4 nights at The Kinson
Room was clean and good size. Bed was very comfotable. The check-in was fast. There is no room service, but there are 3 very good restaurants nearby. One Italian restaurant was at the ground floor of the hotel and do take out. The 2nd one is SouthBAR at the corner of the street and 3rd restaurant is at Queen lane. There are also Subway and Mcdonalds 2 minutes walk.

Rooms need a bit of a renovation, no room service in the entire stay (4 nights) my sheets or towels weren’t changed once. Very expensive for what is it…
