Hotel was good. Only complaints were that one of the sockets in the room didn't work so I had to move the microwave, the sink leaked a little when you turn the faucet on, and there’s no pigeon deterrents on the exterior of the A/C wall units so you can hear them land and coo at 4am

It says free parking, but they only have 6 parking spots for probably 8 times as many rooms; no parking is available on the streets used by neighbouring homeowners. 20-minute walk to the nearest parkade down at Scotia Square mall.

Terrible location, dumpy hotel. You shouldn’t even put this motel in your app. For someone not familiar with Halifax, I feel I was misled with the description. No coffee, no water, noisy and NO PARKING. Staff didn’t know the area or even suggest a place to park! NEVER AGAIN…turned me off Expedia
