The staff werereal friendly and helpful. There was no restaurants around the area and things were not walking distance. We booked a queen size bed and was given a double bed. They advertise breakfast which included muffin, yogurt , bananas, oranges,apples coffee and tea. Even though the room was clean i would rate it a 2 star.

Disliked: Amenities
The staff were nice. They offered us room temperature bottles of water. Our card keys kept deactivating. Our room was not maintained well, outlet not working, hangers hanging from the ceiling vent. The pool was closed during the summer. Breakfast was fresh fruit and coffee/tea/water. We were told not to drink the water so we brushed our teeth with bottle water.

My experience at this Howard Johnson was not good. I had to leave a day early on a three night booking, and was promised, but never received, a refund for the last night. I had spotty wifi access the first night, which did not bother me too much. However, the next day, I could not access the internet at all. I reported the problem to the man at the desk, who came to my room and tested it on his phone, which seemed to work OK. He said the ISP had just fixed some issues and he would be calling them ISP to get the problem fixed. The next day I still had no access. Before leaving for the day, I was told that the ISP would be looking at the issue again. I also discovered that the wifi was odd and only worked within each room in the motel. My devices worked fine elsewhere, just not here. After a day of sightseeing, I returned to find that there was still no wifi in my room. I told the man at the desk that I could not stay another night without internet access and that I was leaving. I asked for a refund for the last night and was told that I would have to ask for it through Expedia since they could not otherwise process it. I agreed. Since then I have not received a refund, even after multiple requests. I feel robbed and this cast a big shadow on my little relax trip to Kingston. Very unprofessional, I obviously will never stay there again.

The best thing about this property and my stay was the bed. I had the best night of sleep for three nights in a row. The second best thing is the staff and friendliness of the people that work at this hotel. My only complaint was the quality of the Internet. Kept cutting in and out it made it difficult for me to get some work done.
