Micro Boutique Living Antigonish

shower was not good,, carry laugage up 3 flights of stairs

The place looked more spacious in the pictures, but it was pretty small. The giant refrigerator was making already small room even more smaller. We didn’t like the fact a few neighboring residents will be out in the parking lot smoking cigarettes.

The morning of my booking i got an text from the host stating there is no on site parking but in the ad it states free parking but behind the building there are signs for the hotel guest parking (see pic) but now i feel like im going to get towed, i couldn't get any contact with the "hotel", the room is in a bit of disrepair but mostly we did not feel safe, exterior door was always kept ajar so no security (see pic)

Location

The sloping mattress on both sides to the floor. No hot water. No parking and no elevator. No hotel staff on site. Dirt on the floor. Toilet older and very low to the ground. I could say more!

This is NOT a hotel, it is a rooming house. I have no idea how this place made it on hotel websites. The room has a Murphy Bed, which if you ever owned one, you know they have a cheap mattress on them because any quality mattress would be too heavy to lift and fold the unit. It is also right next to wall air conditioning unit, which couldn’t be louder if it tried. The shower only had piping hot water and it was so small, the one time I used it before deciding to shower at GoodLife, it was too small to turn around in (and I am not a heavy guy, just have decent size shoulders). Two of the toiletries were already open. I keep my head shaved, so I had no need for them, but I still wasn’t impressed. I could go on about the lack of even a box of Kleenex; the half-ply toilet paper and the people around the building, but if you’re still considering this place after getting this far… Enjoy!

Very very clean. The mattress was way too soft for our taste. Other than that was impressed.

The mattress

Advertised as a studio but actually 1/2 size standard hotel room. Alos they say you don't have parking yet there are 8 spots marked with MBL that were empty for the full 10 days I was there. for the price just go for a true hotel.

No on site parking was biggest negative issue

The location is central in the town. You can get to restaurants, shops, grocery store, university on foot or by vehicle if you choose. The room was freshly cleaned for our accommodation and the staff ensured we knew how to reach them for service, fresh linens if required. A very welcoming stay. We appreciated the staff's efforts to ensure all was to our satisfaction.

The check in procedure was not 100% clear to us but we reached out on our way and someone called us back before we got to there. To be honest the glitch appears to have been a communication that was not shared and I do not think was deliberate. In the future, I would ensure I had all the details prior to departure. I assumed they would be shared during our travel as I knew we had to share arrival time and I could not estimate that until we were within a few hours. In hindsight, I should have contacted them prior to departure to confirm even if the arrival window was not precise at that time. Rainy weather for the drive in from far did not help matters and is not within the establishment's control.
