Working with group travel coordinators, the one thing the RCC team consistently hears, is the need for aff ordable accommodations and the ability to keep an entire group together. This can be a challenge, especially for larger groups, who are oft en too large for any one hotel to handle. Some of our RCC locations have over 1000 beds and are well equipped to handle groups of any size. In addition, our properties feature large, well lit parking lots, with ample parking for vans and buses. RCC is popular with many tour groups, especially student youth travel, because of our aff ordable pricing, our two private bedroom suites, and our destination locations, including Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ottawa, and Toronto.

Red Leaf students from France have stayed at Mohawk College for over 5 years and have returned because of the great Customer Service driven oriented business operation in Residence.

Families with children can each have their own bedroom in our two private bedroom suites, and business travellers may use the second bedroom as a living space or an offi ce.
