    Mother daughter trip to Kingston
    • Leisure trip

    • Standard Deluxe Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    The glass shower screen needs to be larger, water from the shower goes everywhere and there was no bath matt, so very slippery. There needs to be a caution sticker by the shower and or larger shower screens. We were there for one night and came to reception on two occasions but it was quite late in the evening, and didn't see anyone at reception to ask for a matt.

    The staff were amazing when my mother slipped and fell in the bathroom after a shower. Special thanks to Monique who upgraded us to a Jamaican breakfast, arranged for a doctor to come to to the hotel to assess my mothers injury's and even contacted me a few weeks after my trip to check on my mother.

    Having to pay additional cost for a Jamaican breakfast. No pots or pans in kitchenette if you really wanted to cook something. WiFi kept dropping in and out.

    Large, clean room with huge bed, kitchenette, washing machine and dryer. Room was well insulated from outside traffic noise. Friendly staff.

    This note is for the management of the hotel. Lunch and dinner service and pool are temporarily unavailable. Help the dining staff to be less defensive when explaining that Jamaican breakfast is an extra cost by stating it in written info. and by the receptionist. They expect an argument when explaining this, so take the heat out of the issue by showing them to be matter-of-fact. Also, train them to explain what's available - the content of the continental breakfast. For example, welcome to our breakfast service, help yourself to.... if you prefer a local breakfast, this is what is available today at a cost of....... I'm here should you have any questions. Something like this will give a great impression when consistently done by all. They worked hard to give a good service experience otherwise.

    The room and hotel layout. Similar to hotels in Europe. The security too.

    The upstairs restaurant/bar was closed due to renovations. That's fine, but it should be stated at some point prior to booking. This may be an issue with the Booking platform though.

    I've stayed in the Hotel several times because it's one of the more comfortable hotels in the city. Short walk to the shops as well as the a few local attractions.

    After a long flight with the restaurant out of action we were disappointed not to be able to purchase something to eat, not even something light.

    Stop over after a long flight from the UK. Excellent location not too far from airport. This has been several stay and would recommend. There are ample parking spaces. Breakfast was superb unfortunately the restaurant was not open because of renovations works but this was sent before hand In a notification.
