Econo Lodge City Centre - Kingston

Somewhat rundown hotel in a not-great area. Tried to close our eyes to the lipstick and cigarette burns on the bedspreads. Recommend bringing slippers.

For the price I had paied I did't expect high class hotel. I was surprise there was no elevators to bring baggage up and although my room was non smoking I could smell smoke through the vents and in the hallway.However I was pleased with front desk service and with service on line when I booked the hotel.

Everything you would expect from a cheaper hotel, except the breakfast was honestly awful (hard bread, stale donuts, warm milk etc). I know the price is decent but they could have put a little more effort in to the breakfast and provide at least something edible. No real big complaints except for that. FYI, there are some B & B's in the center of town […] for not much more money, some even a little cheaper depending on the season. And don't go to Kingston in April, there's a plague of Mayflies, no joke, look it up. Read more

i had requested two double beds and got one king bed - and the hotel was sold out so they couldn't make a change and their roll-a-ways didn't fit in the king room. the check in staff person was actually quite rude - basically saying "tough luck." i understood that she didn't have any rooms, but she made it out to be expedia's fault or my fault and nothing […] she had anything to do with. the free breakfast was cold cereal, juice and some rather old looking apples - we went out to eat instead. the room was nice and clean and the bed was comfortable, but all in all, it was not my favorite hotel experience.

It has a terrible smell of smoking. Incredible, I asked for a non smoking room and the smell starts on the corridor. I can't even image the smell on the smoking area! Simply terrible! I'll never come back again.

Genuine Expedia guest review

$100 deposit taken up front for not smoking - even though the rooms reeked of smoke. Carpet was moldy because of leaking room fridge. Bathroom was moldy as well.

Just what we needed: a straightforward, clean and comfortable room we could use as a base whilst visiting Queens. The price was the deciding factor: good value. (PS: when I say "walking distance", it's a fairly long walk.)

Maybe if I was in less hurry I i would have checked the hotel out more thoroughly, but was in a hurry to get ready for the night out. Not in a clas of hotels that I thought it would have been. Continental breakfast was OK. Will not stay again.

Friendly staff. Good free breakfast, plenty of parking & Wifi. 2 halal joint nearby. Giant Tiger store across d hotel. Fully recommended.

Left a note at front desk- all the things wrong with our room-light didn't work, tv unplugged, found out why when we plugged it in, it buzzed the whole time, bathroom was dirty, hair in sink and all over door, floor dirty. Noise in wall all night! Front desk person did not even apologize or try to make ammends for our awful night stay!

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel was clean and the front desk was very friendly and helpful. We had an unfortunate stituation. There was a dog down the hall that was left alone in the room for several hours that yelped continually. We have never encountered anything like this before and will certainly ask about the pet policy before booking another hotel room.

Cigarette smoke filled the back entryway and the non-smoking hallway. Terrible.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Bathroom had no ventilation, good internet an clean rooms though

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The room was clean and comfortable. No fridge in room. Hallways and lobby reek of cigarette smoke. Much too expensivefor what you get. I would not recommend nor will I return.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

when we came in they did not tell me here my room was. and when i walked down the hall to find it there was no numbers on the all say 100-120 or something like that would have been nice. if it was there it was not where it should be where you would see it like on the door entering the hall or on the wall just before entering

Ladies at the desk very helpful. Recommened excellent place to eat. We had a problem with the TV not working & the lady on the desk was in our room to fix the problem in less than 5 minutes.The bathroom was clean and had lots of supplies. Air conditioner was nice and quiet. Shopping close by.

The staff were very pleasant and helpful as they are each year when I visit. Actually two of them remembered me, which was lovely.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The gap underneath the bedroom door was large enough for someone to stick their entire hand through. Outside doors were not locked in the evening. Overall I felt like if I left the room someone would break into it and steal our stuff.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The beds were sooooo comfortable. There were 3 of us, so we had to ask for more towels, pillows, etc. Parking was the pits. Continental breakfast wasn't very good. My nother is 87 and the walk to the front desk was just too far. Back door was unlocked at all times

I stayed one night at this hotel, and I will go back to it next time for longer stays. Clean room and bathroom, and free Wifi in the room. Free continental breakfast. Located on the main street that ends in downtown. 35 minutes walk to the harbour front Kingston, and closer to other down town neighbourhoods. Supermarket and drugstore right cross the […] street. Shortfalls: no elevators, so hard for carrying heavy luggage. The hallway on the second floor smelled a bit like an old buidling. Also, sometimes I could hear my neighbours talking (I think thru the bathroom walls). Given the price, however, this was a very good hotel to stay in. Read more

Staff were courteous and helpful. Complimentary breakfast was nice. Wi-Fi service very poor.

I object to being woken up at 5:00 am by noise coming through paper thin walls. I also object to be required on check in to post a $100 damage deposit.

Our stay was ok. The bed was never made for us we had to do that. The garbage was forgotten several times. The breakfast was so so. The girl on the desk was very helpful and the bed was comfortable. The air conditioning was excellent. The smell of stale smoke in the hall let much to be desired.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Only stayed for 1 night, but was very satisfied. Hotel was very clean and the room was comfortable. Breakfast was continental - very good. Would stay for more than 1 night - is a good place to stay for a few days holiday if you want a hotel at a reasonable price.

good for a stay over but not much more

The only thing I really would have liked would have been a coffee maker in room.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We stayed for one night, it served the purpose for what we needed but I think there were a few better hotels closer to where we wanted to go, I was a little disappointed in the hotel and the immediate neighbourhood.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

It was one of the better hotels that I have stayed in.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The Econo Lodge is not at all fancy, but is clean, convenient and quiet. The staff members are friendly. The breakfast is just barely there (toast and cereal), but is cheaper than a restaurant. You get what you pay for, and this is good value for dollar.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We stayed for a week-end here, and it was awesome. The staff could not do enough for us. The situation of the hotel was great, we just had to walk to our destinations.We would definetly stay here again and will tell all our friends about this place

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel was dirty especially the halls and the bathroons. The room smelled so bad we asked to be moved. Breafast was as follows, water down orange jusice, no hot water or paper towels at the sink in the breakfast area. Depite being prepaid to Expedia they took a 100.00 deposit for misc although there was no mini bar in the room. I would take this […] hotl off of your list. Even a 2 star hotlel should be clean.

The Hotel was fine. The room I stayed in was fine for a night - nothing lavish, but comfortable enough. The woman at the front desk was very friendly. If I was on a nice vacation, I don't think I would stay there, but if you need something affordable for the night, I would recommend this hotel. Didn't take "advantage" of the continental breakfast as […] i like something a little healthier anyway and went downtown to eat. CONS - I was on the second floor and the hallway STUNK of cigarette smoke (even though it looked like only the last 4 rooms were smoking rooms). If you can handle that, then you should be fine.

We were hopeful upon checking in as the sign outside stated "Newly Renovated". After checking in, we were hard-pressed to notice what had actually been renovated. There was one ice/pop machine for the entire hotel, and the ice machine was broken. We went down to the front desk to ask for ice, and the poor girl actually had to run across the street to […] buy some for us! That was wonderful of her (her name is Emily) but she shouldn't have been put in that position. The hotel halls smelled like a wet dog, and we were wakened the morning of check-out at 8:30 by the chambermaids. We hadn't put out our Do Not Disturb sign, but really, check out is 11!! The price of the rooms was reasonable, but we have stayed in better hotels for that same price. I really feel that actual renovation needs to take place for people to want to have a repeat stay at this hotel. Read more

Overall satifaction was good but entertainment facility is very limited.TV and other stuffs are very old.For over night staying, this place are quiet.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The front desk staff was very efficient & friendly, but I feel that she was over worked. She was at the hotel until midnight & then back by 9am working the front desk & the breakfast area. There needed to be at least 2 people there to do the job properly. We had a difficult time sleeping due to the street noise & the slamming doors in the hotel.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Friendly staff and helpful. Clean room; fridge; limited TV channels. Useful for passing through/one night/utility. Neighbourhood is dingy (but safe), but motel is nice. Lots of parking. Breakfast is basic: toast, cereal, pastries, and fruit BUT "all-you-can-eat", so we ate well the spot for long drive home. Recommend it for a cheap place to stay, and […] very near heart of city. Best price-for-quality -- got 2 Queen Size beds for what others were charging for closet-sized 1 double bed! Also, pet-friendly but won't permit you to leave dogs unattended in room (rightly so!); I will definitely be coming back with my dogs for sure. Recommended! Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

While the hotel staff isn't all that interested in you, the parking is strangely situated and the continental breakfast was not as good as others I've experienced, the room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The price was better than that at any of the many others hotels on Princess Street, so I'd definitely be willing to stay there again.

we came back to celebrate our 1st anniversary where we met last yr the stay was enjoyable weather was beautiful the activities were with in a walk from the hotel would go back again thank you

The Kingston Econo Lodge is well placed on the Pricess Street and provides good value: free parking, free wi-fi, free breakfast, good and clean rooms. The walls could use more sound-proofing, but otherwise OK. Good value.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Upon arriving it took about 15minutes for them to confirm our room. Told us to come back at 2pm as the people before had not checked out and the room still needed cleaning. We went back to the hotel at 2pm and the gentleman on the desk was extremely more helpful and pleasant than the person that had been there earlier. It said the hotel had just undergone […] renovations--sure didn't look like it. As well, the stairways to the room were rather unkept--needed a good washing! Even though we had requested a smoking room, we were appalled at the stench of the room--we even went and bought Febreeze and sprayed everything right down to the curtains--nothing removed the odor. We were a little disappointed that there was no microwave or coffee brewer in the room. Most places have them, including the Econo Lodge we stayed in elsewhere. To be honest with you, we would never stay in this hotel at this location again. Very disappointed to say the least. You would think for the money you spend to stay there, that the acccommodations would be somewhat better! Read more
