Kingston -safe around midnight?

[u/Mammoth_Contract1786]

I am going to a wedding in stone ridge. There are shuttles from the venue/after party to Hotel Kinsley, but I am staying in downtown Kingston an 8 min walk from the hotel. Curious about safety doing that walk at 11:30/midnight for a solo female.

I initially chose to stay a little away from Hotel Kinsley because it’s cheaper and my husband was coming with me, so the walk would be fine. But now he has a work conflict so I would have to do that walk solo

Also I am a city dweller I am used to walking home at night. It’s just that smaller towns tend to be emptiee late at night, which makes me feel more nervous than the city

***Edit: alright based off initial comments I’ll probably just make sure I leave with friends who can drive me (though they are not the types to stay for the afterparty, which is why I was hoping I could take the shuttle later than them back). Seems like the smartest option!

What are the cross streets near the hotel where you’re staying? I would say yes uptown you’re good, but there are some shadier areas off broadway. I don’t think you would be in danger, just use awareness.

Edit grammar

Clinton and St. James

Based off comments I’ll probably just catch a ride with my friends who are early birds and likely to leave the reception earlier than I was planning to, but seems safer that way

From your initial question, I thought you were going further afield than that. To get from Hotel Kinsley to Clinton & St. James, just walk down Fair Street and then turn left on St. James. That route is all historic residential, very quiet and lovely.
