What guests think

Across many reviews, Strata Hotel is praised for clean, modern rooms with comfortable beds and good value, plus free parking and a convenient drive to downtown, though it sits above a strip mall and amenities are fairly limited.

Guests frequently highlight friendly staff and easy check-in, but several report inconsistent service, strict check-in times, and slow responses when issues arise. Cleanliness is often strong, yet some rooms or linens were poorly prepared, insects or mold were seen, and common areas like the garage and elevators can feel grubby. Rooms are mostly renovated and spacious, though a few are small; recurring negatives include thin walls, traffic or hallway noise, weak shower pressure, slippery tubs, and basic TV options. Expect a modern, no-frills stay that's convenient and good value if you prioritize price and parking over full amenities.

Facilities

Free on-site parking is a strong point, with some covered spots, though the garage/lot layout and cleanliness draw complaints. There is no gym or pool, and the lobby bar/cafe operates with limited hours or offerings.

Suitable for a short stay of one or two nights. The rooms were clean and well-kept, and the lobby and bar area were pleasant. The primary drawback is the absence of a fitness center. While there is no pool or breakfast service, this is understandable given the competitive room rates compared to similar properties.

The Strata is conveniently located close to the 401 but a few minutes drive to downtown/attractions. It's located in a strip mall on a busy street (Princess) but the street noise wasn't an issue for us or disrupted sleep. It has a lovely, modern bright lobby and the check-in was quick and easy. Room size was very generous, it was very clean, beds were comfortable and looked like the facilities had been recently modernized. We can't speak about breakfast, as we didn't eat there and had to get on the road. Breakfast is not included in room price, but I can't complain as we felt the room price was very reasonable for the quality of the room, building. Staff was friendly and no trouble getting parking in the lot in front of the building.

This hotel is a bit “lipstick on a pig”. It’s nice enough, but the cleanliness in the room was lacking, the “blackout curtains” are not blackout (room darkening at best) pillows were horrible (hard and lumpy) and the underground parking area was sketchy. Pictures look like it’s a higher end hotel, but it’s not run like one.

The bed was not properly made and looked as if someone had already slept in it. We went to the front desk and showed them pictures. Without hesitation, the clerk gave us a different room. However, the bed in the second room was essentially the same, which suggests that the staff who make the beds do not know how to do it properly.

Beds creaked. Towels were low quality, stained, passed their useful life, and barely big enough to wrap around an average human body. Swarms of small flies all around entrance way and in common areas. Peculiar smell in hallways and rooms. Previous guests hairs were left in shower and on shampoo bottles. No pride is taken in the upkeep and maintenance of this property.

This property is bare bones. They didnt have one picture on a wall, they are going for the bare minimum look, which i initially thought was for a crisp, clean look, but then it felt more like a prison. Very bland. The maid service was terrible. They left used plastic cups, and didnt replace. They didnt make the beds. They left towels folded on the counter. There were hairs from previous guests in the shower. They were very bare minimum when they did come to do the work. That being said, the front desk staff was awesome. They were all friendly and accomodating. The night manager was super helpful when we realized there was no tv or cable, and we could only watch from a device. He came to the room to help, and it took him almost an hour of IT work and calling Chromecast to amke it happen, so we appreciated that otherise we wouldnt have had anything to watch. (there is nothing on the TV. make sure you have netflix or paramount or something if you want to watch anything in the room - they arent smart tvs. You cant sign in to them.)

This hotel is very comfortable, and a great price compared to competitor hotels in Kingston. I wanted something with a very comfortable bed that was recently renovated, and the Strata delivered. Even the standard rooms are large, with comfortable beds, with a fridge and microwave. Bathrooms were huge, and incuded a double sink and full-sized bathtub with good-quality shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner in large pump containers. Easy parking, friendly staff. Whenever I'm back to visit Kingston, this hotel will be my first choice!

The lobby is quite nice. It has been recently renovated however very cheaply so still feels very run down in the hallways, stairs, elevators and rooms. Staff not very knowledgeable and always abdicate responsibility to someone else. No one can ever solve a challenge as it is someone else's job. Yet after 3 days, never found that person who was able to help.

Location

Handy to Highway 401 and a short drive or bus ride to downtown/Queen's, with shops and restaurants nearby. The setting above a strip mall is unappealing to some and less walkable; traffic noise can affect street-facing rooms.

It is appalling that they charge $450 a night because it's the "Queen's University's Homecoming". It is far from the downtown, it's cheap and the area is awful. With the right price it would be good, but not at that price. Shame on this hotel to charge so much money! Will never go again.

The hotel is clean and the room is spacious. I like its brightness and light color in design. I recommend it for family trip or casual road trip. Breakfast isn’t worth the price we paid. The coffee is made from coffee maker, the same as the free one you could get in the room, but it is charged at the coffee shop’s price. The sandwich and wrap were heated from frozen items. I don’t recommend the breakfast in the hotel, however the dining area is great
