Great stay in Peterborough

We enjoyed a great stay in Peterborough. The hotel was clean, the staff very friendly/helpful and the breakfast was wonderful. The location of the hotel is great, right on the river and it is close to everything.

Recommend staying here

IT was a great stay and I would recommend staying here. Staff were pleasant and rooms were clean. I would recommend that check in staff inform guests that breakfast is only served until 10 am. We came at 10:15 and everything was cleaned up.

Incredible staff! Our stay was Victoria day weekend. Started great, then Mother Nature stepped in. No hydro for a day and a half. Peterborough was shut down...no food, no gas, with the exception of one station across from the hotel. At one point, the lineup for gas was about 2 kilometers long. With no place to go, we were fortunate to have some camping gear with us...an old radio, and flashlights, and we made the best of it. Staff member Jake was VERY accommodating, and made sure we were comfortable, offering us snacks and drinks, and a variety of board games he had brought from home. The rest of the staff were also very helpful, and addressed any concerns we had. We were lucky...having seen some of the damage caused by the storm, our situation was merely an inconvenience. Thanks again to Jake and staff!

We checked in at the same time as 6 minor Baseball Teams and were given a room right in the midst of them. I contacted the front desk and they moved us with no hesitation to a quiet room. Excellent customer service. Also in the outdoor patio the view and setup was great. Emma was our server and she did a great job. A good stay and an excellent location.

Reviewed By debbiemA758US

I was a little nervous when we booked the Kent Inn for a weekend away but the people who own it were lovely and the rooms were spotlessly clean. The beds are super comfortable. The bathroom is tiny, which is unfortunate, but it was only one night. I’d happily stay at the Kent Inn again.

Good option at a decent price

Reviewed By StanleyandMarie

We stayed here for 3 nights to enjoy a little getaway. We had an upgraded room where we enjoyed the fireplace and jacuzzi tub and it was nice the room had a microwave and fridge as well as a couch. Breakfast was simple but worked (breakfast sandwich, fruit, pastries) and coffee was complementary all the time. Staff were friendly and it was in close proximity to various eating and shopping places.

It's a dive.

Reviewed By infiniti2

Do not stay here. I thought it would be a cheap and cheerful place downtown - wrong. A dive of the worst kind. The room smelled strongly of mold. Hair and crumbs from previous guest(s) were in both the room and the bathtub. Even the water tasted funky compared to the rest of the city. Avoid this place if you have basic cleanliness and health expectations.

Weekend for a tournament

Reviewed By Mike S

I would give this one a 2.5. Check in was fast, looks like they have tried to update the hotel, carpets etc. We walked in our room and a bad smell smacked us in the face. My wife said it smelled like rotten hot dogs and it did not go away the whole weekend. Rooms are small but adequate, fridge, microwave. I think the smell theme was in the whole hotel, stairwell smelled like pee and hallways smelled like pot, hmmm. Breakfast was Ok but they should ditch the covid protocols and let people get their own breakfast. The servers did their best but if you forgot something you had to stand in line again. The location is good, plenty of restaurants near by. I was going to give a 2 but breakfast and location bumps to 2.5.
