Room was ok but I feel like it should not be promoted as an alternative hotel stay. Confusing entrance, I feel not safe and it’s a bit scary around the area with some of the student roaming around.

Like: Super Friendly check-out young guy. Cheap price. Dislike: My room *02 is next to a service room which is super noisy at night. I requested to change room but they said none available. So avoid 102, 202, 302, 402 rooms.

Loud room.

There was a mechanical system above my room that would kick in and out at night and throughout the night that was loud and unpleasant, and kept waking me. Loud enough that I was able to record it and had the staff listen to it when I checked. I pity the student you will get that room. Otherwise very clean and comfortable room and very central.

Was very good for the price. The property was made to feel like it was a hotel. Its perfect if you are travelling alone or with friends. The separate beds provide extra privacy if needed. The check in staff was bit rude but the check out staff was amazing! No complaints for the property whatsoever

Pour le prix, c’était parfait pour nos besoins. Nous avions seulement besoin d’une place à coucher et nous n’avons pas resté très longtemps dans la chambre. Je ne comprends pas les mauvais commentaires. C’était propre et parfait si tu as seulement besoin d’une place a coucher. Il n’y a pas de télé n’y séchoir mais il y a un gros frigo. Pour le prix, je retourner à cet endroit qui est vraiment très bien.

Im reading reviews and wondering what ppl expect out of STUDENT dorms, not notorious for luxury...they were clean had lots of TP, soap and towels. Sure the shower was 'dorm' quality and no tv or radio but who uses hotel tvs anyway, we all have our own devices. The location was great and staff as friendly as they needed to be. I wasnt trying to make friends. Was perfect for us.

You really need to have at least one microwave in the building . It is a student residence so the kids will also be able to use it during the school year. had to walk rightr across the campus to get access to one .
