Guest reviews for Halifax Marriott Harbourfront Hotel
Lovely and pleasing
Cons:
Only change I would make was a free continental breakfast with a night's stay
Location:
There are many things to do within walking distance: Public Gardens, boardwalk with lots of shops and food, Maritime Museum. Even found a yarn shop.
My husband and I stayed three nights. We used the pool, which was at a good temperature, and the hot tub, which was hotter than any I have been in, so a ten-minute soak was out of the question.
Food at restaurant was good, presented artistically but not over priced. Vegetarian options, too. Fitness center had more than the basics on machines.

Middle of tons of tourist attractions
Overall nice stay. Center of Boardwalk features with those pros and cons. Food in the area was awful but that seems to be typical here. Got worst recommendation of a restaurant for absolutely worst meal of our lives. Stay away from Murphys Restaurant.

Nice hotel in the center of the harbourfront.
Pros:
Staff, location and quality.
Cons:
Nothing immediately comes to my mind.
Location:
On the harbour. Near a number of good restaurants and entertainment was in easy walking distance.
The staff was great! Went to a couple nearby restaurants that were very good. Nice pub near the hotel.

Thank you for the great review!
Potentially nice hotel with noise problems
Pros:
Location, comfort, room.
Cons:
Event scheduling, soundproofing, transparent communication
Location:
Right on the harborwalk, close to historic sights and good shopping
We stayed two nights in a room on the second floor overlooking the boardwalk. An ideal location, a comfortable room, nice pool and exercise room - what could be better? The first night a wedding in the hotel function room kept us awake until 1:00pm. We called at 8:00pm and the staff did not want to acknowledge there was a wedding at all, but said they would they party to turn down the music. When they finally admitted they had booked a wedding, they said they expected it to end soon. I called back at 10:00pm when nothing had changed, and asked for an update. They called back to tell me that the music would continue until 1:00am, and did we want to change rooms. We decided not to move in the middle of the night. The next night we again were kept awake, but it wasn't the hotel's fault; the bar outside our window had loud live music.

Bait and Switch
This property is not worthy of the Marriott name.
I checked in on a special deal of $ per night, US for six nights. The hotel is adequate, but not luxurious by any means. When work required that I extend my stay, I asked if I could book five more days at the same rate. The desk clerk assured me I could. At check out time, they had bumped the rate to $ per night-you can stay at the Delta (a truly fine hotel) for less!
The manager refused to honor the rate I'd been promised by a member of his own staff. I don't like to be lied to; that the manager wouldn't honor the rate but take it up with his staff behind closed doors is unconscionable.

Great Stay
Great location with easy access to waterfront points of interest. Parking is extra. Would recommend booking option with breakfast included; otherwise it is a bit pricey.

The little touches were missing.
A basic free continental breakfast in that we've found in most hotels was missing; no ice bucket nor a small refridgerator to keep a couple drinks cold. These are amenities we've become accustomed as we travel.
\n
\nThey boasted of the free web browser in the room (WebTV), but anything beyond basic news and weather was an extra fee.
\n
\nThere was ample closet space, but only 3 small drawers in the entertainment center for our clothes.
\n
\nWe were not thrilled with a $* a day fee to park our car in their parking garage.
\n
\nAll in all this hotel sparkled visually, but just didn't offer the comforts that we like to have when we travel. (The staff was really nice, though.)

Mariott Halifax Harbourfront
Great location on the Harbor waterfront. Very friendly, courteous staff. Standard rooms just OK - no fridge or microwave. Already over-priced hotel charges $* Extra per day for high speed internet. Hotel Restaurants over priced with somewhat limited menus and mediocre food. Connecting covered walkway to the Nova Scotia Casino seems to be the really major "draw"! There is no comparison to the Raddison Suites on Hollis Street just a few blocks away at essentially the same price - or, somewhat less.

Enjoyed the Marriott
We have just returned from Nova Scotia and thoroughly enjoyed the Marriot. The beds were wonderful and loved the location. We visited the wharf and ate at Saltys 2 times. We were able to sit right on the waterfront and the food was great. We ate breakfast at the Bluenose and it was good and inexpensive. My only complaint. No freebees here! I felt 19.00 to park was expensive and 15.00 to use the internet in the room ridiculous. However the lady at the front desk let me use their internet.. We stayed three nights.
