The only issue that I had is that the unit above my room (101) was very noisy. It seemed that a group was moving things across the area at 11 pm. It was not restful. After 11 pm, things weee quiet. I stay at the DGC periodically and it is my preferred hotel n Kingston

Beautiful property and grounds in a nice quiet neighborhood with a half hour walk to downtown, and 10 minute walk to the lake. Great hot breakfast and free parking included. Parking is important as all the downtown parking lots are $40-$50 per night!
