Very good

The room was clean and bright and the bathroom was in good working order. There was lots of room to store clothes. The bed was comfortable. The staff was friendly but not always helpful for someone from out of town. The hallway was very noisy until late at night and every sound in the hall could be heard. No ice. No alarm clock. No restaurant services. Pillows not very comfortable.Cleaning staff started early and very loud and noisy. Difficult to get a good rest. Will not return.
The only reason it’s not getting an absolutely terrible rating is that the staff seemed helpful in trying to help out. The environmental concern is the AC is much too cold, wasting energy. People are yelling at all hours of the night in the halls and have no regard for others. Sure it’s a dorm, but there are rules and guests are adults. Have some consideration for others beyond yourself wish self.
You get what you pay for but dorms aren’t supposed to be this expensive!! It’s ridiculous.
The location was excellent as we had booked a tour at the Kingston Penitentiary. I had only seen the diagram of the room layout and when we arrived the rooms were so much smaller than I had expected. No big deal. It suited our needs just fine. The people at check in were super friendly and very helpful. The hallways echoed a lot and it was rather noisy as we were right next to the elevators. No big deal. Although, what was rather annoying was one of the cleaning staff was walking down the hallway actually yelling - "hello" at 8:00 in the morning - I looked out of my door to see what she wanted and she apologized and said she was looking for other staff members. And a second staff member was yelling down the hallway minutes later....A bit discourteous and unthoughtful to those that may have been sleeping in. There was lots of parking available in and around the residence. We were a bit confused by the large parking lot up Albert street as we weren't sure if we should park underground or not. But we ended up parking on a side street next to the residence and getting up in the morning to put money in the meter at 8:00 am. Great option for accomodations if you are on a budget and perhaps want a campus experience! Beds were fairly comfortable. No complaints.
Équipe très serviable et gentille. Les chambres sont bonnes mais la salle de bain très petite. L’établissement dispose de cuisine que l’on peut utiliser
Great spot a block from the lake front park and 15 minute walk (I walk fast) from down town. Clean and comfortable and staff were really friendly and helpful. It is a university dorm, so austere. The parking is 2 blocks away and one block is a construction zone, so very isolated late at night.
We were a last minute replacement for a hockey tournament and prices elsewhere were crazy. The booking was 2 dorm rooms with a connected bathroom which was perfect as I was travelling with my daughter and her friend. Mattresses weren't the greatest but comfortable enough. Rooms were basic but clean. Overall good value for money for Kingston in the summer.
The property was clean and fairly centrally located.
What I didnt like was how I could hear absolutely everything clearly in the hallway. People were having conversations around midnight which woke me up. The might want to consider a bit of soundproofing
I appreciate the friendliness of the welcome, the cleanliness of the room and the pleasant location close to the water's edge and downtown Kingston. It is easy to find if you have a map...just two turns off the highway when coming from the west. It is very quiet at night, has a comfortable mattress and warm duvet to counter the air-conditioning. The two room with adjoining bathroom offers privacy, yet you are close to the children, perhaps, on the other side of the bathroom....reassuring for them if they are little. I couldn't be happier with the accommodation and affordable price.
