is very close to everything, walking distance to alot of restaurants and we were even able to walk to Queen's campus. -Breakfast was included and it came in take-out containers that we picked up in their cafeteria in the morning. It included a muffin, 2 boiled eggs, cheese, fruit and a juice. You could also order coffee or tea with it. -Hotel was very clean and staff were very friendly. Only thing I did not like was that there were too many people hanging around the hotel steps during the day and night, not sure if they were transients or patrons staying at the hotel. -Parking was about $20 per day underground but you can also park across the street for much cheaper. Their underground parking was very limited but we always managed to get a parking spot every day. -Our hotel room was very clean, Yes it looked kind of dated but you can tell that they had made some renovations to it. We had a city view and it overlooked downtown Kingston. Had no issues with A/C. Bathroom had no vent so when we showered, the steam from the shower made our floor wet due to condensation I guess? -There was no housekeeping but they did change our towels daily. Overall, an average hotel and it served its purpose for our stay.

My wife and I like to stretch out in hotels so the twin-bedroom suite at this hotel seemed the obvious choice when we visited Kingston. Unfortunately, this particular accommodation doesn't seem to get used much, as we learned gradually during our stay. First issue - the air conditioning unit in the shared lounge worked gangbusters, sending out a blast of cold air with a lot of noise, but virtually nothing made it into the rooms. A technician came quickly and discovered the vents had basically clogged shut. Second issue - the fan in the bathroom next to my room couldn't be shut off. There was no switch. I went downstairs and asked the person at the front desk whether I was mistaken and there was in fact a switch and he said he'd check. Whatever the results of the check, no one got back to me. So the droned on noisily through the night, making my life miserable. Third issue - my wife, a heavier sleeper than me, kindly offered to swap bedrooms. Throughout the night there was an intermittent clanging noise from above, as if a cord had come loose from a flag pole, or a panel in the air conditioning was flapping. The next morning I went down to the desk and asked them to look into it and they said they would. Again. no one ever got back to me, and whatever it was clanged away off and on the next two nights. My wife paid for these rooms - more than $2,000 Canadian for four nights (!) - and is a more forgiving soul than I am. Had this been on my tab there would have been a frank exchange with management and a request for a partial refund. As it is, we certainly won't be staying here again the next time we visit Kingston.

Not our first time to the hotel. And definitely, not our last. Spacious, bright , clean rooms. Love the balcony overlooking the harbor. Highly recommend this hotel. Cant ask for better staff, reception, restaurant and of course the cleaning personnel. Special thanks to Ashlee ( hope I spelled that right) Our room was spotless and thanks for the question if you can do anything else for us. You made us feel very special.Also a big thank you to the server at breakfast. I am very sorry I did not catch your name. Breakfast was delicious ( thanks to the cook too ;) ).All in all , we will be back.

My gal & I do several road trips a year, spring & fall. We are spots car buffs with a few toys.On our way to Ottawa we booked the Delta Kingston. Not good value. Maybe at half what we paid....The room very typical, dated & tired as compared to what I now expect from Delta. BIG ONE... The car ramp entrance to the lobby, if you can find it, has an extremely steep sharp up ramp. If you are driving a low sports car DON”T do it.I was extremely careful I scraped the front spoiler on our sports car. Terrible ramp. While leaving to walk for dinner, my gal slipped & fell on the same driveway. It's terrible. If you are staying here, drive a truck.lol. I will however tell you the staff was awesome, one of the best hotel experiences we have had in a while in terms of staff.Well done... Who ever is hiring & training....don't change a thing... We paid almost double for one night that we are paying in Ottawa downtown.

It wasn’t near much, but that was ok. Otherwise it likely would have cost more per night. Continental breakfast was pretty standard. Free coffee in lobby 24/7. New and clean. Nice decor. Free parking. Pool and hot tub were small but sufficient. Might be harder to use when busier. I was there on a weekday.

Comfortable bed!! Great selection of COVID friendly breakfast items, fresh coffee with real cream. Good location just a few minutes from town. Clean room. Pool was closed but looked like it would be awesome in warmer weather. Very happy with our stay!
