Parking was very difficult and cost me $60 for two days. Would likely not book another stay unless there was an improvement on the parking since there are other options in the immediate vicinity with better parking arrangements. (i.e. Valet, reduced parking fees, map of parking structure, etc. )

Our room view was the roof of a courtyard with hallway and room windows. Having stayed at other hotels in the maritimes with gorgeous views, this was very depressing. We couldn't keep our drapes open. The rooms are old and need to be remodeled. It reminded me of hotel rooms from my childhood, so there is a nostalgia feel, but they haven't been super well maintained. There was dust in a lot of corners. The restaurant/cafe downstairs was nice. But we always had to wait for someone to serve us at the cafe. The food and drinks were good. The chowder was great! There was no room service, we had to pick up take out drinks from the restaurant downstairs. Still nice to have but not used to having to get our own room service. We thought there was a microwave in the room but there wasn't, only small fridge. The part we really didn't like, is we stayed for three nights and there was no room cleaning at all. We were traveling with a toddler so having garbage taken out daily would have really improved the experience. We did leave a message for housekeeping to bring extra towels and coffee and they were promptly delivered. We did check out the pool and it was nice, with locker room, washroom, sauna and shower. There was also a small fitness room. The parking is across the street. Not a big deal, but the instructions were insufficient and the signage was almost non-existant. The drop off at the front of the hotel is tight but this didn't cause any issue. Excellent downtown location.

The location is great for the visitor who wants to explore the food scene, harbourfront, and museums! We had the option of staying at higher-rated hotels further from downtown, and we're happy we went with the Barrington. I wouldn't stay here again if we had planned to stay mostly in the hotel to use the amenities and enjoy the room. The room and furnishing are dated, to the point where it was difficult to tell if it wasn't cleaned or just old. The hotel was great for what we needed it for, and staff were incredibly friendly and helpful at the front desk.

The hotel is located in central Halifax and is within walking distance of the Harbour, restaurants and nightlife. It is an older property, and the elevators are not the fastest. The restaurant attached to the hotel on the ground floor is convenient although pricier than what I was expecting.

The hotel was awesome. The pool was a bit cold. And the sauna didnt work, but other than that, it is an amazing hotel. I would def stay here again. I just didn't care for parking at the parking garage. It felt too confined for me.

This hotel is great for anyone attending events at the Scotiabank Arena. You just walk up the hill, or take the pedways and hallways
