Classy hotel with a working hot tub and big, cold
The Kensington had a high class feel for an affordable price tag. We picked them over other hotels in the area becsuse they had a working pool, hot tub, and sauna. I think they have the largest pool of any hotel in the area... and it was a big and deep pool, but it was too cold of a pool to get to enjoy it very much at all. We knew going into our stay that they also didnt provide any sort of free breakfast. And, this was true. There are bakery items, fruits, and coffee you can purchase for an additional charge.... Been a long time since Ive been to a hotel that didnt atleast serve free coffee and cold continental breakfast of some sort. We only paid $110 out of pocket for our stay, so overall we were pleased with what we got for what was spent.

If I knew a four-star hotel could be this bad, I d spend that extra 50 bucks to stay at a Marriott. Room is extremely smelly and dusty upon our arrival, we were switched to another room upon request, the bathroom is just as bad, with hair, stains around the toilet and bathtub. Air condition did not work. Each day the room service didn’t show up after 2pm, this is after I requested a deep cleaning at 11am at the front desk, in person! Instead of the cleaning staff, a manager showed up at 2pm and said to me if you are not happy with the room why didn’t you request for a different room? Duh! The breakfast was cold, restaurant closes after 11am. The pool facility is dated and strong chlorine, we didn’t want to risk a skin rash. Front desk staffs were sass and couldn’t care less when I walked up each time, except the night shift gentleman, he was friendly, helpful and courteous, he did what he could by switching us to a different room. Overall I would not recommend this hotel. Also the pillows, they are the absolute's worst kinds, zero plush, synthetic. Good luck to your stay if you are booked.

Staff was rude and unhelpful
The staff was not helpful. They promised to call when the room was ready. They never called. We came back at 7:30 and we got a subpar room by the indoor pool on the first floor. After a 7 hour wait for a room you would think the room would be worth it, it was not. The staff never even apologized. The only highlight was the restaurant, it was pricey but worth it.

The staff was absolutely amazing. They were very carrying compassionate. They were always greeting me,and always on top of everything I needed. They went above and beyond every time and under the circumstances, I wasn’t there for vacation. I was there to take my granddaughter home from the hospital because she Has cancer and she is terminal she’s only one years old. They generally cared and took time to make sure that everything I needed they got for me and again they were so understanding and compassionate wonderful place. I’ll never forget the kindness that they showed me. oh, and also the restaurant staff was actually amazing too. Thank you again. I meant the world to me to have a safe comfortable place to stay during this time
