RUN AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. We live 3 hours from the airport and got in late, and this was our only option without spending $400 + for some sleep. Gross - Mold, dirty and not even a mattress protector on the beds. I put it as 5-star so it goes to top and someone might read it. My husband slept in the car - this should speak volumes. Dirty, counters not even wiped - black mold in the fans. I feel so bad for the students going to live here. I slept on top of the bed and barely slept.

We loved having a room each for a couple nights as we travel from Toronto to East coast. This was an easy place for the 5 of us . Free laundry was a bonus and we appreciated the facilities abailable and full kitchen. They provided some basic dishes. Towels and soap are available as well. Everything was basic , but worked well for our needs.
