We enjoyed our stay at the Kingsgate Hotel for several reasons. The comfort of the living room space was an added bonus to the bed & shower. We ate one take home meal and it felt like home. Our suites sliding glass doors were wide open with crisp fresh air & no noise! The staff were super helpful & we were grateful for their assistance. The breakfast was more than we could have asked for or wanted to start our day.

An Excellent location The bed was Very comfortable The reception staff were attentive. I was disappointed room service and evening dinning in house were not an option. I was also disappointed the shower curtain was in need of replacing and the bath wash dispenser was empty I loved the balcony and large windows but would suggest a mark or line on the non door to prevent accidentally walking into it thinking it was an opened door. Apart from that, it was a good stay. Thank you
