I was bullied by the front staff , and made to feel alful , rude men ! And after 10 years of been loyal ??? Who changed
I believe the change of management, killed a once great hotel !! All the staff there are like my family , after staying there 10 years . But After the summer , I see new angry aggression, super sad ! I’ll never stay there again ! Angry sad men on reception 😢 Once again to see a lovly hotel , turning against the ones that supported you , no loyalty at all , due to ego on the front desk 🙉😢shame 🤮

Exceptional Unforgettable Stay
We had a truly amazing experience at The Kensington. Our room was clean, well maintained with modern decor and very comfortable. The hospitality from the staff was the highlight of our stay. We arrived late at night and Noel at the front desk was exceptional getting us settled and taking care of all aspects of our reservation including following up the next day. Everyone went out of their way to make it an unforgettable stay. Highly recommend staying at The Kensington!

Imaginative decor and great hospitality
Fantastic, friendly staff and excellent decor! We arrived in the middle of the night. Greeted by doorman who made sure we were safe and helped us with all our luggage. Rooms are amazingly decorated and extremely comfortable. Service at the bar and at Breakfast is exceptional. A true 5 star boutique hotel.

Superb
My daughter & I stayed at The Kensington for 3 nights mid August. From the second we arrived we were made feel like Royalty. The hotel itself is simply beautiful & has that “ Je ne sais quoi” special feel & ambience. Every attention to detail is not over- looked. Without a doubt the staff themselves are superb. A very special mention to Tom, the guest services manager. He is outstanding, goes above & beyond to ensure that every guest is having that “ special Kensington Hotel” experience. He is warm, courteous & welcoming , at the same time, the consummate professional, very dedicated & it is evident he loves his job. Ingrida , at breakfast was just darling. So attentive & provided excellent service. We were recommended this hotel by a friend in New Jersey, 🇺🇸 Best recommendation ever. My daughter & I cannot wait to return.
