Trip Report: Hilton Kingston

Last week we spent three nights at the Hilton Kingston for the annual JAPEX conference, a travel trade show. The hotel is located in New Kingston.

Our room was in one of the two-story poolside buildings (most rooms are in the high-rise tower). The room was motel-basic: a plain bathroom with barely functioning shower and toilet and a basic bedroom with a broken TV remote, redeemed only by a nice, private balcony.

The hotel grounds are lush but unkempt. Public areas are tired and badly in need of a renovation.

We dined at the poolside buffet which was enjoyable. During our stay, we also had lunch at the poolside grill which was far too slow (especially for a business hotel) and at the breakfast cafe, which was overpriced and also badly in need of a renovation.

In short, we would recommend a look at the neighboring Courtleigh or the Jamaica Pegasus (on the other side of the Courtleigh), both in easy walking distance to the Hilton's meeting facilities.
