Be ready to walk a bit, first from the parking to the reception, then from reception to the room. Although shopping was nearby, the walk was back to reception, then around the building to the shopping centre. If you see something missing, ask. The staff are very polite but don't offer. Oddly, they have equipment like irons but they don't keep track of the room where the iron is so there is a good chance they won't be able to find one for you.

The room was spartan, but clean and comfortable. The building is a short walk to a strip mall with many restaurants and shopping outlets.

We love staying here as a stopover when we go from Toronto to Quebec. It’s simple and spacious and the rooms come with a kitchenette and full sized fridge! When we're traveling as a family, we appreciate having 2 separate bedrooms in one "suite". Just a note: the blankets were encased in 2 sheets so it didn’t look like there was a blanket on the bed (I wish someone in reception had explained that to me when I asked for blankets). Also, the walk to your room can be pretty far (which I didn't mind, but was more difficult for my 82-year-old, mom). Overall, this is a quiet, clean, simple and affordable accommodation.

The discrciption stated E.V charger available, the were but at the farthess point of the parking lot, a good 7 minute walk back to the entrance at a rapid pace. And walking from the front desk to the room was through a lovely courtyard but with suitcases and an other 3 minutes walk. If you want to get your steps in, i guess it's not bad. The pictures on the make the place look better then it is in real life. The beds were hard. It's probably good enough for a young student as it is a University residence. If you want the cheapest possible room and you dont care about confort and convenience, this is it.

You offered a kitchen, but did not mention that there were no plates, cups, cutlery or kettle. The bed was terrible - it sagged. The walls were full of holes that looked like cockroaches at night. There was no mention on the website that parking would cost extra. The receptionist was friendly and helpful.

Not as cheap as used to be. great staff. need hiking boots or roller skates to get from parking to front desk to rooms. Need more luggage carts for the trip. Please, have a door activated direct to the parking lot 10: works all year for students so obviously safe.

The property is surrounded by large selection of fast food like McDonald’s, Popeyes, Subway, etc. The surrounding is quiet and the soundproof is good. The only downside about the property is that the air from the air conditioning would be directly blow to you and it’s really chill in summer. If you don’t like it then might not consider the place.

Sadly, the overall experience was unpleasant. I stayed two weeks and discovered that there’s infrequent cleaning service, not-so-infrequent fire alarms, no recycling service, and no supplies in the kitchens, not even for coffee or tea. The rooms are far away from the entrance and there’s only one way in and out of the residence. The communal kitchens I frequented were dingy and half the ovens were either missing racks or not working. The fridge in our unit broke down during our stay and I had to stay in the room to sort it out and wait around for a replacement in order to prevent my food from spoiling. Not something I should be expected to do for them while I’m on vacation. Also, the parking is ridiculously stressful and hostile to guests because it isn’t managed by the residence. You have to pay for parking separately every day so if you forget or delay then you risk getting a parking ticket. For long term stays you can get a parking pass but you have to go in person to the parking office which has limited hours and is closed on weekends. By the time you get to the office and pay for a pass you might have already been ticketed. If you do unfairly get a ticket you can either pay it or go through a time consuming and overly complicated ticket dispute process which may or may not result in its cancellation.

Friendly staff, always willing to help. Loved the safe garden area and cool plces to sit. Very good price for basic, clean room and amenities. Great to have bus service at the front door for those who do have a car. Shopping area and restaurant close by was very useful. Room decor could have been better but I just tried to ignore it for the other benefits. Thank you for good service.
