Ok, but not for comfort
It was good to have a place like that to pass the night. It’s not for comfort. But for a short time, it’s ok.

Worked well.
Previous reviews matched my experience. Easy to get in & settled. The space suited me well enough. Bonus that the bus stop was right outside!! Kind of hot, but the window opened with a screen so I was perfectly comfortable for the night. I was surprised to find a refrigerator in the room. But I may have missed that in the listing. I was also surprised to find 2 mouse traps tucked along the wall. I saw no evidence of mice at all -but the presence of the traps fed dreams of the sounds of non-existent mice.

Lovely stay!
Accommodations were fine. Pillows could be more appealing but overall, it was quiet and just what we needed for the two nights. Cannot beat this price. Will definitely stay again!!

Staying here would have been a lovely experience...except there was a guest in the room next to mine who screamed obscenities and banged on the walls from the time I arrived at 2pm until 1am that night, and began again the next morning at 8am. When I knocked on their door after midnight and they opened the door, they appeared to be using drugs and said they were having a bipolar episode. The college staff was very apologetic the next day and moved my room, but they let this guest stay, which I question. After communicating with the guest that night, I was afraid to reenter the hallway or even use the bathroom because they were clearly not in a stable place and were extremely angry.

It was good overall and a great price for people who don’t need a lot. It could be a tad cleaner. Some random hairs and dust were in my room.

This is a good operation, and the staff seems to be great all the way around. The issue seems to be how the building was remodeled with all its fire doors etc, there's no cross-ventilation and the building just retains heat. It could be 15C outside and your window wide open, and it'll still be low 20s in your room and mid 20s in the hallway. The mattress is pretty tough, too. A guy with a butt and and upped back and a smaller waist isn't gonna have his lower back touching the mattress all night, and will be feeling that in the morning (and for several mornings) Having said that, I'd choose this place again for a summer visit to Halifax given the value and enough time for my back and body to recover.
