It was a quiet stay, nothing fancy - you get exactly what you're expecting from a stripped down dorm. Location was handy and the price was right. Showers left a bit to be desired but it was overall ok. I'd stay again.

Price is great. Super safe accommodations. A little warm at night and hot water takes a long time to get to shower and even when it finally arrives, it’s like warm. Beautiful university campus and it’s very close to some great food and coffee choices, along with recreation.

It's a perfectly functional place to stay. Don't count on using the kitchen because they don't supply plates or cutlery. The bathrooms are a little dirty. But overall, it's a decent place to stay for lower cost than most other accomodations in the area

This is a true campus experience. That being said the rooms and bathrooms are clean. You are a two minute walk to the Main Street. You are a 10 minute drive to shopping.

This would be a good choice for someone familiar with the Acadia campus. Since I wasn't, it was difficult to find the building for my check-in (which wasn't the same building as our room). The printed guide for summer visitors assumed a lot of campus knowledge -- and in any case should have been email to people with reservations ahead of time. Room adequate, but no towels.

Disliked: Amenities
The blanket smells of body odour. The shared kitchen has no kettle for boiling water, zero plates, bowl, spoon, etc. Two single use plastic cups were in the room, that all. I was given a room on 4th floor, there was no hot water the night I checked in, so I couldn't shower. The coffee and tea on offer was in a different building block, to access it I must get down from 4th floor, walking out the building where my room is, and through a large open space to another building to the reception area. Because there were no areas to sit, once you get your coffee, you must take it elsewhere to drink it. The check in was difficult too, because the buildings are looked the same and signage for check-in isn't obvious. I paid over $140 per night of stay and got an experience that was worse than accommodation I paid less than $80 for a night!
