Nice property for a short stay in Kingston, friendly, helpful staff. Ricardo at the front desk was especially helpful and a pleasant gentleman.Ms Maeve's food was fresh and nice. It would have been nice to have 2 complimentary bottles of water which is normal when staying in a hotel or guest house these had to be purchased and there was some banging in the early hours of mornings that woke me up, but apart from that, a lovely, clean convenient place to stay.

The lady at the front desk was very rude and unpolite, what a shame, an absolutely bad experience with her, she seemed angry; anyways the hotel is just ok, it fits to rest and sleep and thats it, although it is well located. Period.

While searching on Expedia, the Shirley Hotel caught my attention, offering a convenient solution to extend our stay by one day, as Spanish Court was fully booked. We booked impulsively, relying on online reviews and photographs. The hotel's location is conveniently situated off the main road, with easy access. Upon arrival, we found ample parking and received a warm welcome from the front desk staff, who assisted with luggage transport and efficient check-in. The hotel's cleanliness was consistently evident, from the lobby to our Hibiscus room. Although construction was underway next door at check-in, it had ceased by 6:00 p.m., ensuring a quiet evening. For a simple yet clean and efficient hotel, I highly recommend the Shirley Hotel. If I had to mention Cons but by all means not deal breakers: there's no elevators, or phones in the rooms, and the television only has news channels.

I like the location, and was very happy with my upgraded room on my arrival. The staff did a great job too. On Saturday the AC broke down, on Sunday I asked for another room but they were all booked out, water from the AC ruined some of my clothes, and was all on the floor. Monday the roofers woke me up while fixing the roof. Tuesday 8:22am they came back fixing the roof, I couldn't believed it, debris and noise while the guests sleep. I asked for the Manager they told me she was no available since Sunday, I checked out today without seeing her. There were nothing else that they rest of the staff could do. I was sad and disappointed because lack of communication and checking up on the guest was a problem. Nice guesthouse, not a hotel as described. Glad for the experience.
