Convenient enclosed short walk to and from VIA Rail station, and nice having Herz Rental Car in the basement. Unfortunately, it is a long walk from the elevator to the accessible room, but the room was very nice, and the walk -in shower was the best.

Our room was comfortable and the room ventilation system was well above average. The bed was also very comfortable. The hotel was quiet and the staff were friendly. However, the bathroom was not that clean. The faucet had moist brown crud all around the base.

Awesome hotel. Just wonderimg about the toilet in our bathroom. I have never seen such a short toilet. It was shorter than my standard height toilet at home. We were wondering where to hang our bath towels in the bathroom. There was only one hook on the wall. Usually there are towel bars to hang your towel. The only other thing is that the room could use another place to sit other than the desk chair and your bed.

Staff were profession but not really friendly. They sent me a text message that I was upgraded but then told me at the desk that it was a mistake. The hotel as practically empty - they could have given me the upgrade to make up for the mistake. The woman at the desk was pretty indifferent. I expect more from maritime hospitality standards in Halifax. The room smelt like 20-year old cigarette smoke. Opened the window and aired it out. Time to take up the very old carpets in the old section of the hotel.
