The property was conveniently located, and accessible to most amenities. However, beds were uncomfortable and the noise level made it difficult to sleep. I appreciated that parking was convenient and a workout facility was close by.

Good solo travel option

I found this a great place to stay as a solo female traveller. It felt safe, and although a little warn down everything was cleaner than I expected. Having access to the pool and gym was also nice. It had tge benefits of a hostel while being able to have your own space.

The Dalhousie house is a poor value and not set up well, a single bed (which we did not mind), a kitchen with no stove or utensils or cups in the room. A community kitchen down the hall with no cooking utensils, they have a sign that you can RENT cooking utensils. I have Stayed at Hostels across the world that were nicer and provide more value than this place. If you have to rent cooking and eating that is a joke. We checked out early and cancelled our last night just for the idea of this and found a much better and least expensive AirBnb an hour away. The check-in staff was pleasant and nice, the rooms were clean. The location is excellent. This could be a very value and more traveler friendly.

Do not attempt in a heat wave

Not having A/C in the summer heat wave and the washrooms under renovation was not a pleasant experience. We booked 2 nights but could not sleep in the heat with the poor fan provided. We decided to check out and cut our vacation short a day. This was not an easy thing to do with cancelation policies.

One morning of our stay, hot water pipe broke and then our faucet started squeaking randomly and then there were RATS on our floor ! Then we couldn’t use the elevator for a bit. The people at the front desk didn’t seem to know anything and the place didn’t come with shampoo, conditioner. The sink’s water pressure was bad and the beds were hard. But there was lots of space to lounge around in the room.

It was pretty good, there are shared bathrooms but they’re nice and clean! The door to your room does not auto lock when you close it. The room itself was pretty small and the curtains were dusty and the room smelled stale.

Great place for a great price. Very clean. My only complaint is the rooms aren't air conditioned. I'd keep my window open all day and despite the temperatures dropping to 10-12C, the room never cooled off. They included a small fan which did help when aimed right at me while I slept.
