TV Rooms on each floor should be hooked up for us

We originally booked for a 3 night stay but the Residence and Conference Centre did not have a few items I find essential. I have stayed at 3 other Residence & conference Centers in Ontario and Quebec and they offered TV in the rooms, Ice, and a microwave which I did not get at this Residence and Conference Centre. I would suggest that the TV room be hooked up on each floor with a HDMI cable to easier accommodate streaming since there are no tv's in the room. A Coffee/Tea would also be nice to see in the room, nothing fancy but at least a small coffee station. I was able to borrow a kettle from the main office. Also a microwave on each floor maybe in the Tv Room would have been greatly appreciated since there is note one in the room. The size of the fridge in the room was great. The problem however was there were no ice trays in the fridge and no ice machines in the facility. At a minimum add ice trays in the refrigerator. This facility was the most basic place I have stayed. Very clean and nice, the value for money would be excellent if the items i mentioned were available. We only stayed the one night instead of 3 nights

Good size fridge. Because this is usually a dorm, beds are well separated and there are 2 full size desks, making this an ideal option for sharing room with colleagues and friends who need their own space.

Nice quiet spot with basic amenities. No breakfast included as it is not a hotel. Shampoo was provided but no conditioner. Pillows were truly awful plastic things. Beds were comfortable. The only chairs were the hard plastic desk chairs. Not much around the campus to do and nowhere to eat within walking distance. Parking is not included in the price. I asked reception to print me a detailed itemized receipt for expensing purposes, but only the manager could do that and she was only available at certain times that didn't work for me, so I will have to email to request one if my work requires one. Overall a fine experience but a more appropriate price would be $50-75/night.

The lower cost and proximity to where we need to be is great. So are the towels. I do not like the sheets or pillows. The mattresses are fine but not fabulous. It can be noisy, especially if it is busy - the rooms are not sound proof at all. Usually the individual climate control fan mutes the quieter noises. There is no cleaning while you stay there, but they will give you more towels or garbage bags. The cleaning staff are fabulous - friendly and helpful. There are some friendly and helpful front desk staff.

Room was ok but I feel like it should not be promoted as an alternative hotel stay. Confusing entrance, I feel not safe and it’s a bit scary around the area with some of the student roaming around.

Like: Super Friendly check-out young guy. Cheap price. Dislike: My room *02 is next to a service room which is super noisy at night. I requested to change room but they said none available. So avoid 102, 202, 302, 402 rooms.

Loud room.

There was a mechanical system above my room that would kick in and out at night and throughout the night that was loud and unpleasant, and kept waking me. Loud enough that I was able to record it and had the staff listen to it when I checked. I pity the student you will get that room. Otherwise very clean and comfortable room and very central.

Was very good for the price. The property was made to feel like it was a hotel. Its perfect if you are travelling alone or with friends. The separate beds provide extra privacy if needed. The check in staff was bit rude but the check out staff was amazing! No complaints for the property whatsoever

Pour le prix, c’était parfait pour nos besoins. Nous avions seulement besoin d’une place à coucher et nous n’avons pas resté très longtemps dans la chambre. Je ne comprends pas les mauvais commentaires. C’était propre et parfait si tu as seulement besoin d’une place a coucher. Il n’y a pas de télé n’y séchoir mais il y a un gros frigo. Pour le prix, je retourner à cet endroit qui est vraiment très bien.
