Best Hotels near Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts, Kingston

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.

The hotel is very good, it is the Kingston tourist destination. We arrived in the afternoon, the front desk was very small and it was in the elevator. The registration took only 2 minutes to complete. There were no toothbrushes and toothpaste in the room, no combs, no shoes, and everyone had to bring them.

Great hotel with a beautiful view 🤩

Hotel facilities and services are good, the air conditioning heating sound is relatively large at night, a little affecting sleep.

We stayed in the Sydenham tower suite- what a beautiful and special space! More than just another hotel room with its unique tower - made me feel like royalty. Complimentary cookies and beverages always available was another perk. The room was clean and well-appointed and the bed was very comfortable. The staff was pleasant and helpful, but they were a little overwhelmed at breakfast and had a hard time keeping track of people and orders. Breakfast arrived cold- we would give breakfast a 7/10. The air conditioner was very noisy, turning on and off throughout the night. Despite these minor issues, we would happily stay there again and have no hesitation giving our stay a 5/5. We loved that they have retained the beauty and charm of a great Victorian mansion.

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.

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.

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.

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.
