Macewan University Residence

Not really a hotel at all. You are renting a room in a dorm. No A/C. Paper-thin walls. Lots of noise inside as well as outside (all of which you hear, since you have to keep the window open if you don't want to die of overheating). Front desk is not interested in helping. I had to beg to get change to pay for the parking. Generally an awful experience.

Prós: It was certainly cheap.

Contras: No air conditioning. Swelteringly hot. Very noisy. Front desk would not provide change. Sketchy parking. Bed that made horrible noises every time you shifted weight.

Good value but do NOT stay here in summer--no air conditioning and the window that opened was tiny. As a result the room gets unbearably not; the tiny fan provided did not help much.

Prós: location

Contras: The residence does not have air-conditioning and the window that opened was tiny. As a result the room was unbearably hot; the tiny fan provided did not help much.
