Best Western Fireside Inn, Kingston

The hotel is very well managed. Even the breakfast is superb with fruits and fresh foods. The decor is very warm and welcoming. The best part is that there are two restaurants in the hotel so we didn't have to go anywhere to eat.

Liked: Location; good furniture; clean room; comfy beds.
Disliked: High price.

A GOOD CHOICE AND A...

Liked: We go to Kingston, Ontario, two or three times a year to meet half way between Toronto and Montreal with family; this was our first time at this hotel and we will go back. The property is very clean, it has a homey feeling with books in the room, a fireplace and many amenities like coffee in the room. The parking is free (while other others are charging), right in front and very easy accessible. The breakfast is also included which easily represents a $20.00 value for two; it offers a good choice and is being served in the main dining room. The hotel also has a computer available for guests. It is an older property that is not a multi storey building but it is very well maintained and the owner or manager is very focused on quality, cleanliness and details. Since it has a pub/bar and a dining room, you do not have to drive out at night to enjoy a meal. We just went from the room to the dining room, which is quite nice, the chairs are very comfortable and we were not pushed out. The property offers theme bedrooms that are very original but expensive ($350.00 per night or so). All in all, it is a nice place to stay at in Kingston.
Disliked: A few comments! The ladies at the front desk were a bit rough; efficient but rough; no fooling around with them. They wanted our names, the credit card and then 'NEXT!'. The same could be done in a friendlier way. The meal in the dining room (Bistro Stefan) was good but was not as high quality as we expected; we had calamari that were more like leftover pieces of calamari and other fishes instead of a real calamari dish. Our friends had the steak, but they said that it was a bit hard. These facts will not stop us from going back.

Very good

Liked: Very clean and the staff are amazingly helpful and friendly
Disliked: Very old! Not in a good way. Property desperately needs redone!

Passable

Disliked: the drain of the bathtub was blocked by hairPlastic cutlery for breakfast

Superb

Exceptional

Great place to stay.

Liked: It was quaint, almost European looking. The rooms were not like a regular hotel room. They had lovely accents, a fireplace, pine shelves with books among other things. Beds were comfortable. The breakfast buffet was very good. Staff were pleasant.
Disliked: The only thing that was noticed was a musty smell, perhaps from the carpeting which looked well used!!!!
