Upon entering the room it was about 40°C. The front desk worker explained that every room is the same temperature and that it couldn't be changed unless we turned the heat off completely. After requesting the issue be looked at, a friendly maintenance worker did indeed find a problem. Unfortunately, we woke up to a dirty moldy bathroom that we had not noticed when checking in.

Great hotel for business or vacation, the breakfast is kind of mid, but the location is simply amazing and I would definitely recommend it for families of all kinds!

Front desk staff were unhelpful and came across as rude. A complimentary cookie doesn’t make up for poor customer service. The parking situation was extremely frustrating, there was no guidance provided, and the suggested “solutions” were ineffective. Guests are left driving in circles with no clear direction or resolution.

Great hotel right in downtown Halifax. The pier is literally 5 minutes away, right next to the Evergreen festival if you come in December. The staff is helpful and friendly. I had a mishap as I forgot my work phone in the room upon checkout. Front desk called me but I was already on my way to catch a flight and could not turn back. They graciously offered to ship it to my home address (had to pay for it, of course, but it was my mistake in the first place). The rooms are spacious and very well kept. Comfortable beds, nice view of the docks. If you come to Halifax, this is the pace to stay!

Fantastic location to visit Halifax. Staff was very friendly and helpful at check-in. The hotel restaurant had a great breakfast. Very clean and spacious rooms. We had a studio suite with a king bed. Would definitely stay here again if we come back to Halifax.
