For the cost, the basics were good. I would appreciate if the beds were more clean with a clean blanket (without holes), clean sheets and pillow covers. I like the front dress communication and service. Pls make sure if you add a tv to make it work. A lot of families come there with kids who like to watch tv at night. Overall good. 😊

We like the 2 rooms at this property, and that’s why we stay regularly. The room we had this time had 2 very worn out mattresses that caved in the centre making sleep rough. After night 1, I asked if we could somehow have that fixed, and was told a simple “no”. There were a few large groups of people who had unsupervised kids that were very loud and playing in the elevator area which echoed Dow the hall. Reception did not answer the phone to address the issue. We had sleeping children and found this very annoying. We will likely stay elsewhere next visit to Barrie.

The residence and conference centre was a great place for us to spend the night in Barrie. One note, there is no TV available in the rooms (there is a TV, but no cable). There is a kitchenette with fridge and microwave, but no plates or cutlery. Great front desk staff. Great value!

It was a good place to lay our tired heads. No bells and whistles, just the basics. Nice to have a fridge, sink, bed and air conditioning.

Wonderfully Affordable for Family

Great value; dormitory accommodation, affordable, very few amenities, unexpected options like a pool table and barbecues. NOT a hotel - no pool, no ice machines. Beds and pillows are made for durability, not comfort - but adequate. Exceptionally affordable for an inexpensive stay. Full kitchen but only a microwave and no dishes or utensils; wonderful for having takeout meals at the table & chairs. Two bedrooms, a bathroom and kitchenette for half the price of an inexpensive hotel. Close to the beach on Kempenfelt Bay, so great for a family beach weekend.

This is a dorm on campus grounds. We had to call reception to locate the property. The rooms were typical dorm rooms eith privstr bath. The beds were small for 2 ppl but doable for 1 night. Rooms are old but clean. The shower is super powerful., will take off a layer of skin kind of powerful. They would benefit with new shower heads. Wastes too much water. Fine for 1 nights stay. benefit property

We waited for someone to show up at the reception dates for 30 minutes. Then entered our room, put the suitcase down and saw a huge insect run accross the room. Returned to the reception desk, asked for a refund and told that he wasn’t there So very disappointed

Great place to stay for a quick overnight

This is the 2nd time I stayed at the Residence and it was very comfortable, clean, spacious & safe both times. Keep in mind it is a student residence and you will see some wear from previous tenants but overall it is very well kept.

It definitely needs upgrading. I understand that it is a student residence but wallpaper peeling, cupboards chipped and looks like water damage. Vertical blinds kept falling off track and a lot of calcium build up around taps. Also mattress was uncomfortable felt well used. I was on 8th floor. Staff friendly and I was able to have use of a hair dryer.
