"Cons: The staff were very accommodating and nice. When I booked on booking.com I booked with breakfast but something happened after I booked that the breakfast was dropped. But the manager have my parents and brother a free complimentary breakfast" ~Imran
"Pros: Mary is lovely and is keen to make your stay enjoyable! Her house is in a quiet neighbourhood outside of the main/downtown area of Kingston, but it's just off John A MacDonald, so it's only a 10min drive to the Penitentiary and another 5 into the downtown core. I was there a few nights and Mary insisted I couldn't have the same thing for breakfast every day (I normally just have toast). I was treated the first day to her excellent eggs (made the good ol' Irish way!) made just like my mom's and the second day I was greeted to the most enormous waffle I've ever seen - completely home made! Day 3 I needed to leave earlier than breakfast, but Mary made sure I had a few bottles of juice to take with me (so sweet)!
The guest rooms are in the basement (steep steps to get down). The open area of the basement contains a microwave, mini fridge, cups, glasses, towels and some toiletries - and even a shoe rack full of slippers for the cold bathroom tile floor! I was the sole guest for my stay, so I don't know about the other rooms but mine was spacious enough and the cable worked (which is all I really need when on a trip). The sheets and towels appeared clean enough, no bugs that I could see/feel!
I'd definitely recommend this place for a short term stay!
Cons: The house/room looked clean enough, but once I was in/settled, I noticed there were cobwebs in a lot of corners and small spiders were actively living in the top corner of the bathroom by the door. There were also a couple dead bugs (potato bug was the biggest). There were flyswatters everywhere (1 in my room and 2 in the main basement area) which I used for the live bugs, but it left a feeling of 'not 100% clean.' There also appeared to be toothpaste splatter down the walls beside the sink in the bathroom (which was not from me) and the part of the sink near the wall seemed to be a little grimy. In saying all this, this isn't a B&B with staff and cleaners - pretty sure it's just Mary (and I can see she does her very best)." ~Erin
"Pros: That they listened to what I needed and it was perfect for my mom who is elderly and has a very hard time walking long distances. Loved that there was a pub and restaurant on site. This was major. Breakfast was included. Staff was very friendly. Exceptional staff. In all areas.
Cons: Could use some updating for sure but was very clean. Newer TV would have also been nice." ~Doris
