Very appropriate conditions for the cost. Easy access as it's in the college dorms. Beds were a little uncomfy, but that's to be expected with the cost. No complaints.

Bed was so uncomfortable And pillow too I didn’t sleep all night Really meant for young people who can sleep anywhere. I’m too old for this type . Felt like a youth hostel because it’s in a school residence / dorm.

I would have given 5 stars if the check-in experience had been better. The staff member handling the process (a young man) was continuously engaged in a personal conversation with a friend and seemed more focused on that than on assisting us. He hardly looked at us during the interaction, which came across as inattentive, unprofessional, and quite rude—though I suspect he may not have even realized how inappropriate it was.

The property is dated and in disrepair. There were holes in the wall and the bed sheets needed replacing badly. The room never got serviced despite being told it would be after 3 consecutive nights.

Could be improved: Mattress is sagging leading to sore back in the morning. Blankets have minor stains. They could provision a microwave, hot water dispenser/thermos in the bldg -- extremely useful especially during winter.

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
