It's a perfectly functional place to stay. Don't count on using the kitchen because they don't supply plates or cutlery. The bathrooms are a little dirty. But overall, it's a decent place to stay for lower cost than most other accomodations in the area

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.

Jing

Disliked: Amenities
The blanket smells of body odour. The shared kitchen has no kettle for boiling water, zero plates, bowl, spoon, etc. Two single use plastic cups were in the room, that all. I was given a room on 4th floor, there was no hot water the night I checked in, so I couldn't shower. The coffee and tea on offer was in a different building block, to access it I must get down from 4th floor, walking out the building where my room is, and through a large open space to another building to the reception area. Because there were no areas to sit, once you get your coffee, you must take it elsewhere to drink it. The check in was difficult too, because the buildings are looked the same and signage for check-in isn't obvious. I paid over $140 per night of stay and got an experience that was worse than accommodation I paid less than $80 for a night!

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.

Nous avons trouvé très difficilement le lieu l adresse n étant pas celle du site et l autre fournie apparaissant dans les instructions spéciales consultées tardivement de notre côté ,ceci étant le cas d autres touristes " en perdition" .En fait il faut pénétrer dans l enceinte de l'université et rejoindre un autre bâtiment .Surprise de constater que la chambre correspond à une chambre d étudiant. douche ou baignoire et wc se trouvant à l extérieur de celle-ci. Il n y avait pas de séchoir à cheveux ni de deuxième serviette et deuxième oreiller ce qui manifeste une absence de vérifications avant l arrivée.. Quid si nous étions arrivés tardivement ! En fait la précision de ces points permettrai de mettre en garde des voyageurs relativement âgés.

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.
