Hidden gem

I was looking for a clean, safe, centrally-located and cost-effective option in Kingston, and the Donald Gordon Centre delivered on all counts. Free parking, hot breakfast buffet included, good wifi, okay bed. The room was somewhat institutional, but with so many other things to recommend this place, it would be churlish to complain.
