the Laundry Rooms are self-contained apartments within a newly built high-rise condo. I've stayed in two different rooms, across from each other, on the 19th floor and they were equally excellent, fully kitted out with everything you need, including an excellent view of the city and surrounding area. There are two grocery stores within 10 minutes walk from the building, so if inclined (as I am) you can prepare meals for yourself. There is complimentary coffee and (black) tea as well. If disinclined to cook, downtown Kitchener is a five minute walk or you can jump on the LRT and ride it the 10 minutes it takes to get to Uptown Waterloo. Well worth the price, it seems to me.
