Future Inns Halifax

10/10 Excellent

"We really appreciate and were relieved at how clean and well maintained this property was. We considered it to be a good price for the quality and location. We stayed in a number of other Inns over the previous two weeks travelling around NS and PEI, all were more expensive than this and poorly maintained/cleanliness issues. Noting we did not eat at the onsite restaurant."
