A fun little pub right next-door, a great deli right across the street and a great coffee shop just up the street a block we’re all great. We walked to the citadel and then downtown so very convenient for the downtown Halifax sightseeing.

I liked that it was on a quite street near downtown and many cute coffee places around. I didn't like that they didn't have coffee in the room, no hairdryer, mold around the shower door and a large leak stain with cracked plaster right above the bed. also the blinds are not opaque. no parking no elevator

Hotel was good. Only complaints were that one of the sockets in the room didn't work so I had to move the microwave, the sink leaked a little when you turn the faucet on, and there’s no pigeon deterrents on the exterior of the A/C wall units so you can hear them land and coo at 4am

Price was right but you get what you pay for I guess. Convenient location. Lots of nice small eateries near by. No customer service or house keeping. No parking except on street at night and the night I arrived was street cleaning night so I wound up paying fine and staff didn't even mention it. Building was noisy, and bed not attached to wall kept on moving everytime I sat on the edge. Not what it use to be, I think new owners and they are cutting way back with our dropping their $$$.

Our room was disgusting. You could feel the dirt on your feet when walking in the room, our bathtub was full of mold. There was dust, dirt, grime and hair everywhere. The a/c buttons were broken & wall outlets were hanging from the lamp cords however the front desk staff were very friendly & it was a convenient location as we were staying to attend a concert @ garrison grounds. The location was also near lots of good food!
