When friends and family would come visit me in the summer during my time at Queen’s, this meant one of two things:
1) Having them camp out uncomfortably on couches, futons, housemates beds … or spoon with me.
2) Having them cough up big bucks for a hotel or B&B in Kingston, which is a pricey place to stay during the summer months (the cheapest rooms go for $130 a night) … and left less room for dinners and drinks.
My parents and friends often took the “house guest” approach, which meant hours of cleaning, scrambling for clean blankets / towels, and generally a feeling of impending claustrophobia.
Thankfully things are quite different now! As of this summer, your friends or family can visit you and actually stay in residence for as little as $32 per night. For a dingy room in Vic Hall this might sound a little steep, but imagine nabbing a swank air conditioned room in Watts for a friend … this is definitely an easy sell to get them off your couch!
The ‘Loved Ones Special’ allows friends and family to stay in Victoria Hall for only $32 a night for a single room, $42 a night for a double, or in a two-bedroom air-conditioned unit in Leggett Hall for $89 a night.
