Motel 6 Kingston, ON
Parking was great. There is limited restaurants and shops nearby but it is near the 401 which is convenient. In one room the window was not a functioning window, could not open. The shower was good but made the floor very wet as there's no surround to keep water in. It was very clean.

Kingston Marriott
Very convenient location, room is big and clean, but the a/c is a bit noisy. There is a limited selection for the free breakfast unless you pay out of pocket. Parking is quite expensive, around $35 per day.
