"Old world charm with modern updates. It’s very stylish and comfortable. The free bottled water in the lobby came in handy for those hot summer days. And the breakfast had lots of choices. My favorite being the croissant breakfast sandwich. The neighbourhood is filled with Victorian homes and stunning gardens and is oh so quiet. Short walks to the university, restaurants and the lake. I highly recommend the Rosemount Inn."

Top Downtown Kingston Hotel Reviews

Residence Inn by Marriott Kingston Water's Edge

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hôtel, emplacement de rêve, chambre vue sur le port incroyable, déjeuner parfait."

The Belvedere Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"The hotel was beautiful upon approach and when walking in. The young lady at the front desk was lovely. Our room was clean and well equipped, but it was tiny (queen room)! And our view was of an apartment building and a parking lot (which included a porta potty, a scissor lift, and a dump truck). “Boxed” water was not offered as a free item, but was $4 each (in a $500 room), and we were notified approximately a week and a half before our arrival date that the lounge and patio would be unavailable the night of our stay due to a wedding. One would hope for some kind of compensation offer as a result (maybe free parking in the hotel lot located 2 blocks away)? In general, I had hoped for more TBH."

Spacious and bright Condo with stunning views of downtown Kingston.

10/10 Excellent

"The location is great, it is directly next to the waterfront and downtown Kingston; you can easily walk to everything you need. Parking is a bit tricky, but manageable. The company across opens the gates to its parking all weekend long and on the street you can pay and park for 2-3 hours between 9am-5pm with the remainder of the time being free.The Condo itself is spacious and bright, just as described in the listing with wonderful views."
