Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had clean and spacious rooms, equipped with everything needed for a city trip. While the central air conditioning made the room uncomfortably cold, the location was perfect for exploring all the attractions in Halifax. The dining experience was lacking, offering a very basic selection. On the bright side, the service was excellent, with helpful and accommodating staff.
The hotel has a convenient downtown location, perfect for exploring Halifax's attractions. The rooms could use more attention to cleaning details, but they offer a comfortable stay. The service was helpful overall, although there were some missed opportunities for assistance. The dining experience leaves room for improvement with limited options. The hotel's facilities are satisfactory for a pleasant stay.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were truly wonderful, with more comfortable furniture in an antique theme, but there were some noise issues and dust around the windows. The service, however, was top-notch, with staff going above and beyond to ensure guests were well looked after. The location was perfect, close to the boardwalk and all the attractions in Halifax. On the downside, the hotel could use some updating. The dining experience left something to be desired, as the food was cold and lacked variety.
I was initially surprised that my room was not in the main building, but it turned out to be cozy and well laid out despite the slight issue with the central air conditioning not venting properly. The damp smell was a downside that became noticeable only after a few days in. Overall, a comfortable stay with a few minor inconveniences.
The hotel is nestled in a lovely spot in Wolfville, making it great for both daytime excursions and quiet evenings. The rooms are cozy with a gas fireplace to keep you warm, but navigating between buildings can be a challenge, especially for seniors. The service is exceptional, with friendly staff willing to go the extra mile. However, the dining experience fell short of expectations with basic offerings. The location offers easy access to Bishop's Landing but lacks privacy due to its setup. Overall, a charming hotel with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel is located in the heart of downtown Halifax, making it easy to explore the city on foot. The rooms are beautiful but a bit basic, and although they were a bit dark, my stay was fine overall. The service was top-notch, with the staff taking care of every need and going above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay. The location is fantastic, within walking distance to the water and various restaurants, yet surprisingly quiet. The dining was well thought out, offering delicious options that catered to different needs. The facilities were great, including dry cleaning services and a lovely happy hour.
The hotel is conveniently located in Downtown Halifax, within walking distance of all central attractions and the waterfront, making it a great base for exploring the beautiful city. The rooms, spread across three buildings, offer some style and comfort but may pose a challenge for taller guests due to the sloped ceilings. The service provided by the efficient and friendly staff adds a touch of warmth to the stay, although a minor issue with an unidentified food basket left in the room raises a small concern about attention to detail. The dining experience, while continental-style, may not meet the expectations of those accustomed to more elaborate offerings, but the plentiful tea and coffee supply make up for it. The facilities are adequate, though some updating may be desirable both in terms of premises and services.
The hotel is located in an annex building, but this was not preadvised. My room had a nice balcony, although it was in a completely different building from the office and was too cold due to the air conditioning. The staff even cleared off our parked car during a snowstorm, which was a thoughtful touch. They are friendly, welcoming, and professional yet down to earth. The location is excellent for walking to must-see spots in Halifax, with a perfect balance for both nightlife and daytime excursions without feeling too rushed. The dining options were adequate and self-service, offering good value for the money. However, the breakfast could have more variety. Overall, it's within walking distance of everything in Halifax, close to the harbor, and surrounded by restaurants, making it a convenient choice.
