Appartement mal équipé

J'avais une chambre dans un appartement étudiant. Tout y est presque neuf et le lit assez confortable. On y retrouve un réfrigérateur et un micro-ondes mais aucun autre équipement ou ustensile. Donc il est impossible de se faire un café ou quoi que ce soit. De plus, aucun accès aux salons, télé ou cuisines communautaires et il faut une carte prépayée pour utiliser les laveuse et sécheuse (monnaie et carte de crédit non acceptées). Tout est fait pour les étudiants mais mal pensé pour des utilisateurs de l'extérieur. Il aurait été plus simple ppur moi de prendre une chambre car aucun avantage à prendre un appartement non équipé.

Clean and no frills

Clean facilities was the high point. We stayed in the three bedroom dorm which worked well for us and two teenagers. Good wifi. Bare bones room. No tv. Not much on campus to do but coffee shop and pizza place in same building helped. Decent value.

Very clean and cozy

We rented this place for the weekend and the first thing that caught my attention was how affordable it was, especially for 2 bedrooms. I almost thought it was too good to be true but I'm glad I did and we really enjoyed our stay! It didn't take too long to get the train from our hotel and that really allowed us to get around easier! Will definitely rent again :)

Nicht regulierbare Klimaanlage sorgt für Erkältung

Die Zimmer sind geräumig und sauber. Dennoch sorgt die Klimaanlage, die zentral gesteuert (somit vom Gast nicht selbst reguliert werden kann) und auf den Kopf beim Schlafen gerichtet ist, für viel zu kalte Luft, die eine unangenehme Erkältung, innerhalb weniger Tage, hervorgerufen hat. Dies sorgte für einen Aufwnthalt mit bitterem Beigeschmack, sodass ich die Unterkunft leider nicht weiterempfehlen kann.

Awesome stay for a family! I cannot complain about the accommodations at all. They are dorm rooms, and it is not luxury but it is much more spacious than a typical hotel. You are given shampoo, conditioner, soap and a towel. You also get a kitchen space, but there is no burner, just a microwave. The location has tons of green space, a subway, Starbucks and dominos downstairs, and easy access to basically everything. The only downside is that the expedia site description listed it as having a pool, but the pool was only for adult laps, and you had to pay extra to get in. So do not plan on swimming.

The bed was hard and small. The room was Spartan as expected for a campus dorm. Considering the high demand for accommodation at the the time we stayed there, it was OK. The location is convenient. There was a charge for parking $10/day that I did not expect and the parkade was a long block from the hotel.

The check inn staff was awesome, the check out person was not. The shower in room backs up, no help from maintenance staff. Overall cleanliness is good, it’s hard to bring up luggage to room. Parking is extra and not close to the rooms. No tv in the rooms and common areas with tv are closed, along with fitness center and game room. For the money it costs I will pay up a little more and get a better experience.

Bad service & does not have promised amenities

The expedia ad promised a tv in the room and coffee/tea maker. There was none and none of the tv lounges were open. There were 4 bath towels, but no hand towels or face cloths. The expedia ad said there was a pool for amenities, when we asked at the front desk about it, we were immediately told it was closed for the night. We asked what time the pool opened in the am, clerk reluctantly looked into it, found it was still open and told us the time for am. It was easier for him to tell us it is closed, rather than look it up and give us a correct answer. The pool he referred us to was the public/city pool down the road, nothing that was on site or part of the university. During check-in, there was no mention of included breakfast. We got to our room and realized that was missed. We tried to phone the front desk from our room, no answer on 3 different tries. Hubby needed to park the car so he drove back to Hotel Alma to ask. Clerk was there (why he was not answering the phone or asking us to hold, I don't know. ) When we asked about it, then he gave us the coupons and explained how it works. I would think explaining breakfast should be part of the check-in procedure. I would think answering the phone, or placing us on hold if he was busy would be normal procedure. The room was sparse, which is what I expected but if the ad says there is tv, coffee make and a pool then I do expect those things to be there. There was a major lack of professionalism and attention to customer care.
