Overall I can't complain about the room for the price. The hotel looks a little shabby on the outside. Renovations are taking place, but the rooms are clean and comfortable. It appears that some finishing touches are still to be done. If you like a nice soft bed to sink into, you will love it here. New bathroom fixtures are... More

Said to be the closest motel to downtown and the seafront, the Hojo met all our expectations and we didn't pay the prices for a sea view. True, the style outside is pretty 60ish and the street in front doesn't look too good ( it is safe though ) but the rooms were fine, 2 large beds with adequate amenities,... More

I had read mixed reviews of this place, and was somewhat worried when I booked 5 nights here. I wanted a convenient and inexpensive place to stay while I helped with my parents move to Kingston. As I drove in, I wondered what I was getting into. The hotel looks like a throwback to the 60's (or is it the... More

Previously when in Kingston I've stayed at the Econolodge, and would have gone back there if I hadn't found a great rate here at the HoJo. The two are close to one another (and there's a Super 8 between them, which I don't know), so I can compare them in this review. Both are clean and quiet, both had indifferent... More

Excuse the facetious review title but it has to be stated that, for its reputation - and considering the price - the HoJo at Kingston was actually pretty good! PROS: price, cleanliness, friendliness of the reception staff (major pro), relatively modern furnishings and decor (renovations) CONS: location (though really not that bad, just a 20 minute walk to the downtown...

I stayed there two nights wile visitng my daughter at University. She is in her second year so I have stayed at several different hotels and this one is by far the best value I have seen. The room was clean and fairly new. It was quiet and there was a breakfast included. The older heater in the room was... More

My husband and I stayed at the Howard Johnson Oct. 14 & 15/11. I had been at a conference at the Ambassador for the day and my husband met me afterward. When I first pulled up to the hotel I was a little unsure as it did look a little sketchy from the outside. My opinion sure changed as soon... More

Stay was in October, was not interested in the ratings as just needed a place to lay my head...but oh my!! I was surprised! The rooms have definately been remodeled and when you see how much work has gone into them, you must realise the WHOLE place cannot be remodeled over night!! It is a courtyard type drive in old...

We stayed here for two nights on a recent business trip to Kingston. Overall a good experience - the staff at check-in were very friendly and helpful. Yes, it is in an area of town that may come off a little bit down on its luck but we had no problem walking to and from that area of town on... More
