Hotel stay and meetings onsite

Nice hotel, clean and quiet. We had our team meetings onsite and the staff did an excellent job with the meeting room and the meals. The hotel room was quiet nice, but a little dated.

Hunter, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

wonderful gem!

wonderful stay at the Hotel Kensington! My new go-to place for a hotel in A2. The onsite restaurant is of amazing quality. Get the Lake Superior whitefish for dinner and the goat cheese frittata for breakfast! Wonderful coffee too, although you are just five five-minute drive away from ZIngerman's bakehouse as an alternative for a good cup of joe. You can't go wrong with a stay here - very comfortable and great service. Lovely lobby area for getting a little work done too.

Comfy sleep with a nice, large pool.

Desk staff was welcoming and friendly. Clean, pleasant room with very comfy bed. Small bathroom w small counter access. Welcome Champagne offered, but no lobby coffee, no continental breakfast.

Wonderful hotel. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful stay. Everyone was so welcoming and helpful. It was so nice to have a restaurant on site and a small bar to relax. It was also great to have a nice convenience area to pick up some fun gear, meds and sweet treats. Will definitely be staying here again.

Fan

The overall stay was very good. The only drawback was not having the option to control the room temperature or fan. I had to have a fan delivered for air circulation.

Great staff!

I have stayed here often and, while the purpose for my trip fell through and I had to cancel my reservation, the staff were warmly friendly and went to bat for me with the online agency I'd booked my reservation through, to get the charges refunded. Thanks!
