For the price this place was perfect clean simple liked having separate sleeping areas for each bed. It wasn’t really a room for relaxing though but for a clean safe place to stay while exploring Halifax, it was perfect room didn’t come with water, but it does have a fridge you have to be prepared for communal washrooms on each floor.

Clean and comfortable. Basic but all we needed. Parking was a bit of a pain because there were no longer any spots available because all the rooms were booked. This could be risky getting in ticket if parking on the adjacent University property. Overall would recommend and stay again

The rooms were clean, the check in and check out was smooth. The washrooms even if shared were clean. They may have limited fans for got summer days, so it pays to ask ahead for them. Overall, this would be my go to pick when I visit Halifax since the price and quality are unbeatable!
