Staff at front desk was not. Professional. Treated us like we were begging them breakfast. When we already paid for for 2 days . Gave me a receipt for one night.but charge for two. We were so turned off we refuse to spend the second night there. However the place is nice but again staff just made it ugly.

Upon arriving, we checked into, and check in was pleasant. However, when we went to the room, we were greeted with cobwebs, dirty floors, counters, bathroom toilet that did not work, and no hot water. We asked for another room, but was told that "there was no guaurantee that those rooms were cleaned." I forgot to mention earlier, that we also had visitor, a centipede that measured about 7 -8 inches, that thing was quick on its feet. I have never seen one that big except on documentaries. In the rooms, because we had a room change the following day, you have two guests, yet you only have one dusty cup and saucer for coffee, coffee, no sugar, no creamer. Our interactions with the kitchen staff during breakfast was superb. However, we ate out for dinner has the dinner menu was very very limited. The second room did have hot water and much nicer than the first but still needed work. I am not a complainer nor do I allow things to bother me, but this one I had to speak up about. I think the management needs to check the rooms after they are cleaned by staff to ensure cleanliness and readiness for guests. I must admit, they are building a newer section on the property. Hopefully things will improve.

Dirty and unsafe
The room was dirty upon arrival. The door only locks with the knob. No deadbolt or safety lock. Advertises an airport shuttle but none was available. Had to take an expensive taxi for the same price if I would have stayed somewhere nicer in Kingston

3 days/2Night. Fabulous location. Joel is shabby- no amenities in room .. like bottled water( 90° temperature.. had to walk to poolside bar and pay $2 for every bottle water .. even charged for water when eating in restaurant. Some great staff / others not so good.. most front desk staff were not very helpful- shame really as the property location (albeit quite from central Kingston (we found that good). This could be a fabulous hotel . We understand it has recently been purchased and plans are to improve . Ryan was exceptional!

This hotel offers the best view of the wide-open harbor, overlooking downtown Kingston. (There was a renovation taking place at the property when we stayed. The noise was quite intense. The hotel should not rent out the affected rooms during the renovation.)

Not sure if i can stay there againg
Helpful staff, the hotel It was under repair all day so there was a lot of noise the wors interneti ever experienced in my life terrible, bathroom smelled funny , the food at lunch time OMG I ordered a curry chicken no flavor. The hot water changes its temperature very quickly you don't even have a proper bath when the water is already cold. For the price of the hotel and not finding even 1 free bottle of water is questionable the pool looked a little cloudy water so when I saw it I went back to my room. When I went to the restaurant I sat down and it took a considerable time before the waitress noticed that I was there waiting to be served it was the same with a couple that arrived after me, the bartender was very friendly

The Grand Hotel Excelsior is teeming with history and it is no surprise that not much has changed with the building. Everything is well maintained however. Making customers comfortable seems to the priority of staff.

The property was clean, but outdated rooms. The kingside bed only had two tiny pillows. Toiletries were mismatched. So recommend making sure you bring your own. There wasn’t even handsoap or soap, only shampoo, no conditioner. Overall the stay was ok for what it was, and we would stay there again, given the price of places in Kingston itself. The property has high potential but could definitely use an overhaul, especially to the rooms. But overall clean and the staff were friendly and nice for the most part
