What guests think

Residence & Conference Centre - North Bay is a budget-friendly, dorm-style option that many guests find spacious, quiet, and clean, with two-bedroom suites and kitchenettes offering strong value for simple stopovers, family stays, and trips near highways 11 and 17.

Suites are simple, typically with two small beds per room, reliable Wi-Fi, and full fridges and stoves but little to no cookware, dishes, toasters, kettles, or microwaves. Cleanliness is often rated very good, though a number of reviews cite stained bedding, dirty carpets, lingering pet smells, and occasional maintenance issues like poor drainage or temperature control. Facilities are limited for a hotel stay, with no TVs, a minimal gym, and a residence setup, and some guests found check-in across buildings and signage confusing while staff usually resolve issues quickly. Overall, expect a no-frills stay that works best if you bring your own kitchen items and plan to drive.

Great spot for the price. Nice to have the kitchen and access to the games room. It's a student dorm so rooms are not luxurious by any means and beds are a little small compared to a normal hotel room, but for a budget option it definitely does the trick/is good enough and you can put those dollars saved to great use on your trip somewhere else.

It was fine for a less expensive option. If we had needed to stay multiple days the kitchen would have been nice but we just had a short overnight stay. Nice to get 2 bedrooms but shared everthing else since traveling with my brother. The ability to do laundry was a bonus. People at the front desk were nice. Was a little weird to be back in a college dorm room! All in all well worth the money.

Great stay, great price, however pictures showed there was lots to do onsite, even the gym only had a treadmill: if these services are available to everyone staff needs to be made aware if it’s not shouldn’t advertise it.

The college has their own security and saw them often patrolling the parking lot. I've stayed here multiple times and never been disappointed. Best value in the Bay.

This is not a hotel. It is a dormitory. It was absolutely filthy. Soiled bedding, sticky floors, hairs on counter tops. We were offered a second room, which was worse than the first. We were refused a refund even though we didn’t stay. STAY AWAY!

I probably wouldn’t stay here again unless it was the only option. One of the rooms heavily smelled like dog. I had to keep the window open the entire time because it was so strong. There was dog hair throughout the room, to the point that when I returned home I had dog hair all over my clothes. Cleanliness of the kitchen and bathroom were passable. It felt like they really needed to do a good once over with a mop. Building definitely needed some repairs. Pluses were that the staff were cordial and the location was pretty quiet and felt safe. Lots of free parking available as well. The kitchen area has basically nothing in it, but I knew to expect this from other reviews.

We were pleased with the quietness, never heard a sound in the hallway or through the night, also that the suite was clean. The one exception to that was the carpets. They were dirty and we couldn't walk barefoot in the bedrooms.

I've never stayed somewhere so quiet. Usually we need to use a sound machine to drown out hallway/outside noise for my toddler, but we forgot to take it out of the car and it wasn't even an issue. The mattresses, pillows and bedding were all super comfortable. I slept better than I have in 4 star hotels. We'll definitely be back!

This was definitely a budget choice. The room was quite inexpensive and there are no amenities like a television or microwave oven though there is a fridge and stove so that could be a plus. The bed was comfortable. Everything was clean. My biggest issue was that the front door security locks did not work so it was easy for anyone to access the building without a key. And the biggest concern was that I shared the floor with a large group of people possibly Part of a team. They were noisy both nights having open door conversation, conversations between rooms and walking up and down, talking quite loudly until 3 or 4 in the morning. I did call the front desk and believe someone attended, but it did nothing to quieten the other guests. So, in the end, I didn’t get a great sleep.

2 lg bedrooms with long desk. Double beds, comfortable. Great pillows and towels. Better quality than hotels. No tv. No microwave. No dishes or kitchen linens so if you want to use kitchen, bring items with you. Full size fridge and stove(I didn’t use). Noisy elevators so ask for room at ends of hallways.

We had trouble getting there as there was construction. You have to check in one of the buildings, but then your room is in a different building, that the parking lot is a lot further from. I couldn’t barely understand what the check in host was saying. Not accessible to someone with limited walking distance. No carts to bring up your things. The building entrance door lock was broken. The room did not smell nice at all. The comforters looked dirty. For a quick nights sleep & no other things needed it’s fine. I won’t be staying here again though.

The only problem I had was that when I went to find the directions to it, Google maps took me all the way up to the University. But it’s the college residence, so I wasted time trying to locate it. Better signage is needed! Otherwise beds were comfy sheets were clean bathroom was very clean and we had two separate bedrooms, which is very nice.
