University dorm room so very convenient to crash for the night. Do not expect the same amenities as a regular hotel but the price makes up for it. Quiet during the summer as the residence is mainly empty. Good room on a budget

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Overall, great place to stay. Rooms have counter with faucet, washroom with shower, and air conditioning. Minor issues: room has only one light, so it's best to bring your own lamp, and each bed has only one thin blanket, so bring extra blankets. Laundry machines work great, but require a card for which you must put a minimum of 10$. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Building appeared well maintained.

You get what you pay for as this is a college dorm. Washroom was stocked with toiletries. Bed wasnt as comfortable to my liking but understood that when making the booking. Close to the waterfront trails which is nice. Defonitely, a great way to help reduce costs.

Staff was friendly and helpful. Keep in mind that this is residence for college students, so these are dorm rooms. They are plain but functional. No TV. Not even a clock! No coffee maker. No hair dryer, No iron. Can't beat the price for this no frills place to flop.

It was very clean and comfortable. There was noise from fridge and air conditioner. Basic amenities as expected.However at 2 am we heard a man yelling angrily and loudly for a long time. I called the 24 hr front desk but no answer. I was close to calling 911, I did not feel safe. After about 15 minutes he quieted down. In morning the staff person said they must have briefly stepped away from the phone when I called.

Overpriced for a dorm room

For the significant increase in price over last year ( double) it is hard to rationalize staying here again. It is clean and there is free parking and the student staff are nice. But these are very tired dorm rooms with terrible lighting, damaged paint and carpets, and towels that are so small and so thin they may be old stock from one of the local prisons. At your current price you are now competing with local motels. You need to step up your quality or revisit your pricing.
