We were very disappointed with our stay here . TV didn’t work at all . Wifi was terrible so couldn’t even use phones to chill out at night and watch a movie or scroll the internet . Just buffered all the time . Just had to sit there . Things like this should be checked and in working order before guests arrive . Something basic like a TV should be a no brainer. $25 a night for parking is quite a lot when you are already paying nearly $200 a night to stay . Breakfast used to be so nice here but very budget and poor quality now . This place used to be great and was known for its great buffet breakfast but very under whelming . The cleaners and waiting staff very nice and friendly but won’t be staying here again . Very disappointed with our stay here

The room was average, really needs an upgrade and could do with a thorough clean, the thick coat of dust behind the beds was disgusting. Also this is the third time we have stayed at the Kingsgate and I was very disappointed that they now charge $25 per day for car parking! The front reception staff on the evening weren’t very helpful.

The positives: Clean room with a great balcony and view. Friendly breakfast staff and good buffet. (fresh fruit would be nice though). Excellent location. The negatives: Super thin walls. We had neighbors that kept us until 2am with their loud voices accompanied by a group of 5 drunken, rowdy people who were in the adjacent front parking lot partying until 3 am. We called the front desk at 1am as well as again at 3am. Kim (front desk) said there was nothing she could do as it was a public area. Police should have been called. Or they should hire security. Front desk staff were professional, but certainly not friendly.

The bed was the most comfortable I have ever slept in outside of my own with a good choice of pillow size. The bathroom was clean but needs the bath removed and replaced by a new shower and the drainage was a little slow to drain. It was a great place to stay convenient and comfortable

Breakfast was the same every morning x5. Fruit varied but heated food always baked beans, yuk, scrambled eggs, hash browns and bacon/sausages. No ability to put together maybe an egg benny meal, or maybe salmon for a bagel meal.
