The room was below average. The hotel was not crowded yet we got a room with no view whatsoever looking into a roof that almost touched.

Best hotel in AA
I stay at the Kensington every other week. It’s the best hotel I have ever had the pleasure of staying at. All of the employees are courteous and helpful. The pool and hot tub make you feel like you are at a resort! I’ve tried most of the hotels in the area and won’t be staying anywhere other than the Kensington again.

The first room we had has hair In the sink and the tub was not clean. The rooms are small. The work out room had a leaking ceiling and mold throughout the pool area was noticed. The thermostat did not work and kept resetting to the previous setting. The food at the restaurant was mediocre. We were the first ones in the restaurant when it opened and our food was dry, obviously not fresh. For the price, will not be coming back to stay or eat. Disappointed.

200 unchaperoned high students not being held accountable by hotel staff. Doors slamming and people running up and down the halls the entire night. Unacceptable; especially when you book the upgraded room to stay in the executive section.

Very cordial front desk staff. Hotel has been renovated and updated. Access is circuitous due to big construction project across the street. Cost of rooms is quite economical and that makes up for the location.
