Found an empty baby feeding container in the room on arrival (breast milk alternative product, plastic). Front desk staff only apologized. Renovations were going on but there was no sound annoyance. Exercise room was closed but people were using the pool.

We had a king room that had a sitting area and a wetbar style counter. The room was large and allowed lots of room to spread out and enjoy the space. It was clean and comfortable. The decorations were mildly dated but it was a nice space. The pool was large, clean and had great hours.

The room itself was okay, quite clean except for a couple chocolate bar wrappers beside the dresser and a few areas of the rug that you can tell haven’t been vacuumed in years. The bed was very comfortable. The shower was HORRENDOUS. Zero pressure. We had to stick our heads under the tap to rinse shampoo and conditioner off. The free “hot” breakfast was actually laughable. There was no-name brand cereal, some yogurt, some frozen waffles, rock-hard bagels, and bread for toasting. That’s it. The juice dispenser had four buttons (two for orange juice, two for apple) and when you pressed one of the buttons, water would pour out of all the spouts at once until you could figure out how to shut it off, so the counter and floor was a mess! There were no spoons or knives or plates left when the rush started coming, and no staff to be found, so people were buttering their toast with a stir stick, and eating their yogurt with a fork. The one garbage bin was overflowed onto the floor, and the area where you put your dirty dishes was full, so people had to leave their dishes on the floor or on tables.

This hotel is very old, the rooms are spacious and well laid out but some updates need to be made, I know we stayed in a renovated room last year and it was nicer than the room we stayed in this time. The hair dryer in our room was broken (and dangerous) but the care taken by the staff was appreciated and If they can get all the spaces updated I'm certain this will continue to be a great hotel.

When I arrived I was informed my reservation had been cancelled. When I told the desk attendant I did not call to cancel my reservation she laughed at me and called me a liar. I assured her that I was not lying. After further questioning, she revealed it was a female who called to cancel. I am a man and the reservation was under my name. The staff continued to call me a liar and offer no resolution. When I asked if I could book another room, she said they had availability and booked me a room. She would not honor the room style or price point of my previous reservation that was “cancelled”. Overall I found the hotel staff to be extremely rude and not helpful in the slightest. This is a minor issue that could have been very easily resolved if they had a half competent employee at their desk. Terrible service and impression to leave with guests as their primary interaction.

This hotel was affordable, and it was about a ten (10) to fifteen (15) minute drive to get into Downtown Halifax. This hotel was also just under one (1) hour of a drive to arrive at Peggy’s Cove. Highway-102 and Highway-103 were very close by to this hotel. Many restaurants were located close by to this hotel. This hotel possessed a large parking lot. The staff members were friendly, helpful, and very diverse. There was free wifi at this hotel. There was a pool at this hotel, and I did some laps in it. This pool was a tad bit chilly, and much of the pool was very shallow. Unfortunately, the gym was closed due to some renovations. I was told that there was going to be no room service, but my room was actually serviced by the staff. My room was spacious, and the bed was comfortable. My room had a desk, several chairs, a television, heat, and air-conditioning. The shower had plenty of hot water. I had some loud guests next to me during my initial night at this hotel, so I cranked up the air-conditioning to overcome their commotion. This hotel did allow guests to borrow movies and boardgames, but I did not view or use any of them. The breakfast had good juices, water, English muffins, toasts, bagels, waffles, pancakes, bananas, and apples. I would have preferred some breakfast pastries, as well, like muffins. Perhaps, this hotel should have a cold water machine in the lobby right where the machines for the coffee and the tea are located.
