Check in was OK, but the directions to the room were very poor -- it took us 30 minutes to find and access the room, which was in a different building, with only one elevator and two wings, and construction going on outside. We were eventually helped by someone from Campus Security. It all felt rather like an IQ test! The room itself was OK, but most hosts at least provide salt and pepper in the room and more than 2ml of dishwashing liquid.

Well, you have to update your listing for them as they do not offer free parking or breakfast! Room was unbearably hot and was told they could not control the heat nor did they have a/c! Sorry, but don’t think I could ever stay there again

My stay at Grenfell was good for what it was. I only needed a place to sleep, so it was worth the price. But during the heatwave last week it was WAY too HOT and I had to go and purchase a fan. There wasn't much explanation of what was available to be used at the facility, but as I said, I really only needed the room to sleep in anyway.

The room was still being renovated, the room was very hot, could barely open the windows, no AC, no fan. We bought one. The mattress was terrible with a thin sheet. Hardly got any sleep. Cancelled our second night. Do not stay here.

The price was right for a private college summer room. Due to construction and the location of the room, it took about five minutes to carry our luggage up and down stairs, a hill and some long corridors to our room. The signage to the rooms was extremely poor, so we found a campus cop who could lead us to the room. The room was on a poorly heated ground floor so we needed to ask for extra bedding for warmth.

Property was clean, check in was easy. Even though it is dorm accommodations, there were four of us and the utensils were very limited. If I wanted another pot etc I would have had to "rent" them. Towels and face clothes provided were very thin. No television or radio. Yes I expected dorm style accommodations however for the price I would have expected to have enough utensils and towels.

Was not pleased that we were charged for parking. Then had to walk quite a distances to the building from the parking area, then a long route throughout the building to find the room. No tv in the room, no extra pillows or blankets. Considering the rates at other accommodations in the local area, next time that is where we will stay. These accommodations are not on par with the local accommodations, therefore, your rates should not be the same. Truly the rates should only

Sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your stay with us. We have extra blankets & pillows available at the front desk if you ever choose to come back. By reading your review, it sounds like you stayed in our oldest, most basic rooms. If you stay in our chalet apartments, parking is right at your door step. Same for our newer residence building which is wheel chair accessible as well. Thanks.

I was glad I chose to stay here! The room was perfect for my needs and was glad to have access to the kitchen! I wasn't looking for anything fancy - just a place to sleep and shower and this was perfect! Will definitely stay here again!

This property is great for families who are on a budget. It’s cheaper then a hotel, you can make and prepare your meals and you each have your own sleeping space. One and 1/2 baths was beneficial too. The beds are small in length and not really comfortable. But with that said, it was fine for what we needed for a couple nights.

Uncomfortable stay
We booked a family room, which is actually 4 rooms each with a single bed that share a kitchen and bathroom. Not good for parents with a toddler. The rooms were hot and the beds were extremely uncomfortable. I would not stay here again.

We actually stayed here twice on our trip. Once when we landed and again before we left. We enjoyed the free parking in the lot as well as the ease of check in. It was a bit confusing to find our room each time as the enterances are not clearly marked to where the dorms are. Overall clean and well maintained.
