The room (#212) had everything I needed: comfy bed, large bathroom, mini-fridge, tv, coffee/tea. I did not notice much noise coming from adjoining rooms or from the street, so I was able to get a good night's sleep. The location was very good. The airport bus dropped you off right across the street from the hotel. There were lots of restaurants within a 10-15 minute walk. The staff was efficient, no issues checking in and out. The price I paid was more than fair.

The hotel was listed as a 4-star hotel on Booking.com, but it was more like a 3 or 3.5-star hotel. The furniture was a bit dated and worn. Nobody came to change the towels or tidy up the room during my four night stay. You could have requested the service, but for a 4-star hotel, you shouldn't have to do that. If this was a 3-star hotel, I would have been very happy. For a 4-star-hotel, it was just a bit underwhelming. All things considered, I would stay here again.

Location is wonderful

The parking lot is across the street in a parking lot garage that is not easily accessible. If I were traveling on my own without my husband - I would be very nervous parking my car there and making my way to the hotel on my own in the evening. My husband and I were approached and cornered by a homeless individual in the secluded area by the elevator leading down from the parking. The individual was not aggressive and did back off but if I was on my own I would have been very disturbed on what might have happened

A gem and the best hotel I have stayed in in years.. Quiet, very good beds, in good sized room with fridge and coffee maker,very reasonable rates..On site restaurant has three types of Eggs Benedict+poached eggs on fishcakes for breakfast that were all extremely tasty. A few blocks from the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic which is worth a whole day. You can see a deck chair from the Titanic and sit in a replica. Citidal is a slightly longer walk and all uphill which my son described as "good defensive territory". One to two short blocks to good pubs for lunch and only another couple of blocks to excellent restaurants for dinner.

Just a note that there is no housekeeping for stays of less than four nights But I don't get housekeeping at home and have learned to hang up my own towels so not an issue.

The location was amazing, super easy parking at the Scotia Parkade, all inside walking to the hotel, the hotel is like 2 blocks from the waterfront boardwalk, easy drive to the outlet malls and the hotel will validate the parking for you. Room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast downstairs was yum. Already planning our next stay!

I read the reviews before going and some people complained about outdated decor, I thought it was fine. The carpet in the hall was a bit bumpy, and the carpet behind the bathroom door was fraying at the end a bit, the wallpaper had a scuff on it. Some smaller details, but overall the room was clean and comfy. Great value for the price for downtown Halifax, and the location is worth it.

The rooms are spacious, clean, comfortable and the furnishings in the room are pleasant wood, good quality. The front desk staff was helpful and even printed paper directions for driving to Cape Breton. The location is within a 5-10 minute walk of almost every tourist interest point, shopping and dining and the waterfront. The hotel is attached to a good restaurant that is open until 10 PM.

These are minor, but not insignificant for me, points - the in-room telephone did not work, and despite my mentioning this, it was not made functional for me. -it would be nice to have room garbage collected daily. -the dispensers for shampoo, conditioner and shower gel (attached to the shower area wall) were stiff and difficult to use and the shower gel dispenser was empty and not refilled during my 4 night stay. One expects accessible toiletries in one’s hotel room.

The room was large and clean. Staff were very professional and helpful. They have security at night which made me feel safe. One of the most convenient locations out of all of the Halifax hotels. Restaurant is good with a coffee counter for the morning. Was very quiet also!

The lighting in the room wasn’t great at night. The toilets have extremely high water which is typical in most older Halifax buildings but is slightly discomforting for me. They don’t do room cleanings unless you stay for more than 5 days so you can have to call for extra washcloths, etc. but they’re usually pretty fast to get them to you. Very minimal complaints!

The location of this hotel was perfect. It was in walking distance of everything we wanted to see and do downtown. The price of this hotel was more affordable than others in the area as well. And the staff were very helpful throughout our stay. The restaurant served a delicious breakfast and coffee, which was a great way to start off our day. Most importantly, the bed was comfortable and clean. We didn't hear any outside noise at night, so we had a great sleep. And the bathroom was nice too. I would stay here again for the price, location and comfortable sleep.

The rooms are becoming dated. The carpet looks dirty and the couch didn't look clean, so we didn't sit on it. Although I expected this from previous reviews so it wasn't a shock to me. I was just happy to have a clean bed and bathroom. The heating was tricky to figure out ourselves. We had to call to ask how to turn it on. The heating system is dated so it was on the noisy side, but it did work! The saunas on the other hand didnt work, and the pool was too cold to swim in so we couldn't enjoy any relaxing amenities.

The hotel is perfectly located in downtown Halifax near a great pub called The Split Crow and restaurants and it is very clean and comfortable throughout. The Queen room and the bed were very comfortable, spacious and pleasantly furnished. Tea and coffee making facilities are in the room. Nice breakfast available in the on-site Tempo restaurant which does not belong to the hotel but you can walk straight into it through the hotel lobby. Tempo is also open most evenings for dinner. Very nice swimming pool, pleasantly warm, which was usually not busy mid afternoon. Staff very pleasant and helpful and were responsive and dealt well with any requests that we had. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Halifax. Can't comment on parking as we arrived in Halifax via airport bus with the bus stop being very nearby the hotel.

We were very satisfied with the hotel overall. Only a couple of points worth noting to improve things. Firstly, as mentioned by another recent poster, as the rooms are only cleaned every 3 days for stays over 2 days, the toilet roll supply in each room should be more well stocked to avoid running out before the next room cleaning. Secondly, the pool was lovely and pleasant to spend time in but the tiles in the pool on it's side walls are rather grubby and could to with a good scrub down.

Overall it went well, I could not figure out how to get the sauna to work and the pool was a little cloudy. The restaruant and especially the staff were great. Trying to figure out how to get the car to the main door involved a lot of circling and then their was an extra charge to park st Scotia Square. also could not get the tv guide on the remote to work

Parking and getting to the front door. I'm from the city so I was able to figure it out but a stranger would be confused. a map which could be emailed to customers before hand would help

Checked in early, had a big room. Everything was clean. Still don’t have anyone cleaning the room everyday, you have to request things. Parking is expensive but its location is great. Homeless ppl in the downstairs door. Scary at night. Nice checking lady. Bed was really comfy. Comforter could have been cleaner. Body wash in the shower was broken. I wish the rooms had microwaves. It’s a dated hotel but the one I liked to stay at. Shower is noisy. Curtains don’t close all the way unless you clip them
