Great Stay Again

I have stayed here twice now. I like hotels like this so much better than the large chain ones. It’s so cute when you pull up and there’s plenty of free parking. The staff is so friendly. We had a room with a bed and pull out couch. The pull out was actually comfortable which never happens. The location is amazing for anything at or near Queens. The breakfast (included) was good - something for everyone. I have 4 stars for cleanliness, perhaps harsh, as it was based in n a chair in the hall that had seen better days. I would definitely return to this hotel.

The Donald Gordon Hotel and Conference Centre was a wonderful discovery on our recent visit to Kingston. It offers reasonable rates, a convenient location close to Queen’s University, and a sense of seclusion within its spacious grounds. The rooms are well-appointed and easy to access. Breakfast was included, served buffet-style in a bright, airy dining room where we enjoyed a relaxed atmosphere alongside other guests. We will certainly return on future trips.
