“The Kensington Hotel strikes me as a property focused on genuine hospitality, with staff who seem to truly remember and welcome guests, creating a notably comfortable stay. Its standout pool facility, larger than average for a hotel, is a significant draw, providing a welcome amenity for relaxation and even lap swimming. I also noted the thoughtful touch of a champagne welcome, which, while a nice gesture, might be more universally appreciated as coffee for some.”
