Top Kensington Hotel Reviews

Washington Plaza Hotel

Washington Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good
"Hotel is in a great location and reasonably priced considering. However, rooms and hallways look tired and need refurbished as very dated. Rooms look old compared to nice modern reception and pool area. Parking self park at $45 plus tax per night. No free breakfast If on a budget and location priority I would say go for it but don’t expect luxury. But clean enough"
