Housed in a historic building, the recently renovated Kingston Guesthouse provides accommodation with a garden and free WiFi. This guest house features free private parking and luggage storage space. The guest house features family rooms. The facility was wonderful and new. We had a corner room and the natural light and windows were wonderful and beautiful. Also location! We walked to downtown instead of driving. It was a 20-25 minute walk and it was perfect. Even at night we felt safe walking on the street back to our room. Parking was around the back (first come first served) or on the street for free on the weekends.
