It was a quiet stay, nothing fancy - you get exactly what you're expecting from a stripped down dorm. Location was handy and the price was right. Showers left a bit to be desired but it was overall ok. I'd stay again.

Price is great. Super safe accommodations. A little warm at night and hot water takes a long time to get to shower and even when it finally arrives, it’s like warm. Beautiful university campus and it’s very close to some great food and coffee choices, along with recreation.

Good value

Comfy and quiet, this is a great idea for the value. If you don’t mind sharing the bathroom then you’re ok with this type of accommodation. Friendly reception.

This is a true campus experience. That being said the rooms and bathrooms are clean. You are a two minute walk to the Main Street. You are a 10 minute drive to shopping.

It’s a university dorm with few amenities. Read reviews! We took a fan and a Kerig coffee maker- thank goodness because it was a hot night. Nice little kitchen area with microwave and full fridge with freezer. Exactly what we expected. Check in area not well marked but staff were very friendly. We are both alumni so it was fun to come back!

Budget basic.

This is a dorm room. No frills, tv, or AC (very hot inside, fan can be borrowed with deposit). Bathroom is not ensuite (shared). Pool is offsite. It is a budget accommodation, but considering how basic, still feels overpriced. Staff initially did not want to honour my hotels.com pricing. The best part about my stay was visiting the KC Irving building and gardens adjacent to the building.

Better signage would be very helpful. Check in staff while friendly, could be a bit better at explaining where things are, providing wifi info. Overall, good place to spend a night
