Review from Ryan T.
Rather surprised there are no reviews ahead of me for The Kingston. I discovered The Kingston via browsing through hotel listings on the http://Priceline.com site, and through much comparison with other sites (Kayak, hotwire, http://hotels.com, tripadvisor among others), found this would be the best deal for me. It did indeed turn out that way. It's a cute, clean, basic stay (billed as a boutique hotel)--mostly smaller rooms with shared bathrooms, which spells out the price savings, with a few larger rooms with private bathrooms. I did have a small single room; most of the time, the bathroom was available, especially for my late night showers. Otherwise, the next floor bathroom was not too far away. And the shared bathrooms on both floors I used appeared to be cleaned very regularly.
Although I never took advantage of the continental breakfast provided, the breakfast room/lobby area appeared rather welcoming, and I noticed the service in that area to be quite attentive. Service at the lobby/check-in area was very attentive and friendly, and any questions I had were answered in short order.
Good strong wifi that was always available when I needed it--huge plus for me!
The hotel is right next to the Kingston Taphouse & Grill, which I'm guessing is owned by the same management. I could hear some of the classic/80s/90s rock tunes from the taphouse through my window, but the music quit before 10:30 every night of my visit.
Great location in Yaletown for this establishment, only a few minutes' walk from the Vancouver City Centre SkyTrain and such attractions as the Vancouver Public Library, The Vancouver Art Gallery, and the Granville entertainment district. I would seriously consider coming back to The Kingston should I find myself visiting Vancouver again, hopefully sooner than later.
