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

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.

Good practical value

Well managed practical stay. Clean and convenient. A little out of the way without a car. And it is a dorm. But a good value in a city with high hotel rates.

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.

This was a chance for my grand daughter to see what a college or university dorm looks like - she was impressed and thinks that St Lawrence will now be on her list for 5 years hence. It was very quiet - I didn't even hear the raccoon brigade outside the window during the night! It is very close to the Kingston BMX track which what drew me to the residence, and there was room enough for a race bike in the room. The staff was very helpful with a last minute room for my daughter and grandson. Really nice people on the desk!

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.
