Holiday Inn Express & Suites Kingston Central by IHG
They charge $6.00 for parking now and do not tell you! Seems like a money grab not to offer free parking at your hotel.

Courtyard by Marriott Kingston Highway 401/Division Street
Rooms were great, staff were friendly. We were a little disappointed that the pool slide closed on Sundays and the hot tub was not available while we were there. Overall, great stay though.
