Hotel Location
Guest Reviews & Ratings
The hotel is ideally located for exploring the Seaport Farmers Market and Harborwalk. The rooms, while cozy and lacking windows, benefit from quality noise control measures. The service is top-notch with accommodating staff ready to assist. The dining experience, while good overall, could use some improvement in service. The location provides easy access to downtown attractions and waterfront amenities.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms made all the difference, being entirely adequate but quite pricey for the details provided. Unfortunately, they lacked soundproofing, and the small bathroom layout was not proportionate, with a space-consuming toilet. On the bright side, the service was incredible, with a fantastic team that was very hospitable, making me feel welcomed right from arrival. The location was convenient, close to shopping, beautiful views, and a central spot for exploring various dining options. The dining experience was hit and miss, offering refined dishes but sometimes being cold. Overall, the hotel provided comfortable accommodation with some minor downsides.
The hotel didn't quite meet my expectations regarding the rooms, but they were large, very clean, and offered a beautiful view of the ocean and Seaport Farmer's Market. The extra space for relaxation was a plus.
The hotel is ideally located in downtown Halifax, making it convenient for exploring the area. The rooms, although somewhat small and dated, were adequate for the stay. The service was exceptional, with friendly and accommodating staff. The dining experience was excellent, with top-notch options available. The facilities were well-maintained and added to the overall comfort of the stay.
I found the location of the hotel to be excellent, perfect for exploring the city's waterfront. However, the rooms were disappointing with minimal views and some inconvenience during check-in. On the bright side, the service was friendly and helpful.
The hotel offers a cozy stay with adequate rooms but at a high price. The service is exceptional, especially with early check-in available. The location is fantastic for business and beautiful views, though some extra charges may apply. The dining is good overall with varied choices, but some additional costs may surprise you.
