Residence Inn by Marriott Kingston Water's Edge
It was amazing up until our last night. Hockey children were running amok in the hallways and we tried repeatedly to phone down to the front desk to complain. All we got was a busy signal. Children’s hockey teams should be booked to their own floor with no other guests.
