The towels were in very poor condition and the room smelled of cigarette smoke.
The positive side was that it was spacious.

This property doesn’t have their own parking and parking in front the building is privately owned by someone other. Which is limited too. In my stay it was full and was asked by the employee at front desk to park near main road with parking which is also privately owned. And got 80$ tickets. When asked again at front desk they said we can’t do anything its not our property. Then why even suggest to park there.

Okay property but keep in mind when booking that this is a university residence. There are not a lot of amenities and they only clean your room after three consecutive nights of stay. We also had issues with our door, having to constantly go down to the front desk to get a new key every day. Fire alarm also went off one morning. Overall, it’s a good place to stay on a budget but if I could do it over again, I would have spent a little more to stay at a proper hotel. Having a full size fridge/ microwave/ sink was very convenient but there was no utensils/ cookware/ plates. I did really like that our room had two seperate bedrooms (only double beds) and a common area with a small table/ kitchenette.

Room was clean and well looked after. Staff was friendly and efficient. Parking was handy and ample. Biggest complaint was it was confusing figuring out how to actually get there. It wasn't obvious with just a little lane off the back of a parking lot. Otherwise good.

The property is super clean and safe. Our room is facing the garden. We love to eat in the dining and enjoy the snow falling quietly into the garden.
