Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why are your prices so low compared to a hotel?
A: We are a budget-conscious option for people who want to keep their expenses to stay in KL low. We don’t have a front desk or staff onsite 24 hours a day. Rooms are cleaned once a week (including linen change). Our no-frills accommodations are safe, clean, and affordable. Kitchen and lounge spaces are shared, and our residents are responsible for cleaning up after themselves in these spaces.
Q: What are your business hours?
A: Our staff is available by phone Monday to Friday from 10 am to 4 pm; if you call outside of these hours, you will reach the after-hours line, where you will have the opportunity to leave a message and our team will respond as soon as possible.

Q: Are your accommodations family-friendly?
A: Many of our residents work shifts, and sleep quality is a high priority for us. We do our absolute best to keep noise to a minimum. As a result, all guests in the building must be 18 or older.
Q: Can I bring my pet?
A: As much as we love our furry friends, there are no pets allowed overnight at the Kirkland Lake Residence. This is for many reasons, including staff and resident allergies, noise concerns, and the extra cleaning required. Additionally, pets left unattended can become disruptive to other guests (some of whom work shift work and sleep at different hours). If you would still like to stay with us, we invite you to check out local boarding options: Precious Pets and the Kirkland Lake Veterinary Clinic.
