Very clean and quiet. Excellent if you just need a place to sleep. No tv but free wifi so you can bring a laptop for entertainment. Bed was comfy. Will stay again in the future. You get a great room for the price. Nice cheap accommodation. Very impressed.

The staff were helpful, and the room was neat, but even with the window open, my room was at least 35C. Even laying with no clothes on, I was sweating. There was no AC in the entire wing, so just walking from the other offices felt like walking into an oven.

Unfortunately we have been experiencing a heat wave which has caused high temperatures in the rooms. Normally the nights are cooler which helps make the rooms more comfortable. We are glad you were pleased with the other aspects of your stay.

We stayed at Grenfell Campus for 5 days last week and we enjoyed our stay very much. The staff at check-in were very friendly and helpful. I’ve stayed here before and chose to again because I enjoyed it. We were in the old building, the Arts and Science building. The rooms are small but it’s what you expect at a college dorm room and for the price it’s great as you are out exploring all day and just need a place to sleep. We enjoyed having the kitchen available to make some meals and having read the website we knew to bring our own items. The kitchen was kept very clean and tidy and we tried to keep it that was as well. Last time I was there, there was an issue of security coming through at night and slamming the door on his way which wasn’t the best when trying to sleep but this time was much better and they quietly closed the door. Overall a great stay and I’ll stay again if I’m in the area during the summer months as it’s a great budget friendly option!

It was hot and humid when we were in Cornerbrook. Our room with only a small fan never cooled down. The hallway outside was hotter and it seemed there was a heater at the entrance. We were on the second floor and it appears normal evacuation rules are not followed since the only ext was at one end of the hall. It would not be possible to get out through the window in the event of a fire
The beds were extremely hard and a ‘small’ double.
There was minimal cutlery and cooking equipment in the kitchen
The only plus was that although dated everything was clean

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Unfortunately since the rooms do not have air conditioning and we were experiencing a heat wave during your stay it is difficult to cool down the rooms. Thankfully we are expecting cooler temperatures for the upcoming week. There is a door to exit the hallway at both ends on every floor. We are sorry you were not pleased with the bed and equipment in the kitchen. We do have extra cooking supplies available to borrow at the front desk.

They had the heat blasting in all of the buildings in July! It was unbearable. Everything else was fantastic, from check-in to cleanliness and everything you would expect. The temperature was absolutely unbearable. I would never go back or recommend this to anyone.

Hi Mike, I am sorry that you had this experience. We do not have air conditioning but we typically do not have the heat on in the summer. Each room has its own heat control. Some type of rooms like the apartments have a better air flow and cool down more easily in the evenings. Glad to hear the rest of our services were fantastic.

I stayed in the residence complex and I got what I paid for. The building was extremely hot and stuffy at 6:30 pm when I arrived. There was no air conditioning and to make matters worse the windows can only open approximately 6 inches so I could not get any airflow. I had issues with the keys trying to get into the building and I almost had to go get security. The cylinders for the locks are loose or something.
I can't believe they have students staying in this hole. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else.

Unfortunately we have been dealing with a heat wave which has caused our building to be very warm. Normally the nights are much cooler which helps to make the rooms more comfortable. The windows can only open a limited amount for safety reasons. We are sorry you had difficulties with the locks; we do not normally have any complaints when it comes to this.

I ran into an unfortunate situation and needed a place until my apartment was ready. I was referred to Grenfell Campus and I quite enjoyed my stay. The staff I dealt with (Mary and Kate) were very friendly and accommodating. The room was clean and they provided bed linens and towels plus there was wifi. It was a great stay on a tight budget.

Economical stay, good price compared with hotel, but there was no air conditioning and the windows only open about 4", and the heat stayed all night. They had no fans to lend us. This spoiled the trip and it wasn't even that hot a day. They should mention this in advertising.

Corner Brook is a small but very friendly town. The folks at Grenfell Campus provided us a private dorm room at a reasonable price. It was clean and, fresh-looking complete with Wifi. The room itself was rather spartan but the only lack we missed was a tv set. Happily the common room just down the hall had one and since we were the only users, we were able to watch what wanted at the end of our busy days. It was nice walking around the campus, reading the the bulletin boards, getting a handle on university life. In many ways was was quite the eye-opener. For being situated in such a small and remote town, Grenville Campus was as cosmopolitan as most any big city school. There is local bus stop but the town is entirely walkable and full of welcome surprises. Glad we well to Corner Brook, very happy we stayed at Grenfell.
