This boutique hotel has it all!

The linens and bed were very comfortable - the shampoo, conditioner and lotion were beautiful and the room was absolutely spotless; we loved the lighting and the fact that the blinds were very easy and convenient to operate.

The kitchen had everything you could possibly want, and was spic and SPAN!

The parking was easy - I parked at the number of room that I had...although this only occurred to me later in our stay - it might have been easier if it had been clear in the confirmation message: \"Please park in spot #7, your room number.\"

Also, the volume on the remote for the TV is on the SIDE! We tried everything and finally realised where it was - silly mistake but I'm mentioning it for others who, like me, aren't very technically-inclined!

Benita at the front desk was helpful and kind. We needed to call in order to get INTO the hotel, for some reason we didn't know there was a code to enter - we had the code for the room key once we got INside, but no code to enter the building. Benita answered quickly and got us in, no stress at all! The fact that there is no reception doesn't matter that much when the staff is as patient and attentive as she is :)

We appreciated the 10 minute walk to the city center.

We enjoyed the loft idea - it was spacious and modern. I really nice use of the area. And so tastefully decorated. An absolute delight to stay here; we will be back!

Parking was convenient and easy.
The kitchen was well equipped.
Our room had none of the items listed as available for purchase in the refrigerator.
We never received a code to enter the main door to obtain our key; fortunately another guest arrived and let us in.
The room was immaculate and it was a great location; an easy walk to restaurants and shops.

The property is beautiful. Our room was incredible, a bit industrial/modern. Full kitchen, living room, loft bedroom. There was a record player to listen to and a speaker you could pair your music with also, which was fun.
There was an issue where they didn’t provide us with the code to get into the building, which delayed our entry by two hours, in the rain. Very frustrating. Plus the very next day was the beginning of the month in which that code changes and we were not notified all day until just before 2 PM. However, these things were addressed with management, so may not be an issue next time.

Gorgeous property! We stayed at the Belvedere recently as well and this time brought friends to enjoy the Smith (three rooms total). We were all suitably impressed and will return! Special shout out to Melanie - such a gem. And the front desk agent who recognized my husband on the Smith \"Ring\" cam from our Belvedere stay (cannot recall her name but I believe she is from Brazil - she is so lovely). Kudos to all!

Unfortunately, the downside of a hotel with no front desk in the middle of winter turns out to be that you and their tech support agent have to work together to debug your room's heating system at 1:00am via text message.

And then you never solve it, are miserably uncomfortable in fancy surroundings, and they offer an apology in the same text message chain which feels as though it was written by AI.

Maybe this is the direction that all hotels are heading in, but I must say that I can't recommend this one when Kingston has so many options with good service.

Wrong Door Code in winter conditions

The door code yo get in the hotel was wrong in the check in information provided. I was stuck outside for half an hour in -25C weather. This is dangerous and someone is going to get hurt that way. Please double check this info is accurate for guests! Hotel was otherwise great!

great getaway home for two nights

we had a great stay at the smith hotel with a 2 room loft style with exposed stone walls, polished concrete floor and everything needed as if you lived there. the kitchen had everything you would need and the bed was very comfortable.

only issue was the blinds when closed in the upper room would also cut out the light in the living/kitchen area below and not a big issue, the patio was full of leaves (it is fall, we know), but not cleaned for use during the warmer day we had.

Loved all the little touches - kitchen with quality, useful equipment and tools, speaker and record player were fun. Beds were very comfortable. Very pleasant experience and the location was very handy.

Only thing we would change is increased air circulation - didn't really need it colder but needed more airflow as the air had a tendency to get kinda stale. Info on how to achieve this would be useful in the guest book.

A wonderful overnight stay... very nice linens/toiletries (had to buy myself some that were delivered prior to our departure) the only negative. No corkscrew so i had to go buy one to enjoy a bottle of wine i had brought with me. No biggy. Would not hesitate to recommend staying here... currently at the Marriot Hotel in old Montreal and all i feel is sad it isnt the Smith Hotel. Whoever designed the loft (#7) nailed it

I had a brief overnight stay at this wonderful hotel, housed in a historic building beautifully converted into modern accommodations. The place was exceptionally clean and well-maintained. I found the contactless check-in and check-out process to be very easy and convenient.
The only minor issue was the room becoming a bit warm due to lack of ventilation when the bedroom door was closed. However, the hotel’s excellent location, with shopping and restaurants just a short walk away, more than made up for this. I would definitely recommend staying here and look forward to returning.

This property was extremely nice - exactly as depicted. Also the uniqueness of a converted church was really memorable. The room was well-appointed with everything you need. I was a little concerned about the unmanned status of the property but it wasn’t an issue at all. One block from the Main Street.

My only feedback to them would be the room was really cold (drastically over air conditioned) and because we only stayed one night and all the walls are stone and the floor concrete by the time it was a reasonable temperature we were checking out.
