Room and stay was quite comfortable but the staff are inexperienced and not helpful. I forgot my car key at the front desk while checking in. The next morning when I enquired about it they denied having found the key and didn't even bother to check the front desk area or the lost and found. Later in the day I went back to the hotel travelling hours taking time from my vacation to check and they handed me the key and apologized and said someone found it last night. The morning staff could have saved hours of my time .

The hotel was nice, but the bed was very hard and uncomfortable, the room was freezing which was nice on the really hot days, but only one blanket made sleeping uncomfortable because we were freezing. I didn’t realize how far everything was from the hotel. Its great that it’s right on the STFX campus, but Walmart and superstore were a 30 minute walk away, so if you don’t have a vehicle like us it was quite challenging as we were there for a week. However Sobeys and some fast food restaurants were only about a 10-15 minute walk away which is much better, but we needed to get a sweater and some sweatpants from Walmart to compensate for the cold room. Expedia stated that there was a shared kitchen, but we weren’t able to find it so had to rely on microwaveable food and meals which really sucked and made for not so nice a stay. Would have been nice if there was at least a hot plate, but given that it is on a university campus, it makes sense that there isn’t one. The tv didn’t hook up to anything so we couldn’t watch anything which made the stay very boring. Overall, it did what was required, the staff was pleasant, the atmosphere was fine. If there was at least a thermostat in the room to control the temperature it would have be much more enjoyable. It was just so cold from the AC.
