Acadia University
The dorm room was very clean and quiet. We went to spend the weeeknd helping our son move into another dorm and watch some of the football practices.
The grounds were well maintained. Very easy to get around.

It's a perfectly functional place to stay. Don't count on using the kitchen because they don't supply plates or cutlery. The bathrooms are a little dirty. But overall, it's a decent place to stay for lower cost than most other accomodations in the area

This is a true campus experience. That being said the rooms and bathrooms are clean. You are a two minute walk to the Main Street. You are a 10 minute drive to shopping.

The Acadia University is located near the main street of Wolfville. It was such a lovely campus! I particularly loved visiting inside and outside of the Irving Environmental Science Centre, which was so close to the residence building!!

Budget basic.
This is a dorm room. No frills, tv, or AC (very hot inside, fan can be borrowed with deposit). Bathroom is not ensuite (shared). Pool is offsite. It is a budget accommodation, but considering how basic, still feels overpriced. Staff initially did not want to honour my hotels.com pricing. The best part about my stay was visiting the KC Irving building and gardens adjacent to the building.
