StFX University Summer Hotel

Les installations sont parfaites. Mais demandez une chambre loin de l’ascenseur qui est très, très, très bruyant et cela durant toute la nuit.

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.

Great stay, love the place, only down side is that the advertised pool and gym were closed for renovations

It was a good trip and the hotel was okay. But the pool was not working and the fending machine was not working and the ice machine was not working!, they also need better pillows they were too soft

Second time staying here, zero complaints! Very clean, plenty of parking, and quiet.

Excellent pour voyager en famille, beaucoup de services gratuits: accès à la cuisine, buanderie. Personnel sympathique et accueillant.

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.

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.

Very good price for the room made up for a few deficiencies. The pool was closed (that was extremely disappointing since that's the primary reason I booked a room here), the gym was closed, the TV in my room didn't work. The way the staff described the pool and gym being closed they made it sound like it was part of a summer renovation. If that's the case, please update your Expedia listing and not reference those amenities. Would I stay here again, maybe.

Très bon endroit sympa calme. Petit point négatif pas de vaisselle et ustensiles dans la cuisine.

Rooms are clean. Staffs are helpful and friendly. Quiet environments even there were students around. Highly recommend!

Amazingly clean building and room. Students at check-in and out very friendly and efficient.

Well situated , clean and quiet.

Beds are comfortable, rooms are clean.

The room wasn't cleaned when we checked in. Received the keys and entered the room only to find messy rooms with beddings untidied, garbages on the counter.counter.

This was our first time staying here. It was a beautiful, clean, quiet location. A perfect place to overnight after getting off the ferry in North Sydney.

Second time staying here, zero complaints! Very clean, plenty of parking, and quiet.

Nice clean room and friendly staffs.

Beautifully tidy, clean, high quality rooms, except the bed a little lumpy. No signs to "Summer Hotel" so I had to ask, and not obvious where to park. Apart from small things, more comfortable than any hotel I have stayed in recently. I will stay there again.

The hotel was nice, but the bed was very hard and uncomfortable, the room was freezing which was nice on the really hot days, but only one blanket made sleeping uncomfortable because we were freezing. I didn’t realize how far everything was from the hotel. Its great that it’s right on the STFX campus, but Walmart and superstore were a 30 minute walk away, so if you don’t have a vehicle like us it was quite challenging as we were there for a week. However Sobeys and some fast food restaurants were only about a 10-15 minute walk away which is much better, but we needed to get a sweater and some sweatpants from Walmart to compensate for the cold room. Expedia stated that there was a shared kitchen, but we weren’t able to find it so had to rely on microwaveable food and meals which really sucked and made for not so nice a stay. Would have been nice if there was at least a hot plate, but given that it is on a university campus, it makes sense that there isn’t one. The tv didn’t hook up to anything so we couldn’t watch anything which made the stay very boring. Overall, it did what was required, the staff was pleasant, the atmosphere was fine. If there was at least a thermostat in the room to control the temperature it would have be much more enjoyable. It was just so cold from the AC.

Great value. Good location. It's a dorm room, so small but clean. Noisy elevator but didn't bother us at night.

Affordable on campus option. The single room had a apartment-sized fridge!

It was a dorm room. Clean but very basic and noisy. Absolutely nothing interesting or special other than to see the campus grounds.

Not only were my neighbors screaming into the night, the noise of the elevator was constant all through every night. The bed was so uncomfortable that im still in pain a week later. I slept horribly the entire time i was there.

Great rates in a beautiful building. Comfortable beds, room included small kitchenette.

I stay here for the IWK 250 at Riverside Speedway and my only complaint is how absolutely hard & uncomfortable the beds are. It honestly feels like I'm sleeping on rocks. For what students pay for tuition & $200 a night for a room in the summer, it would be nice to have decent mattresses. That's my only complaint but because of the absolutely terrible beds, I am going to have to find a new place to stay every summer.

It was a unique travel experience. If we are to stay again, I would ask not to be next to the elevator. It was so loud.

The room is simple and cozy. It has everything needed including a medium size fridge with a freezer!! Very useful to freeze my five chocolat bars from Peace by Chocolate! Suzanne

When I arrived there was signs all over the parking lot saying no overnight parking, when asked about it at the desk I was told the lot for overnight parking was to the right when you go out the door and facing the building. There is 3 lots and they all have signs for no overnight parking so When I called and went by the gentlemans instructions I finally found what I assumed was the lot he was talking about but when I gave him the lot number he couldn't even tell me if that's the right one or not. When booking the room it says it would be suitable for 2 adults and a child, lucky my wife decided to stay home last minute because the bed was tiny, I'm 6'2 and my feet were hanging off the end of the bed and there is no possible way you could sleep 2 adults and a child of any age in that room, 2 adults in the bed is pushing the limits a bit. The mattress is also probably the most uncomfortable mattress I've ever slept on. After getting connected to the internet I figured I would put Netflix on for my son to watch cartoons while I got things sorted out, after trying to connect the smart tv in the room to the internet for about 15-20 mins puzzled why it won't pick up a wifi network I call the front desk and am told that the smart TVs don't connect to the internet and we have basic cable in the room. The room was also very warm and there is no access to the thermostat to adjust the temperature so that unfortunately made it difficult to sleep. Can't say I would return here

Amazingly clean building and room. Students at check-in and out very friendly and efficient.

Excellent price. Helpful staff.

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.

De locatie was uniek met veel faciliteiten. Het is bijzondere om in een universiteit te verblijven. Het nchecken duurde wat langer. De afstand naar het centrum van de stad valt mee om te lopen.

Easy to find. Check in/check out was very easy. Staff was very nice. We would definitely stay again.

Nice clean room and friendly staffs.

The college students who were the staff fair were so nice and helpful

Loved the common area sitting and dining areas and the common kitchens. Staff were very friendly. Great value.

Friendly staff at check in

Room and stay was quite comfortable but the staff are inexperienced and not helpful. I forgot my car key at the front desk while checking in. The next morning when I enquired about it they denied having found the key and didn't even bother to check the front desk area or the lost and found. Later in the day I went back to the hotel travelling hours taking time from my vacation to check and they handed me the key and apologized and said someone found it last night. The morning staff could have saved hours of my time .

The hotel is nearby for all locations I need.

Wonderful University grounds Beautiful buildings, well kept and beautiful horticultural plantings Close to downtown Antigonish

Very clean and quiet residence. Close to the Main Street. Recommended for sure!

Nice area of town

Great area to stay and rest up. Antigonish town is amazing.

24 hr front desk staff. Budget friendly. In center of town close to everything. Would definitely book here again in the summer.

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.
