Best hotel in AA
I stay at the Kensington every other week. It’s the best hotel I have ever had the pleasure of staying at. All of the employees are courteous and helpful. The pool and hot tub make you feel like you are at a resort! I’ve tried most of the hotels in the area and won’t be staying anywhere other than the Kensington again.
