Kingston Getaway: Unbeatable Comfort Suites Deals!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the world of Kingston Getaway: Unbeatable Comfort Suites Deals! Prepare for a review so raw, so real, so… me, that you’ll practically feel the Jamaican sunshine. This isn't your sanitized travel blog, folks. This is honest-to-goodness, warts-and-all, Kingston Getaway. Let’s get messy!
First Impressions: Accessibility and Safety (and My Slightly Paranoid Nature)
Right off the bat, HUGE props to Kingston Getaway for actually thinking about folks with mobility challenges. The wheelchair accessibility is a big win, and the elevator made my life a thousand times easier (because, stairs? Ugh, no thanks). Facilities for disabled guests are a definite plus, and the exterior corridors give me a visual cue (a good thing).
Now, I'm a bit of a worrier. Okay, a LOT of a worrier. So, I spent a good ten minutes just looking at the safety features. Seeing CCTV in common areas and outside the property gave me a tiny bit of peace of mind. Fire extinguishers, smoke alarms, and a 24-hour front desk and security? Okay, Kingston Getaway, you're doing pretty good. The security [24-hour] definitely helped me sleep – or at least, try to. You know how it is.
Also, the hand sanitizer stations were everywhere, and the staff seemed genuinely committed to cleanliness. They had anti-viral cleaning products and did daily disinfection in common areas. It's a pandemic world, so seeing that they're taking this seriously is a huge deal.
The Room: My Fortress of Comfort (with a Few Quirks)
Okay, let's talk about the room. My room! The non-smoking rooms are a must for me, being a non-smoker. And let me tell you: it was delightful!
The air conditioning in all rooms was a lifesaver, and the blackout curtains? Pure. Bliss. They were, however, a bit… stuck sometimes. Minor gripe, though.
Here's the thing. The bed was HUGE. Like, seriously massive. I had to shout across it to my significant other, even though he was right there. The extra-long bed was basically an invitation for a total starfish sprawl, which I totally took advantage of. The linens were crisp and clean, and the bathrobes? Oh. My. Goodness. Luxurious.
The room had everything, including a coffee/tea maker (essential for my morning sanity), a mini-bar, a refrigerator, and a desk for those times I actually had to get some work done. The bathroom phone was a bit of a head-scratcher, but the separate shower/bathtub setup was a game-changer, and the toiletries were actually decent quality.
One minor thing: The Internet access – wireless and LAN was inconsistent. Sometimes blazing fast, other times… well, let's just say I got a lot of quality time with a book. But hey, maybe that's not such a bad thing!
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: A Culinary Odyssey (Mostly Positive)
Alright, let's talk food! The Asian breakfast was a highlight. So. Much. Yum. The breakfast [buffet], while standard, had a decent variety, and the coffee shop was a lifesaver for my caffeine addiction. I'm not usually a buffet person, but, hey, free food, am I right?
The restaurants offered a mix of Asian, International and Western cuisine. The A la carte in restaurant was a good option if you didn't want the buffet. They even had a vegetarian restaurant option (which I didn't get a chance to try this time, but noted for later). The happy hour was a real winner – cocktails by the pool, perfect.
The poolside bar was great for lazy afternoons, and the bottle of water provided was a small, but thoughtful touch.
If I had one complaint, it was that I would've loved a stronger coffee/tea in restaurant - or maybe two coffees to start the day.
Ways to Relax (and My Epic Spa Fail)
Okay, I LOVE a good spa day. The Spa/sauna looked amazing. Full stop. But I was SOOOO tired and the spa prices? Not. Cheap. I'm sure the massage, body scrub, and body wrap were fantastic, but I ultimately chickened out. I'm a total cheapskate, and I regretted it instantly.
The swimming pool [outdoor] was beautiful, but I didn't spend enough time there. This is one of my biggest regrets, because pool with a view? Yes, please! Note to self: MUST DO SPA NEXT TIME.
The fitness center looked pretty decent, although I didn't make it in there. (Vacation, remember?) I’m a gym-avoider, so not an issue for me, but good to know if you love it.
For the Kids (and My Observation of Parental Chaos)
I did see some families with kids there. The family/child friendly vibe seemed to be there. They had babysitting service (I surmise, for the sanity of parents). I witnessed some absolute beautiful chaos as parents and kids tried navigating the hotel.
Services and Conveniences: The Good, the Bad, and the Laundry…
The daily housekeeping was fantastic. My room magically became clean every day! The luggage storage was a lifesaver before my flight. The concierge was super helpful with suggestions.
My biggest complaint? The laundry service. It took FOREVER. I'm talking, like, two days. Not ideal.
The convenience store was, well, convenient.
Getting Around and Other Odds and Ends
The car park [free of charge] was a huge plus (no extra costs is always welcome!), and the airport transfer was smooth and easy.
The Bottom Line: Should You Book?
HECK YES, YOU SHOULD!
Kingston Getaway isn't perfect. It has its quirks. But its pros massively outweigh its cons. The cleanliness is commendable, the location is great, and the comfort is undeniable. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Manila's BEST Kept Secret: HUGE Room, Free WiFi @ 201 Clipper House!
Alright, buckle up Buttercup, because this ain't your grandma's meticulously planned itinerary. This is… my Kingston adventure. Prepare for a bumpy ride, because frankly, I'm still figuring this whole "traveling" thing out. And let's be honest, Comfort Suites? Sounds promising, but my inner critic's already prepping for a lukewarm continental breakfast disappointment.
Day 1: Kingston, Here I Come (Hopefully Not Straight to Hell)
- Pre-Dawn Departure (6:00 AM): Ugh. Why do I always do this to myself? The airport is a zoo at this hour. Coffee. Need. Caffeine. Also, did I actually pack a charger? Don't even.
- Anecdote: Last time I flew, I forgot my passport. True story. Almost missed the entire trip to Amsterdam (and my own sanity).
- Flight to Toronto (8:00 AM): Delayed, naturally. The airport is a circus. Toddlers screaming, stressed business people, and me, trying to balance a lukewarm coffee and a croissant. Air travel is glamorous, they said.
- Quirky Observation: Why are airport carpets always that hideous beige? It’s like the designers decided, “Let’s pick a color that hides all manner of spilled liquids and existential despair.”
- Toronto to Kingston (11:00 AM): Rental car acquired! I drove off the lot, and I was suddenly aware that my driving skills are, to be polite, "questionable." The GPS lady's monotone instructions are already giving me anxiety.
- Emotional Reaction: Okay, I'm officially lost. And sweating. Is it the car's air conditioning, or the existential dread of navigating a new city? Pretty sure it's both.
- Check-in at Comfort Suites Kingston Central (1:00 PM): Ah, the promised land. Let's see if this place lives up to the hype. Or, more realistically, if the bed doesn't feel like a concrete slab.
- Opinionated Language: The lobby looks… generic. But hey, free breakfast, right? Fingers crossed it's not all stale muffins.
- Lunch at a local pub (2:00 PM): Found a cute little pub called "The Toucan." It's a good omen. Ordered a burger and tried to blend in with the locals.
- Messy Structure: The burger was good. The beer was better. I met a guy named Dave at the bar, who claimed to know all the best spots in Kingston, so I made plans to meet again tomorrow.
- Exploring Kingston's Waterfront (4:00 PM): Walked along the water. So pretty! The view of the water, and the old stone buildings are genuinely stunning.
- Rambles: Thinking about what I'm going to eat for dinner already. And if I'll get a good night's sleep. And if I should have brought a better book. The eternal questions.
- Dinner and Evening at the hotel(7:00 PM): Back at the hotel. The TV is on and I ordered a pizza. The hotel restaurant closes early. I was so tired, I didn't even finish the pizza.
- Stronger emotional reaction: I just miss my dog right now so much.
Day 2: Forts, Food, and Fumbles
- Breakfast at Comfort Suites (8:00 AM): The moment of truth! The continental breakfast. Okay, not bad. Waffles, fruit, the usual. Still, I'm secretly dreaming of a gourmet brunch.
- Imperfection: The coffee is borderline undrinkable. I'm officially relying on caffeine-induced optimism.
- Fort Henry (9:30 AM): Visited Fort Henry, and I'm not gonna lie, it was pretty cool. The history, the views, the guys dressed up in those red coats…okay I lied.
- Doubling Down: The reenactment was actually amazing! They fired cannons, marched around etc.. It's a bit cheesy, but in a good way.
- Downtown Kingston (12:00 PM): Spent hours wandering. Found a bookstore! Found a coffee shop.
- Stream of Consciousness: I really wanted to buy a mug at the bookstore that said "I need coffee".
- Lunch at "Wooden Heads" (1:30 PM): Got a pizza there that everyone raves about, apparently. It definitely lived up to the hype.
- Anecdote: Stumbled upon a local pottery place and almost bought a ridiculously expensive, yet beautiful, vase. Restrained myself. For now.
- Kingston Penitentiary (3:00 PM): This was my moment to meet Dave, the local. He took me to visit The Kingston Penitentiary. Pretty creepy, but in a morbidly fascinating way.
- Quirky Observation: The cell doors… so many cell doors.
- Dinner with Dave (7:00 PM): Dave picked me up and took me to the most amazing Indian restaurant. I think I drank too much wine. The conversation was hilarious though.
- Messy Structure: Walked back to the hotel happy and drunk. Fell into the bed, exhausted.
Day 3: The Road Home (And the Aftermath)
- Sleep In / Hotel Departure (10:00 AM): Woke up a little hungover, but relatively well-rested. Packed up my bags, ready for the trek home.
- Emotional Reaction: Already feeling a tiny bit sad about leaving Kingston. This city has a charm to it.
- Drive Back to Toronto (11:00 AM): The drive was long, but mostly uneventful. I am so tired of driving.
- Opinionated Language: Traffic on the outskirts of Toronto is an absolute nightmare.
- Flight Home (1:00 PM): Another flight, another delay. Why.
- Landing and Home (5:00 PM): Home. Finally. Unpacked my bags. Did laundry. Ordered takeout. Started planning my next adventure.
- Stronger emotional reaction: I just want to sleep for a week, yet I already miss the trip.
Kingston Getaway: Unbeatable Comfort Suites Deals! (Or, You Know, Maybe They Are...)
Okay, fine, let's talk about this Comfort Suites thing. I went. I survived. Here's what you *really* need to know. (And yes, there were moments... *shudders*)
1. So, Unbeatable Deals? REALLY? What's the Hype?
"Unbeatable" is a STRONG word. Look, the website promises a good price, right? And, I *will* admit, the price *was* attractive. Like, "hmmm, maybe I *need* a weekend away from the wife/kids/dog/all of the above" kind of attractive. Especially when you're staring at the budget and thinking, "Pizza again? Seriously?" But here's the deal: Read the fine print. Seriously. Check what's included, what isn't. Sometimes "unbeatable" just means "cheaper than a five-star hotel, but you'll question your life choices at 2 AM because the guy in the next room is snoring like a freight train." (More on that later… oh yes, there’s a train involved.)
2. What's the Actual Room Like? Is it... Clean?
Okay, *deep breath*. The rooms...they're rooms. Let's put it that way. My room? Let's just say it *reeked* of industrial cleaner, which, on the one hand, is a *good* thing, right? Like, it probably killed all the germs. On the other hand, it could also kill small animals, and for a while, I was worried *I* might be next. It was... adequate. The bed was… a bed. Not the Ritz, but it *was* a surface on which I could achieve horizontal rest. The TV worked, the Wi-Fi... well, the Wi-Fi was a bit patchy, like my patience after the aforementioned freight train symphony. Take your own cleaning wipes. You'll thank me later. Just... trust me.
3. And the Free Breakfast? Is It Worth Getting Out of Bed For?
Ah, the breakfast. The *promise* of breakfast. I'm not gonna lie, I am a HUGE breakfast person. Like, can't function without my morning bacon and eggs. So, I was *excited* for this. Walked in... and... it was... well. Let’s try to be gentle here. There were...options. Cold cereal that looked suspiciously like it had been sitting out since the Mesozoic era (seriously, how LONG had that stuff been there?), bagels that could chip a tooth, and pre-packaged muffins that tasted like air. The "hot" options? Think rubbery scrambled eggs and… questionable sausage. Look, maybe I'm just a food snob. But let's just say I ended up hitting the nearby Tim Hortons. You've been warned. Bring snacks. Lots of snacks.
4. What About the Amenities? Pool? Gym? Are They...Usable?
Okay, this is where things get a little... mixed. The pool. It existed. I saw it. Didn't go in. It looked... green-ish. The gym? Ha! Okay, so it *had* a treadmill, a bike, and some weights that appeared to be older than my grandma. The treadmill? Pretty sure it was held together with duct tape and hope. The bike? Rusty. The weights? Probably used by the aforementioned freight train snoozer to bulk up his snoring muscles. So, yeah. Manage your expectations. Basically, don't expect a luxury resort. Expect… a place to sleep, hopefully, with the lights on. (I swear, the hallway looked like a horror movie set at night.)
5. Let's talk about the *people*... who's staying there??
Oh, honey, this is where it gets *interesting*. You get a real cross-section of humanity. Families on road trips with screaming kids, couples on... well, *a* trip (maybe not a romantic one, mind you), business travelers who look like they haven't slept in a week, and, of course, the aforementioned Freight Train. I'm not judging! We all need a place to stay. But, let's just say, privacy is a luxury you might have to sacrifice. Pro tip: invest in a good pair of earplugs. And maybe a noise maker. Seriously.
6. So, Should I Book This "Unbeatable" Deal? Give it to Me Straight.
Okay, here's the brutal truth. If you are on a super tight budget and absolutely cannot spend any more money, and just need a place to crash for a night or two... maybe. *Maybe*. If you're expecting luxury, pampering, or a relaxing getaway? Run. Run far, far away. Prepare for the breakfast of questionable provenance, questionable hygiene, and potential sleep deprivation. However, if you can embrace the chaos, the imperfections, the slightly-too-loud-snoring neighbor, and the feeling that you're temporarily living in a slightly shabby version of reality, well, maybe it’s an "experience." Just pack your own pillow, earplugs, and a sense of humor. And maybe a hazmat suit. (Kidding… mostly.)
7. One Final Thing… The Train. You Mentioned a Train. What's the Deal With the Train?
Oh, the train. Right. Okay, so the *actual* Comfort Suites I stayed in? It was located... near a train track. And I mean, *near*. Like, you could probably see the engineer wave. The first night, around 2 AM, the train… arrived. And HORNED. At length. And then again. And again. The Freight Train Snoozer didn't even flinch. I, on the other hand, was convinced the apocalypse had arrived. So, yeah. The train. Factor in the train. It's part of the Unbeatable Deal package. There's no escaping the train. Prepare to become intimately acquainted with the sound of a very loud, very long, very persistent, train horn. You're welcome.
