Lots of visible security. One of the cleanest but least expensive places I stayed during my 10 day journey. Highly recommend.

Overall our stay was ok and I would stay there again if needed however there are things that could definitely be improved upon. We rented 8 rooms and most of the employees we dealt with were excellent and a few that were quite unhelpful. For the most part it seemed clean aside from us being switched to a new room because our toilet was broken and the new room sheets were not on the bed properly and one of the comforters did not have a duvet cover at all which makes you question if the sheets were changed or in the process and not finished. The pool and gym were under construction (which we found out upon arrival). Since the pool could not be used and there is no outdoor seating anywhere we went to the soccer field to let the kids play and stay out of the way of the front entrance but were told we could not be in the area and it was locked up. This is definitely lacking in what other amenities your typical hotel has to offer for large groups or extended stays and more of a one night stay if you are touring the campus. Also, our keys constantly stopped working for the front door and the elevator was broken the day we were checking out so carrying lots of luggage down flights of stairs was quite an inconvenience. The free laundry on site was a benefit and location is great right in the center of everything.

Wonderful stay at St. FX! Family of 4 (2 adults and 2 kids, 9 and 13). Our room had 2 double beds and our own bathroom. Very clean. Free laundry. Within walking distance to Tim Hortons, McDonalds and a couple other restaurants. The building we stayed in was next to the highway but it was super quiet. Campus was nice to get out for a walk. Beds weren't very comfortable for our liking, but good if you like a firm mattress.
