Good practical value

Well managed practical stay. Clean and convenient. A little out of the way without a car. And it is a dorm. But a good value in a city with high hotel rates.

The lower cost and proximity to where we need to be is great. So are the towels. I do not like the sheets or pillows. The mattresses are fine but not fabulous. It can be noisy, especially if it is busy - the rooms are not sound proof at all. Usually the individual climate control fan mutes the quieter noises. There is no cleaning while you stay there, but they will give you more towels or garbage bags. The cleaning staff are fabulous - friendly and helpful. There are some friendly and helpful front desk staff.

Loud room.

There was a mechanical system above my room that would kick in and out at night and throughout the night that was loud and unpleasant, and kept waking me. Loud enough that I was able to record it and had the staff listen to it when I checked. I pity the student you will get that room. Otherwise very clean and comfortable room and very central.

This was a chance for my grand daughter to see what a college or university dorm looks like - she was impressed and thinks that St Lawrence will now be on her list for 5 years hence. It was very quiet - I didn't even hear the raccoon brigade outside the window during the night! It is very close to the Kingston BMX track which what drew me to the residence, and there was room enough for a race bike in the room. The staff was very helpful with a last minute room for my daughter and grandson. Really nice people on the desk!

I would have given 5 stars if the check-in experience had been better. The staff member handling the process (a young man) was continuously engaged in a personal conversation with a friend and seemed more focused on that than on assisting us. He hardly looked at us during the interaction, which came across as inattentive, unprofessional, and quite rude—though I suspect he may not have even realized how inappropriate it was.
