    The lack of adequate parking at the hotel. From what I could discern it was like “first 20 people get ice cream sundaes everyone else gets yellow jello.” C’mon, this is the 21st century. A city central site without adequate guest parking….?

    The room was more than adequate for two people. Good location.

    No parking available when we got to the hotel. The desk clerk did not offer any solution and told us that we were on our own regarding parking. We ended up paying an extra 50 dollars in a private parking lot close to the hotel.

    Good location in the Downtown area, clean and comfortable room

    Still a little pricey. Proximity to loud bars was not great with the music and drunks around at night.

    Good location for walking around even over to pier 21 and farmers market. The breakfast was great and the staff were so lovely serving and cleaning up.

    The noise on the weekends is crazy. I bought 3 sound machines for our family’s stay which helped. Monday to Friday is relatively quiet but expect a serious party vibe Friday to Sunday. On the other hand, the location is excellent as we could walk to fantastic restaurants, museums, the waterfront and the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia.

    The breakfast was good- hot or cold choices. The staff are wonderful.

    The gym could use a face lift / maybe new carpets and the rooms close to the bars definitely need sound proofing. It is very loud until 4am so earplugs should also be left in the rooms for guests

    Very central, clean and well maintained

    I am still waiting for a response from either the property or Booking.com regarding my early checkout. A family emergency came up and I checked out Nov 10 at 3:30, rather than on Nov 11th. I am fine if I have to pay the full amount, as it was very late to clean and reset the room, but I would like some form of review, or acknowledgement of receipt of my message regarding the same. other notes- no kettle in the room. -the breakfast area is challenging to navigate when it is busy.

    I have stayed at this property multiple times, the staff is fantastic, the breakfast always has great options.

    The pubs. People need to use earplugs or try to get a suite on the Grafton Street side of the hotel.

    Good location, except there is a block full of pubs there and it is loud until 3AM Friday and Saturday nights. The breakfast is good, the front desk people are pleasant. The room is big.

    Disappointing stay in central Halifax hotel

    We had issues with a number of things in our room which were mentioned to the staff. Some could be repaired and some (a very noisy refrigerator) could not causing us to have restless sleep. The room we had was much smaller than the same room we booked last time and we found it very crowded. We asked to be moved but were told the hotel was overbooked. The breakfast room was so full you could often not find a place to sit and the containers with food were often empty.

    The hotel staff including front desk and maintenance were good to deal with. The location is great as it is very central and easy to walk to the main attractions and restaurants.
