"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

The Smith Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Nice space and excellent location"

The Secret Garden B&B Inn

10/10 Excellent

"I enjoyed staying in this historic inn. I admire the stained glass windows, high ceilings , chandeliers and intricate millwork. The garden is so fresh, vibrant and fragrant. The babbling water feature leading to the koi pond was relaxing. The staff gave attentive service starting with emails answering my questions. The breakfasts were lovely and afternoon tea was a pleasure. The location was easily walkable to the waterfront and downtown shops. I highly recommend this property."

Quality Inn & Conference Centre Kingston Central

8/10 Good

"The checkin and staff were excellent. The facility is renovated and is decent in general for a Comfort Inn. The room appears clean, but the bathroom ceiling had mould on it and the sheets on the bed were so worn that they had holes in them. The towels were in good condition. They mentioned a “Grab and go” breakfast or get 10 % off the adjoining restaurant for breakfast. We departed around 7 am and saw no “grab and go” where we were told to find it, but my expectations were pretty low as to what it would be, so we just headed out. Being a Comfort Inn, I don’t expect much other than a reasonably adequate room at a fair price, which it delivers on. There is a fee of $6.78 for parking, which I think is rediculous for a hotel that’s not in a downtown area, but was expecting it as it was mentioned in previous reviews."
