Really clean! We stayed at this property in August and the price was right. The check in was easy and the room was very basic but very clean. There was no air conditioning but the fans kept things nice and cool. The gym was awesome, within walking distance, and free. It was a 5 minute walk to the school dining with had a great breakfast.

We loved having a room each for a couple nights as we travel from Toronto to East coast. This was an easy place for the 5 of us . Free laundry was a bonus and we appreciated the facilities abailable and full kitchen. They provided some basic dishes. Towels and soap are available as well. Everything was basic , but worked well for our needs.
