Great place to stay for a couple of nights. Short Uber ride to Slush Puppie Place and way better rates than the downtown hotels. Very clean and maintained property.

Good value for money
Professional and friendly reception staff. The place feels like it was built in the 1950's but it is roomy, with nice TV, very good WiFi, spacious room. Doors and locks from 1950's, but you get good value for money.

Lord Nelson is conveniently located and a goods rest stop.
grounds at the back suitable for dogs, it is next door to and A&W and well stocked convenience store. We spent 2 nights there to repack our RV before returning to Toronto - it was perfect.

It may look like a dive on the outside but they have made the rooms very comfortable and stylish. Would stay again for sure. Loved the ease of having my dog there and going in and out of a private entrance without having to navigate hallways like other hotels

Clean, comfortable, easy to park, conveniently located.
Unfortunately, the price was way too high for this kind of facility - unfortunately it was homecoming weekend at Queens University and the motel really jacked up their prices - as did other places in and around Kingston.
