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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Enjoyed clean, spacious, quiet room with 2 double beds, 2 TVs, etc. Access to a full shared kitchen was also a plus, but visitors need to bring their own dishes, utensils, cooking pots, etc. Great price & near fast food places.
