We stayed here because my child was touring the college the next day. It was fun to see what the dorms are like. The queen-size bed is surprisingly comfortable! The only thing I had some problems with was the A/C. I'm not sure if it was working properly but I didn't realize it until it was very late at night. You might want to figure it out before bedtime, in case you need to ask someone in maintenance for help (if needed). I would definitely stay here again. It was a very good price for the accommodation.

The university was a very affordable option for a hotel room. I just needed a place to sleep. The room was very clean & comfortable, though small. Larger, clean bathroom. Good security with fob access. Parking was close by. I would suggest a sign for the Nechako that is readable from the parking lot

The accommodations at UBCO are well equipped, clean and perfect for quick stays or longer durations. There are different configurations of rooms available. Highly recommend it for an affordable vacation. As it’s summer there aren’t really any food options but the Airport Plaza is close with some decent choices, plus a Nesters.

We stayed in private room. They only provided towels in the room, mini soap and shampoo for one day. They didn’t bother even to put a box of tissue or bare minimum accessories to stay there. There was a tiny coffee maker with one time coffee supplies where we booked the room for 2 nights. We booked through Expedia, so expected a hotel standard service. We paid high fee like air bnb but staying there was very disappointing.

You’ll need to bring most of your own supplies because it’s a student residence, so it’s not as fully equipped as a hotel. For example, you’ll need to bring things like tissues and a baby bathtub if you have a littler baby, and the hire-dryer you need to ask the front desk. However, there is a shared fridge and microwave on each floor.

The unit was spacious but some problems were there. One blanket had dirty stain and it didn't seem to be washed. One toilet was not flushed fully so we couldn’t use it. And, one bed was not enough flat to sleep. It looked the bottom frame of the bed was broken. So, we only use 3 bed room except the room. However, the price of this unit was affordable. Also, living room and kitchen area were good to use. And, AC was good.
