We stay here every couple of years because of the location. It is in the heart of Kensington and walkable to so many sights along the river.

The staff were all very pleasant and genuinely helpful. Very quiet. Food was outstanding from breakfast, though Happy Hour, to dinner. In short, the best way to describe a stay at the Kensington is that it is "quite civilized".
No quibbles.
