Stopped here on my way through Kingston. It is conveniently located just off the 401 at the highway 15 exit. Nice room with kitchenette and comfortable king bed for $69. Would definitely recommend for a quick stay or if you're in the area for work for a little while. Just download the road from the military base in Kingston.

We arrived Kingston to discover that all hotels in Kingston were fully booked, as we headed onto motorway to find a place to stay we spotted the Motel. The gentleman who owned it was very friendly and accommodated us immediately. Rooms are big, spacious, spotlessly clean and have everything you would need. We were even given advice and help on...

My booking into a single room with a king sized bed was easily performed while using the Internet. There were no full-time workers in the closed front office so the manager needed to be alerted. He arrived fairly shortly and the sign-in was quick and effortless. I purchased two soft drinks and proceeded to the room. The rear windows opened... More

Clean bathroom and comfortable bed. Carpet and furnishings are showing their age and need to be replaced. The kitchenette is ancient. Air-conditioning was loud and totally ineffective. Would not recommend.

We got to Kingston Motel East an hour before the check in and Bob, the manager, had no problem with us going to our room right away. Staff there was extremely friendly and we were surprised with the great furniture in our room and how comfortable our bed was! Everything was extremely clean and organized. The cable service works perfectly... More

We were pleasantly surprised with a modern room with the furniture and appliances in good condition. Nothing was old, shabby or smelly, which would be typical of an average motel. The bedding and towels were impeccably clean. We stayed overnight and felt rested and re-energized in the morning. The location is also great - 2 min off the 401.
