It's OK
The Kensington Hotel is an OK place to stay, it's just not as good as you'll expect after going through their website and listing materials. Everything kind of falls short -- and it is your job as the traveler to point it out when the shortfall is more than you're willing to accept. Tiny bathrooms on the first floor and in the guest rooms made it impossible for a wheelchair user to visit. The left elevator kept getting stuck. You won't get greeted at the door with champagne, the way the website shows, but you WILL pay for them to pump coffee out of a big thermos in the morning. You won't get the adults only hour at the pool at 10pm. You WILL get a pool that's overrun with kids at that time. And then those kids will play tag throughout the hallways of the hotel. Never really figured out what was going on with the restaurant. There's a whole long list I could get into here, but these examples are enough. This place needs to up their game.

Friendly staff
The stay was excellent. The staff were fabulous. I received a champagne toast on check in. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. Honestly the service from the front desk staff was amazing. My only complaint, and it's very minor, is that my main floor room and hall had a very strong chlorine smell, I believe coming from the pool. Otherwise it was amazing.
