Liked: Cleanliness

No tv, no phone, poor parking and the bed was as hard as a brick. No amenities in the building or within blocks of location. Considering the cost was on par with other good hotels I would recommend skipping this place by all means.

The property was 5 minutes away from the athletic park and it had plenty of parking space for $14 a day. This was definitely a hostel. No tv. Face towels as the larger towels, bath does not drain, black mold on the roof above the bed and well used mattress. Room service is replace towels and coffee pods.

We found the 2 bedroom dorm room to be as we expected. It was very bare and simple but the beds were comfortable, it was quiet and the price was reasonable for what we got. No TV in suite so bring your devices. The cupboards are bare in the kitchenette so bring what you need to have breakfast in your room. There is no place to get coffee without getting in the car and taking a drive so keep that in mind! Next time we’ll bring something along. The parkade is a bit of a walk away and costs $11 per night for parking. Overall it was basic but what we needed.

Très bel accueil. Beaucoup d’aide pour répondre à nos questions au sujet de l’offre de restauration, l’es transport en commun etc. Hébergement très simple mais très agréable situé sur le campus universitaire. Idéal pour des évènements sportifs au Winsport.
