Welcome Traveller Motel is a modest lodging option located on a quiet, leafy residential street in Kingston, Ontario. It offers basic rooms, some featuring in-room whirlpool tubs, which suit visitors seeking straightforward accommodations without extra frills. The property emphasizes practical amenities such as free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and complimentary parking, but does not provide on-site dining, a pool, or fitness facilities.
The motel benefits from a convenient position just 10 km from Queen’s University and approximately 7 km from Kingston Airport, which is accessible within a 10-minute drive. Guests can also explore nearby attractions like Fort Henry National Historic Site and Kingston Penitentiary, both within a short distance and highly rated by visitors. This makes the property a reasonable choice for travelers interested in the city’s historical sites.
Reviews indicate that the rooms are clean and comfortable, with some guests highlighting friendly service and good value for the price. However, soundproofing may be limited, as noted by some who mention hearing neighboring rooms. The motel’s environment is quiet and kid-friendly but not pet-friendly, aligning with a practical, no-nonsense approach to hospitality.
With a 3.8 rating from 50 reviews, Welcome Traveller Motel suits budget-conscious visitors or those needing a brief stopover near Kingston. It offers simplicity and convenience rather than luxury, catering well to travelers prioritizing location and affordability over extensive amenities.

Moitié du prix de tout les endroits à Kingston et sérieusement la chambre était parfaite pour une nuit. Salle de bain confortable petit frigo télévision. 1 des deux lit n'était pas confortable pour mais pour 140$ la nuit avec deux lits Queen, c'était excellent!
Nice inexpensive motel on the edge of the city. Very pleasant and quiet.
A nice place to stay, that's great value, has friendly staff, and is in a pretty convenient location. The rooms are adequately furnished, very cozy, and seem to be well-maintained. They're well equipped, with a TV, phone, and coffee-maker; and the wifi works a treat. The only downside -- and it's a minor one -- is that the walls seem a bit on the thin side; so you will hear people in the rooms next door to you, you will hear distant train horns throughout the day and night, and you will hear the traffic on the road outside. However, it's not a terrible problem, and definitely offset by it being a good value option in a good place.
It is what it is. You get what you pay for. Nothing really negative stands out. The staff were extremely friendly which was nice after a long work day. I would suggest though that they take a broom around the room at ceiling height to get rid of the spiders and webs. Also, larger bath towels would be great.
I've always have great service an well accomitdated
I keep coming back year after year to this wonderful motel for so many reasons. Convenient location, clean rooms, quiet and a great value. But what brings me back is the friendly owners! I cannot say enough good things about them. Amazing family, caring, and accommodating! I highly recommend this great motel to anyone who is looking for a comfortable, peaceful stay at an excellent rate!!!
The room is clean and looks like we will get a good night's sleep. Thank you for being open in April.
Ich mag old fashioned Motels, dieses gehört dazu. Es ist sauber und bietet sogar Kühlschrank, Mikrowelle und Kaffemaschine. Preislich ist es auch o.k.

Curated spots travelers usually pair with a stay in Ontario. Distances are rough real-world times, not straight-line.
