The price is right but you certainly get what you pay for. We booked the 4 bedroom apartment. Location was great and the campus is quite beautiful. However, rooms were not clean, surfaces were sticky. Furniture was stained. Rooms were really hot (no ac). If you are looking for a hostel, this is great. If it’s a hotel you are looking for, pay the extra money and don’t stay here.

Wouldn't recommend this place
Okay first of all, a Construction Company was blasting rock less than 200 yards from my window along with the heavy rock moving equipment going steady?The bed look the same as the ones used at the Paris Olympics? The pillow was flat as a Marshmallow, I did request another one , Gendelman did bring me one. Check myself out before 6:00am the following morning. Now let's talk about your scam , on your website I noticed the price was $56.07 total? Absolutely no mention that it is US funds until I checked-in ? Mount St Vincent University is in Nova Scotia Canada not the United States of America? So would you price in US Currency? To whom do I contact for a refund?

Tucked away at the end of street with grassland in front, very quiet (saw a deer family there), but also means a few minutes drive to any other facilities. An apartment with 4 single-bed bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a kitchen with basic cooking kit, simple, clean and spacious. Laundry on each floor and can purchase detergent in case you forget. Both are very reasonably priced. No housekeeping, but reception is there till 10pm and helpful.

Je ne recommande pas cet endroit qui est loin du centre-ville en autobus. Il n’y a pas de restaurant autour et aucune possibilité de manger dans l’établissement. Les indications pour s’y rendre ne sont pas évidentes. J’ai du découvrir le campus pour y arriver. L’endroit était très propre et les personnes accueillantes. Le gardien de sécurité la nuit n’était pas discret. Il parlait devant les fenêtres ouvertes en pleine nuit. Ma chambre était cette à côté des grandes portes qui ont claques à chaque heure puisque les gens allait et venait. Je ne recommande ps cet endroit la nuit si vous voulez dormir. J’ai discuté de cela avec le gardien patrouilleur et il était impoli.
