StFX University Summer Hotel

The university residence room is exactly that. A university residence, common room with TV, shared bathroom and shower, common area with kettle and microwave. Very similar to camping but in a room with a bed. We were there during a heat wave with no AC and we were not offered a fan for the room. It was about 32 degrees. So made sleeping a bit difficult. But priced cheaper than other places. So it is a safe clean place for a night

Great, for the price and convinienceof being on the University property we are visiting

Good times

The room was a great value and was quiet and relaxing. We were able to walk all around the town easily. The grounds were very well kept and beautiful.

great economical place to stay

Inconvenient locks, no mirror, bath outside room No cell outlets, one plug accessible, no hair dryer, Room rate too high, tv did not work, Wi-Fi access too complex and unsecured

24 hr front desk staff. Budget friendly. In center of town close to everything. Would definitely book here again in the summer.

Great property. Would stay again.

We had an all around great experience. Liked the service, the room and loved the town.

The room was clean and very affordable. The staff was friendly and helpful.

It was good value for the money spent

Unhappy about the bedbugs in both rooms booked.

Excellent Nous y retournerons 😊

The convenience.

Very nice!

Concerned about the use of plastic cups as not ecologically friendly

Great value. Good location. It's a dorm room, so small but clean. Noisy elevator but didn't bother us at night.

Clean , good price

Great place to stay!

Everything

School dorm. Unfortunately tvs not working.

Very classy and nice ambience

Room had nice amenities like fridge, microwave, coffee, and bathroom. Easy to get to and check in.

Safe and family friendly

Enjoyable stay

The personnels was courteous et professionnels. The price a little expensive same as hotel. I would expected a little lower rates for our stay. But fair. Very nice and clean. Thank you 😊

Friendly staff at check in

Very nice. Good price.

This was our 1st time at a University Summer Hotel. We were unprepared for the quirks - the over the top door access and security for the 2 room selection; the fact that the 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom sections are at opposite ends of the building ; that 1st floor meant the ground floor ( floor we were on at reception - no need to take an unnecessary elevator ride ); there is no provision of crockery or cutlery (only plastic cups n plastic stirrers n packet crema in plastic wrappers !! ) ; no bedside lamps ( only a desklamp across the room ). However we appreciated the good firm beds w cotton sheets ! And the rooms were spotless. There was a very good size fridge. The microwave is small.The parking is adjacent to the building. Its free but not undercover. Be prepared ahead of time for the quirks.

Easy to get to and reasonable price

Highly recommended! What a pleasant surprise — this was the most delightful stay during my 8-day trip along the East Coast. It was my first time staying at a university residence, and I was genuinely impressed. The room was spacious, spotless, and very comfortable. Free access to a kitchen, laundry, parking, and Wi-Fi was a huge bonus. Check-in and check-out were smooth and easy. I would absolutely stay here again!

Rooms are clean. Staffs are helpful and friendly. Quiet environments even there were students around. Highly recommend!

Affordable on campus option. The single room had a apartment-sized fridge!

A very pleasant 4 night stay for a sporting event n the summer, beautiful University town perfect for vacationing with beaches at driving distances as well.

It was like staying at a brand new hotel. Everything new and clean and the college staff were outstanding and attentive

Great place to stay for a reasonable price. The rooms are small but have everything you need

The college students who were the staff fair were so nice and helpful

Nice , clean place with little kitchenette in the room and even complete kitchen on every floor , very good stuff .... , but HORRIBLE , HORRIBLE bed - it is impossible to sleep on that kind of matters ( and it looks brand new ) .

Great value , excellent stop along the journey

This was a great place to stay.

Very comfortable , very nice place to stay ,clean ,excellent for the price . We would book again no problem .Very close to city center .

The hotel is nearby for all locations I need.

I had a very good stay.

Not only were my neighbors screaming into the night, the noise of the elevator was constant all through every night. The bed was so uncomfortable that im still in pain a week later. I slept horribly the entire time i was there.

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 .

Great rates in a beautiful building. Comfortable beds, room included small kitchenette.

Dorm at university was GREAT!!!

Excellent place to stay, nothing fancy but all the amenities required

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.

Great for business trips.

What a gorgeous place to stay while on vacation. Very low price, 125$. Would need to pay 225$ in big names places to get same quality. Highly recommend.

Great for a shor stay.

Great place to stay.

It was a unique travel experience. If we are to stay again, I would ask not to be next to the elevator. It was so loud.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Great place to stay during a camp at the university. The only bit of an inconvenience is the A/C can’t be controlled in each room.

Nice area of town

I stay here for the IWK 250 at Riverside Speedway and my only complaint is how absolutely hard & uncomfortable the beds are. It honestly feels like I'm sleeping on rocks. For what students pay for tuition & $200 a night for a room in the summer, it would be nice to have decent mattresses. That's my only complaint but because of the absolutely terrible beds, I am going to have to find a new place to stay every summer.

Second time staying here, zero complaints! Very clean, plenty of parking, and quiet.

Surprisingly awesome room with more amenities than expected.

W

It was a good trip and the hotel was okay. But the pool was not working and the fending machine was not working and the ice machine was not working!, they also need better pillows they were too soft

University settings room spacious and clean staff exceptional

Very nice place

Clean, friendly affordable. Had everything we needed for a great stay.

Can't beat the price. Great amenities in room. Wish the AC had stayed on during the night.

It was a dorm room. Clean but very basic and noisy. Absolutely nothing interesting or special other than to see the campus grounds.

Very good price for the room made up for a few deficiencies. The pool was closed (that was extremely disappointing since that's the primary reason I booked a room here), the gym was closed, the TV in my room didn't work. The way the staff described the pool and gym being closed they made it sound like it was part of a summer renovation. If that's the case, please update your Expedia listing and not reference those amenities. Would I stay here again, maybe.

A lovely building, wide hallways, high ceilings and very clean. We would stay again.

Excellent al around

Excellent price. Helpful staff.

Had a nice experience in staying inside the university.

Was not told in advance that there was an extra $20 for the cot although we said the reservation was for 3 people

Good place to stay

Interesting

Loved the common area sitting and dining areas and the common kitchens. Staff were very friendly. Great value.

Amazingly clean building and room. Students at check-in and out very friendly and efficient.

Nice clean room and friendly staffs.

Great area to stay and rest up. Antigonish town is amazing.

I had a nice stay. It was clean and had everything I needed in the room. The bed was quite hard for me but may suit some. The only thing I found very strange is I was with an infant and charged for a bed to put them in for each night which isn’t something that’s ever happened to me before and Iv been travelling will children for 23 years.

Great spot.

Lots of visible security. One of the cleanest but least expensive places I stayed during my 10 day journey. Highly recommend.

They made it so easy to book in while I was travelling between Louisbourg and Halifax. It’s right near the highway and lots of parking.

Clean and convenient. Not very expensive.

Overall our stay was ok and I would stay there again if needed however there are things that could definitely be improved upon. We rented 8 rooms and most of the employees we dealt with were excellent and a few that were quite unhelpful. For the most part it seemed clean aside from us being switched to a new room because our toilet was broken and the new room sheets were not on the bed properly and one of the comforters did not have a duvet cover at all which makes you question if the sheets were changed or in the process and not finished. The pool and gym were under construction (which we found out upon arrival). Since the pool could not be used and there is no outdoor seating anywhere we went to the soccer field to let the kids play and stay out of the way of the front entrance but were told we could not be in the area and it was locked up. This is definitely lacking in what other amenities your typical hotel has to offer for large groups or extended stays and more of a one night stay if you are touring the campus. Also, our keys constantly stopped working for the front door and the elevator was broken the day we were checking out so carrying lots of luggage down flights of stairs was quite an inconvenience. The free laundry on site was a benefit and location is great right in the center of everything.

Clean quiet comfortable and reasonable

Great place to stay, clean and very friendly staff. Beautiful property.

Wonderful stay at St. FX! Family of 4 (2 adults and 2 kids, 9 and 13). Our room had 2 double beds and our own bathroom. Very clean. Free laundry. Within walking distance to Tim Hortons, McDonalds and a couple other restaurants. The building we stayed in was next to the highway but it was super quiet. Campus was nice to get out for a walk. Beds weren't very comfortable for our liking, but good if you like a firm mattress.

Easy to find. Check in/check out was very easy. Staff was very nice. We would definitely stay again.

Amazing, we loved everything

Everything was fine

Mattress could be little better

It was very affordable, clean, spacious and staff was helpful

Very clean and quiet residence. Close to the Main Street. Recommended for sure!

Everything you need is here.

excellent

Wonderful University grounds Beautiful buildings, well kept and beautiful horticultural plantings Close to downtown Antigonish

I liked that they utilized this beautiful piece of University property as a hotel for the few summer months. Very clean and the students working the desk were very neat and respectable. I would recommend this University to friends.

It was nice and convenient

The stay was good. We didnt like the idea of separate two rooms and also there was no AC. As informed by the Reception staff the AC did work but it didnt for our rooms. Also the motion light in the hallway was irritating as it would come on and wont die for about 15 mins. Other than that everything was good. The staff was friendly, plenty of parking was available. Washrooms were very clean.

We only stayed one night here but it was absolutely amazing. The lady who checked us in was very helpful and gave us great advice. We used the facilities (laundry and kitchen ) which were very clean. We will definitely be back again.
