Nous sommes venus faire une croisière avec City Line, la chambre était une cabine avec 2 lits doubles. Propre mais besoin de rafraichir le nettoyage des murs et le plafond de la salle de bain, Déjeuner complet et le personnel est courtois. Bonne qualité prix.

Love the location and size of lot. But badly outdated. Toilet not installed properly when they changed flooring. Bed hurt my back. In so much pain I canceled my return trip there (on my way back from Montreal. At one time probably was an excellent resort. Now I wouldn’t send my worst enemy there. Neeo new proper beds and proper installation of toilets every done there cheap cheap. Looks like run by slumlords

After a long day of riding and wanting to relax in the jacuzzi tub and watch some TV, the TV in fact has picture but super grainy. After asking at the front desk if this can be fixed, he gave me no confidence that it could be and was told there is nothing that can be done. I rode to the Canadian tire to grab a converter so that perhaps I could hook up my laptop. Asked the front desk for a refund for the adapter as it was purchased due to their deceitful advertising of TV in the room. Yes there was a TV, but not a working one. After being told that the TV was a complimentary service I advise why advertise a complimentary service that doesn't work. May as well not have the TV in the room. As many have mentioned this place is in serious need of an update and better service. We will see how the sleep is tonight and the breakfast option tomorrow.

The room had an overpowering chemical smell from some kind of cleaning product. My wife, who has allergies, found breathing difficult. My eyes were burning. We were told we could not get our money back so our trip ended with a quick dinner then a drive home to sleep in our own bed at a cost of $153. This is so unfortunate because we had stayed at the Colonial years ago and had a wonderful experience. But there are new owners now. Our friend was also disappointed. Terrible experience.

Conveniently located to access Kingston, the family room had plenty of space. The pools, while dated, provided lots of entertainment for the family and the sauna was a nice surprise. As we are on an extended trip and cooking our own meals, the prohibition against any cooking appliances left us scrambling for dinner on our first night.

Nice and clean. Reception was adequate but very businesslike without seemingly interested in us or what they were doing. Bathroom nicely updated but the rooms are otherwise somewhat dated.

The room was very basic. Nothing special for breakfast. The indoor pool and hot tub are very pleasant, perfect for young travelers.
