Great room size and love that all rooms are on the 2nd floor and there are stairs (not emergency exit stairs) so no elevator waiting! The room and common areas are a little worn but overall clean and very easy to get comfortable in the room. The fireplace is the best (we visited in January).

Our Stay at the Kensington Arts Hotel was very relaxing. This small boutique hotel was clean, the staff was helpful and the included breakfast was good. Also, you can’t beat the location. Just outside of downtown, nice trails along the river and lots of quaint shops and eateries nearby.
