Hey Baddaz - is my schoolmate own and operate the place. Everytime I land in Kingston, I go there for my breakfast. And if I have a mid-day flight, I stop and collect my food, then proceed to the airport.

For cheap accomodations in the heart of Kingston, there is a guest appartment complex smack dab in New Kingston. I think Balmoral Ave (forgive me, the memory going now). It has its own automatic security gate opener that comes with the apt. Nothing fancy, just basic amenities, but it's an option to staying at one of the bigger and more expensive hotels in Kgn.

[Baddaz]

jangle find out more about it and share it with me... i met up with a friend whose sister has a place in new kingston that she rents as well... my friend says her sister's place has its own kitchen too... i hope to find out more about it...

its good to have a ready listing of these places because people are always looking for rentals... a friend of mine in kingston rents cars reasonable too...

Yuh see who the Moderator hanging with these days Do your thing......

[Baddaz]

yes, she same one... some peeple call her miss gray...

[Baddaz]

heh heh... its a matter of expectations... truth be told, for the cost of staying at alhambra, you could get a room in ochi at rooms on the beach, which would be a relatively newer place on the beach and all dat... but is kingston wi talking bout and a similar hotel to rooms would be twice the cost... alhambra & altamont court inna de same price category except altamont court is a little more modern... but alhambra isn't trying to be modern... they like de old charm... alhambra is closer to stadium, more peaceful and secluded, has better food...
