Very clean and quiet. The campus is pretty. The provided kitchenware would use a refresh but otherwise no complaints. No extra amenities but if all you want is a clean quiet place to stay it's a perfectly fine choice.

The room was clean and quiet. There is no AC, just a fan - something to be aware of if you're there on a hot day. I was in Halifax for a very quick over night stay to pick someone up from the airport so this simple and inexpensive room was a good option.

You get what you paid for. The room and bathroom was clean. However parking was limited (had to park in a different lot that was difficult to find), the room got hot and the window didnt provide much ventilation, and the bed was a bit uncomfortable.

This was an affordable way to stay in Hailfax for cheap. It is a college dorm room, which I loved. Although the bathrooms are shared, they are private single bathrooms when in use. Make sure you bring your Clorox wipes. Know that the hill to the dorm is not for people who are out of shape.

The room was clean, beds were surprisingly comfy. The hotel doesn't have air conditioning but they had a fan in each room and the windows opened. We stayed in May so it wasn't hot in the room at all. Overall a great stay for the price

As a solo traveller who was in Halifax for only one night, this was a perfect no-frills place to stay. There was an event downtown and the hotels were over $500 so this was a no-brainer. There were lots of families around and there is campus security monitoring overnight. It’s up and away from the road so not many people driving past unless they are going to the school or the other residences. About a 15 minute Uber ride to downtown.
