Hopefully complimentary airport shuttle and breakfast will be offered in future. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Lianne Dec 3, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Convenient and Comfortable stay A great location when visiting the University. Convenient and allows for focused work within your room. The breakfast is not included. I had the breakfast on day 1 but chose not to do this again as I do not believe it is value for money. That said, the rest of my stay was good and the coffee available was excellent, especially for early morning hour working! ##### Lianne Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Oct 14, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great place to stay. I had one night only. Parking was a little tricky but ultimately ample. Understandable that it was a big weekend in Bloemfontein but breakfast should have been included in the price. WiFi login in details weren't provided at check in which required me to call and request it. A little noisy in the morning but that it down to other guests. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Oct 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Apr 6, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Norfolk Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Fredericton-Hotels-Norfolk-Motel.h2803841.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue Mountain Resort Home Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Owen-Sound-Hotels-Blue-Mountain-Resort-Home-Collection.h35594105.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach Hotel in Tobermory](https://www.expedia.ca/Tobermory-Hotels-Beach-Hotel.0-0-d59192-tBeachHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Long Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Long-Beach-Hotels.d2058.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Charltons Banff](https://www.expedia.ca/Banff-Hotels-Charltons-Banff.h891285.Hotel-Information) > > [Colombina Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Venice-Hotels-Colombina-Hotel.h527466.Hotel-Information) > > [Capsule Hotels Canada](https://www.expedia.ca/Canada-Capsule-Hotels.d31-aaCapsuleHotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [InterContinental Grand Stanford Hong Kong by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Kowloon-Hotels-InterContinental-Grand-Stanford-Hong-Kong.h28082.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Bali](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Bali-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d602651-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Sunset Vistas Two Bedroom Beachfront Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Petersburg-Clearwater-Hotels-Sunset-Vistas-Two-Bedroom-Beachfront-Suites.h871861.Hotel-Information) > > [Eagle Bluff Bed & Breakfast](https://www.expedia.ca/Prince-Rupert-Hotels-Eagle-Bluff-Lighthouse-Bed-Breakfast.h10119974.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Málaga](https://www.expedia.ca/Malaga-Airport-Hotels.0-aAGP-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Royal Canadian Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Banff-Hotels-Royal-Canadian-Lodge.h18100.Hotel-Information) > > [MarriottHotelsResorts Hotels in Niagara-on-the-Lake](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-On-The-Lake-Hotels-Marriott-Hotels-Resorts.0-0-d8957--bMarriottHotelsResorts.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Inn on Canyon](https://www.expedia.ca/Radium-Hot-Springs-Hotels-Inn-On-Canyon.h15284698.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Minot (MOT) to Orlando (MCO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/mot/mco/minot-to-orlando) > > [Flights from Mexico City (MEX) to Ladyville (BZE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/mex/bze/mexico-city-to-belize-city) > > [Flights from Gander (YQX) to Lincoln (YFC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqx/yfc/gander-to-fredericton) > > [Flights from Spokane (GEG) to Dallas (DFW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/geg/dfw/spokane-to-dallas) > > [Flights from Richmond (YVR) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/yyc/vancouver-to-calgary) ### Cruise ### Activities ### Packages > [Land's End](https://www.expedia.ca/Lands-End-Cabo-San-Lucas.d6075784.Vacation-Attraction) ### General > [Visit Notre-Dame-du-Laus](https://www.expedia.ca/Notre-Dame-Du-Laus.dx3000474846)
