Unexpectedly good hotel for a converted dormitory - the beds were actually really nice, and not "student beds" as I expected, and the rooms very clean. The room layout is a bit strange (if you get a 2-bed room, it's actually 2 separate rooms with 2 separate keys and an area common to both rooms with bathroom, mini-kitchen etc), but it's actually really great if you have someone who's a light sleeper (the other person can do anything in their room without disturbing them at all).
There is no way to contact reception! There is no phone in the room itself so you can't just "dial 0" as in a normal hotel, and if you call the phone number provided by Booking.com you get the voicemail of some guy in "housing services" of the university, NOT the hotel front desk. Really inconvenient if you've e.g. already dressed down for the night and need something all of a sudden. This may seem minor but it really annoys me, it takes literally 5 minutes to look over the Booking listing to ensure all the info is correct, the fact that the wrong phone number is listed just shows a lack of care.

7.0
The location, cleanliness and staff were all great.
The heat in the room was not adjustable and it was hot so I opened the window and the cold and heat battled all night so that's not very efficient. A way to adjust the temperature in the room would help to avoid wasted energy consumption!
Bed was a little too firm for me and the pillows were fairly flat so even though I got an extra pillow it still did not make for a good night's sleep for me...:(

Clean safe good location
Pool was closed gym was closed unaware of both. Wifi was weak at times no extra pillows no curtains over window making it too bright in the morning.
Issues with the room door not locking properly

Exceptional location and the campus looks spectacular. Were definitely not expecting when booking, the location is like an Ivy League campus with great facilities and close to restaurants, parking was accessible.
Nothing really to add. Maybe the checkin experience could be a bit easier - took a little while and some paperwork in addition to the booking.

Spent quite a bit of time in Antigonish and the hotel was very good to be at. The rooms are not too big, but we've got two in one suite, so there was plenty of room.
It was very quiet as well, since there's no students and not many people around. All the cafes and restaurants are quite close and you get a pleasant work through the campus.
I would definitely recommend.

We had a 2 room booked but unfortunately they had sold out but were very accommodating and provided us two single rooms very close to each other. Everything was perfect, excellent place to stay for the price. Very clean facility. Free use of the laundry room was an added bonus. Would definitely stay here again.
8.0
Excellent value for money. The the facilities were above expectations and you can’t beat the location in Antigonish.
Would be nice to have been told or have a handout at check in with when the pool would be available for guests/recreation as we didn’t realize until arriving that the times would be pretty limited and not really good for children. The beds being quite firm and uncomfortable is really the only complaint we would make.

It was noted as a summer hotel. It was graduation night and so the dorm rooms were full and there was a graduation party going on all night on our floor. Also the room is noted as a double but it had only one bed. I had to bring my cot in to sleep on. Parking was free but not convenient as the lot was full and hard to find a spot.
8.0
Free laundry was very helpful. Price is great and location was perfect for our east coast trip.

Clean, nice bathroom, two rooms.
The property was great, but two different staff unlocked my door and came in while I was in there, without knocking. The first staff I can see, as she thought I checked out, but I had another nights stay. The front desk apologized their error. The second staff came in later in the afternoon and I was in the bathroom. Thank goodness the door was shut. I heard him open the door. I thought it was my son, so I wasn’t alarmed and said Hi. He said oh I think I have the wrong room. I said ok. He didn’t leave. I called out hi, what can I help you with. He said sorry wrong room and then left. I was quite shocked as I was still in the bathroom with the door closed. Nothing was touched. I assume it was a staff person, but if it wasn’t then someone else had access to my room. My door was locked, so whoever it was had a keycard. I didn’t tell the front desk as I was trying to get ready to go out at the time. I just let it go, but it really is important that people knock first. Neither staff did, they just barged in.

They had 2 separate rooms, I was not expecting that, when you have children that goes on my list (I could take a quiet night break after a long driving). They had a full refrigerator. Hot water, comfy beds.
Parking wax a little far away, approx. 100 meters, air conditioning was not easily adjustable (not sure if I could control it)

The room was clean and spacious.
Third stay this summer and the problem with the AC still isn't fix. This ocasion we stayed on the fourth floor and our bed was extremely uncomfortable, the mattress was so hard that it felt as if you were sleeping in a piece of plywood. CHECK OUT AT 10AM that is the earliest we have seen from coast to coast.

Clean room
AC not working. The staff said that was the only room available so we have to end up staying in the room and using a fan.

The room and bedding was very clean.
The air conditioning wasn't working in our suite. There was a switch on the wall but it wasn't turning the system on. We have to end up rolling up the window to cool down the room. When I told the front desk about this issue, the only option they offered was to provide us with a fan. I paid for air conditioning and that's what I would expect to have.

Location, friendly and pleasant customer service, value
Found the bed just a tad hard, but not a deal breaker. Will definitely be back.

This is a great choice to stay if you need the comforts of home for a day or two, while you are away from home. The employees at the 24 hour front desk are helpful and knowledgeable about the campus and the surrounding area. The dorm rooms are more like little apartments, a far cry from the dorms of my university days. Our room had a small kitchenette and there was a full sized kitchen and lounge on our floor, also free laundry facilities which were a life saver after travelling for nearly a week.
The plasticized mattresses were slippery and we kept losing the sheets as we would turn over in bed.
