We enjoyed our stay at the Kingsgate Hotel for several reasons. The comfort of the living room space was an added bonus to the bed & shower. We ate one take home meal and it felt like home. Our suites sliding glass doors were wide open with crisp fresh air & no noise! The staff were super helpful & we were grateful for their assistance. The breakfast was more than we could have asked for or wanted to start our day.

An Excellent location The bed was Very comfortable The reception staff were attentive. I was disappointed room service and evening dinning in house were not an option. I was also disappointed the shower curtain was in need of replacing and the bath wash dispenser was empty I loved the balcony and large windows but would suggest a mark or line on the non door to prevent accidentally walking into it thinking it was an opened door. Apart from that, it was a good stay. Thank you

We got a great deal on 3 nights, thought it looked good online, when we got to the hotel the outside and lobby is quite dated so we were a bit worried about the room condition, however the room looked recently remodeled, the bed was super comfy, the bathroom was a bit dated but not bad. Staff was friendly and helpful! I wouldnt pay for the buffet breakfast but if free with your room, not the worst way to start the morning. Overall happy and would stay again
