Delta Hotels by Marriott Kingston Waterfront
Thought the breakfast was included, too pricey otherwise.

Kingston Marriott
Breakfast is not included. I did get an upgrade to a room with a balcony and view of harbour, so that was nice. Location is great and if you're lucky to get water-facing the view of city hall and harbour are amazing.
