Guest Reviews & Ratings
My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were modern, clean, and well-equipped, albeit a bit small. The service was exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to accommodate our needs. The location was convenient with easy access to major attractions. However, the dining options were not as impressive, and the price for some services felt a bit high.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were super clean and had a friendly staff. The location was excellent, right in front of the public gardens, and the rooftop view with technical equipment was a nice touch. However, the dining experience was a bit lacking. Overall, a great value for money.
I had a fantastic stay at the hotel! The rooms were perfect for a solo traveler like me, stylishly decorated with a very comfy bed and pillows. The service was top-notch, with attentive and friendly staff always ready to assist. The location was ideal, within walking distance of key landmarks and offering a blend of historic and modern Halifax. The dining experience was particularly delightful, with a great variety of freshly prepared dishes to enjoy. Overall, a wonderful experience with excellent value for money.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, despite being described as 'petite,' were actually quite spacious with a comfortable king-size bed. However, there were some issues with street noise and our room not being ready despite requesting an early check-in. On the bright side, the service was exceptional, especially given our situation with a baby needing immediate accommodation. The location was superb, with easy access to key attractions. The dining options were good, particularly the fresh breakfast choices. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.
Staying at the hotel was a fantastic experience. The rooms were clean and quiet, which was great, but the unpleasant food odors from the kitchen vents were the downside. The service was top-notch with helpful and friendly staff, making the stay very welcoming. The central downtown location was ideal for exploring Halifax, being within easy walking distance of key attractions. Dining offered a fresh variety with the option for custom omelettes, though more options would be nice.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On the upside, the location was excellent, right across from the stunning Public Gardens and within walking distance of the harbor and downtown area. However, the rooms were disappointingly small, almost like a closet, and being on a lower floor near the conference rooms gave off a basement vibe.
The hotel offers clean, spacious, and comfortable rooms despite being a bit outdated. The service is warm and friendly, ideal for group stays. Its location is conveniently close to popular landmarks, making sightseeing easy. The dining options are good, although slightly expensive. Overall, a comfortable stay with a great location.
The hotel's location is primo, especially being across the street from the beautiful Halifax Public Gardens, making it a great spot to relax after a day of travel. The rooms were large with good quality linens and hardwood floors but suffered from noisy fans in the bathrooms. The service was a mix of extremely rude encounters and helpful gestures, with a standout young man guiding us through the ballroom suite. The dining experience ranged from pretty epic to meh, with varying price ranges. Overall, a convenient location with some noise disruptions in the rooms and mixed service.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience for me. While the rooms were exceptional in comfort and relaxation, they lacked excitement with limited seating options and no nice views. The service, however, was top-notch with incredibly friendly and informative staff. The location was almost perfect, with attractions like the public garden across the street and easy access to various points of interest. Dining options were good but a bit pricey. Overall, a comfortable stay with some minor drawbacks.
