    excellent service
    delicious breakfast

    Surprised in the best way!

    From the front desk to the dining room, my experience was delightful! The valet service stood out, making arrival smooth. Breakfast was a highlight. those pancakes were simply out of this world! Most importantly, the atmosphere and staff made me feel truly welcomed. A gem of a stay worth raving about!

    outdated decor
    unbearable noise

    central location, stunning harbor views, nearby grocery options

    The noise from events can be unbearable at night!!! The decor felt outdated and uninviting, which detracted from the overall experience!!!

    kind staff
    nice stay

    Recommended for couples looking for comfort

    The staff were genuinely kind and professional. We were helped by Nick who was really good and made our stay nice.

    It wasn’t exactly cheap but acceptable for the experience we had.

    noise issue

    I loved the beautiful pool and spacious room I got, which made for a relaxing stay. The heated swimming pool and sun loungers were a perfect way to unwind after a long day. I had to switch rooms due to noise, but the staff made it a smooth process, so it didn’t ruin my experience at all. 😊

    good location
    included breakfast
    small room
    high price

    The location was good. Close to the train station and a superstore. Easy access to the river waterfront and many shops around. The breakfast included was great.

    The room was small and the price felt a bit high for what we received. Some amenities could use improvement.

    waterfront boardwalk
    halifax public gardens

    great access to waterfront and beautiful gardens for city strolls

    During my stay, I loved being just a short walk away from the vibrant waterfront boardwalk and the stunning Halifax Public Gardens, making it easy to enjoy the sights while strolling around the city. I found the dining experience to be fantastic with friendly staff who made my evenings memorable, especially at Roy’s where I had my last dinner in Halifax.

    comfy beds
    great harbor view
    clean bathroom
    small bathroom
    stingy body wash

    The room was excellent with a fantastic view of the harbor. The beds were super comfy, and I had a great night’s sleep. The bathroom was clean but a bit small for my liking. Plus, the shower was nice, but the body wash was stingy—had to ask for more. Overall, it felt upscale, but some amenities could use a little update.

    comfortable room
    loud air conditioning
    noisy environment

    I enjoyed my stay here even more than my last visit to halifax. The harbor view from the premium room was fine, and i loved waking up to the sight of the ocean. The staff were genuinely friendly and helpful

    the air conditioning was quite loud.

    nice pool
    great value

    This was a top selection for a fleeting trip in Halifax, and it was great for the money. The pool was a nice feature, and we enjoyed having it all to ourselves. Consider parking options ahead of time to make things easier.

    lovely staff
    great location
    excellent breakfast
    loud air conditioning
    slightly noisy environment

    The stay was quite pleasant overall, thanks to the lovely staff and great location. It was nice to be so close to the waterfront and all the attractions, making it easy to explore the area. The breakfast buffet exceeded my expectations with its variety and quality. However, I did notice that the air conditioning was quite loud, which detracted a little from the comfort of the room.
