I stayed here 4 nights as my spouse needed surgery. It was very convenient to get to the hospital. The grounds are lovely. Rooms are very basic. There’s a fridge and microwave. You must bring all your own kitchen items. To boil water I had to go from the 8th floor to the main floor, not great. Housekeeping is non existent. Towels are very small and hard to come by, best to bring your own.

There was nothing the we liked about our stay here. We found both the checkin and checkout people to be very rude and couldn’t careless. The room was not clean but because of the reception we received upon checkin, we didn’t bother to say anything. Although there were TVs in the room neither of them worked and when I asked I was told I needed a computer. Since when is a computer needed to watch Tv? There were other things.Very very rude people. I will never stay there again

Other then location to hospital there wasn't really much to brag about. 2 old beds springs dig into your ribs. Bathroom door knob broken and locks en you close it. Finally fell asleep for a nap after a sleepless night only to be frightened from my bed and deep sleep by a lock down telling me to be prepared to defend myself. Im assuming it was a drill but a heads up as a guest would have been nice. If you want to be close to hospital this place is great, but I can't really say anything else uncomfortable, cold, dirty.

Comfortable pillows. Beds don’t have proper mattress cover so the sheet just pulls off. Good AC. Nice to have full sized fridge. Rooms are run down with peeling wallpaper, sad shower and base cover. Good price for a cheap stay.

Great place to stay. Quieter than most hotels, and reasonably clean. The place is a student residence so its a bit beat up but having two doors to the hallway instead of one really cuts down noise compared to other hotels. Some of the beds are really creaky but at least you have two to choose from.

Super idea, great use of seasonal college residence. Units were stocked with the basics of any hotel, yet provided two private bedrooms as opposed to the standard 2 beds of a hotel room. Loved the full size fridge in the kitchenette. Downside, no kettle or coffee maker, TVs did not have remotes for the service provider (Shaw in this case). Free WIFI saved the day with a cable hookup from laptop to TV. Would definitely stay here again.

I got the room for my sister and nephew. They ended up leaving almost as soon as they got in the room. There are tvs in both bedrooms but neither worked at all. They just went back home that night.

The property is absolutely stunning, and the campus is well kept and run with security 24/7 so you don’t have to worry about your safety on site. The room… was rather dingy. There was mud and dust caked in the corners, the towels had some stains, the bedding was old and outdated and scratchy. If you’re looking for somewhere affordable with a kitchenette though it does the trick! I recommend bringing your own blanket, and something to stream to your TV as well as there is wifi but no cable.

When you arrange to stay at the cheapest accommodations in the town, you’re expectations are low. BUT, in this case the room and staff overly exceeding my expectations! Room was very clean, bed was very comfortable and I was able to sleep very comfortably!

This was convenient for an overnight sleep. Beware that when you check in LATE there is parking that says visitor parking and if you are only staying from midnight to 6am you figure thats ok seeing as there is no time limit. At 6am find a $30 parking ticket and down the row there was a machine, but not lit up at night and sign did not say 2 hour parking limit. Very unfair!!

Residence & Conference Centre in Barrie offers a budget-friendly option with separate rooms, a fridge, and a sink, making it a practical choice for those looking to save on accommodation costs. While it may not offer the luxury and amenities of high-end hotels, it serves its purpose for a short stay. However, management should prioritize better cleaning practices and consider investing in some basic renovations to improve the overall appeal and satisfaction of their guests. Peeling wallpaper and chipped trims can give an impression of neglect, which affects the overall aesthetics of the room. Investing in simple cosmetic improvements could elevate the ambiance of the accommodation. If you're looking for a no-frills option and are willing to overlook some flaws, this place might suit your needs.
