8/10 Good
"Renovations were underway which affected the appearance of the hotel but it’s good to see attention given to keeping the place updated. The breakfast was well stocked but the food choices were limited. Margarine instead of butter for toast and bagels was disappointing and there was no cream cheese for the bagels. Cutting costs during this time of rapidly rising prices is understandable but small things make a big difference. The room was spacious and comfortable. Bathroom fixtures are a little past their best before date. The sink had cracks which are havens for germs and bacteria to grow and therefore very unhealthy. The transfer service to the airport is excellent and we appreciate having that service available. Thank you."

It is just over the MacDonald bridge and a convenient and good-value alternative to staying in downtown Halifax. Parking was included. It is located in a nice residential area and one block away is a good view of the Halifax skyline. I would definitely stay again."
