Great location with decent rooms. Walkable to waterfront which was decent. Parking in garage next door is $30/night. The breakfast at the hotel wasn’t fabulous- my bacon showed up in a pool of grease. Overall nice older hotel but I eat elsewhere.

Location is the key & best bellhop ever

Location is the key benefit to this hotel, across the street from the beautiful public gardens and walking distance to everything you could want in Halifax! Check in staff and service was very slow. Check out line was long; restaurant is overpriced. Comfortable bed and clean room -- the best part of my stay was the excellent and friendly customer service offered by Chris, bellhop and porter extraordinaire.

Staff were super friendly and helpful. Gave great restaurant recommendations. Hotel was very clean. Found it impossible to use on-demand TV. Ventilation in the bathroom would have been appreciated. The fact that the hotel isnt at Halifax’s great waterfront meant that we got to see other really nice attractions in rhe city (the Public Gardens and the Citadel), and spent a lot of time at the Waterfront, too.
