Fodor's Expert Review Kingston Hotel

Convenient to shopping and nightlife, the budget-friendly, family-run Kingston occupies a four-story elevator building dating back to 1910—this is the type of lodging you'd expect to find in Europe. Rooms are small but immaculate, and rather old-fashioned, decor-wise. Some rooms have private bathrooms; others have a sink in the room and share a bath down the hall. North-facing rooms overlook the Kingston Taphouse and Grille next door—it's not an issue in winter, but in summer, the bar talk below might disturb early-to-bed types. A sauna and coin-operated laundry are useful to know about.
