What guests think

At Residence Inn by Marriott Kingston Water's Edge, guests consistently praise the waterfront, walkable location and the friendly, accommodating staff, while appreciating spacious suites with kitchens and an included breakfast that many find generous and convenient for families.

Common trade-offs include high on-site parking fees and occasional elevator outages. Some reviews note dated elements, noisy or uncomfortable sofa beds and toilets, and mixed experiences with the pool or hot tub. Breakfast is widely liked but a number of guests reported uneven quality, crowding, or limited variety across days. Expect roomy, practical accommodations in a prime waterfront spot with largely warm service.

Only thing that was unreasonable was the parking rate 39.00 a day, less if you stay longer but 39.00 for one night. We parked ourselves outside in the parking lot!!! Come on!!!

Not the worst stay but not the best. Easy check in and checkout. Parking was an additional fee, which if you were lucky to find a spot you could park underneath the hotel. Very limited covered parking spots. Pullout bed in the couch was very thin and uncomfortable. Shower pressure was great, but barely warm. Toilet flush is VERY loud. Master bedroom was very big. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Continental breakfast wasn’t too bad with many options and staff restocking/cleaning up at all times. Hottub wasn’t hot, more like lukewarm and jets were not powerful. Women’s sauna was great. Felt safe inside the hotel and outside. Overall, would stay again.

We enjoyed our stay in this well appointed and clean hotel. The location is convenient to downtown and easily walkable to shops and restaurants. The room was spacious and had a nice view of the waterfront. The breakfast is very good as well! I liked that they had car charging in the parking garage, the parking was expensive, but that seems to be the case in all Kingston hotels.

Staff were lovely at check in and out. Kitchen staff for the breakfast were friendly and super efficient. The food was good and there were decent options- waffle station, vegan and pork sausages, hashed potatoes, scrambled eggs, omelette, yoghurt, banana, oranges, cereal options, banana bread, chocolate loaf and a hot drink station. The room was very clean. The bathroom location was unfortunately situated near the head of the bed and the toilet sounds like a rocket taking off. Had I not already gone to the bathroom- I may have gone again just hearing that startling sound. And hear that sound we did! From rooms around is when they flushed through the night and in the morning. The shower - water pressure was good, but even when cranked as high as it would go- was tepid. Good way to conserve water- couldn't get finished fast enough! It's a shame that to get access to wifi, they ask you to sign up for their Marriott Bonvoy site. Should just be free. Room rate does not include parking- under or above ground it's $39.

Terrible breakfast.How can potatoes be cement inside and outside, all sausage selections were over salted, other than scrambled eggs ( every morning) the other options were unpalatable. Does oatmeal have to “swim” in liquid? The oranges were dry and moldy. The room was not dusted properly. The front staff were very good.

Le Check-in a été le plus professionnel et sympathique à vie! Le personnel au buffet déjeuner très serviable et poli! Cependant…. Le matelas du canapé-lit était dans un état horrible (chambre 909) Un affaissement extrême au centre, des ressorts perceptible au simple effleurement du matelas et une tache répugnante… Il a été impossible pour ma grande fille de 19 ans de dormir dessus (ni pour moi d’ailleurs) j’ai donc dû la faire dormir avec son père et moi je me suis installée sur le canapé-lit 😳 Assez décevant pour une fin de semaine de la Saint-Valentin!

Luckily, we easily found in-street parking (free all weekend!) AND The sofa bed was very lumpy.

The location is perfect, right in downtown but far from the noise and near the water. The hotel is friendly and room was very spacious for our family of 4 plus one pet. Desk staff is super friendly. The one thing that we wished it was better was the pool and hot tub. They were too small and not that clean. We didn’t stay for long in there. The best and highlight of our stay was the breakfast. It saved us a lot of money. The waffle station is such a hot with the guests. I was really impressed with the paper bag provided for us to take a couple of fruits and a banana bread for our outdoor activities in the area. I will be staying at a Marriott again!
