The lobby is beautiful. The room was nice but the door to the bathroom was so narrow (picture a closet door) you almost need to turn sideways to go in and out. The breaker blew in the bathroom after using the hotel provided hair dryer for three minutes - nothing else plugged in at the time.

Service was good. Had a junior suite and it is very dated and run down. Bed was not comfortable at all. Noisy due to pool elevator. Bathroom was so tiny for such a huge suite. Room just seemed to be poorly laid out

Had a double bed instead of a queen bed. Bathroom door would get stuck each time it was closed locking yourself in. They don’t notify you parking is a daily rate of $23. When you check in it just says parking is $23 but not per day.

Lovely hotel
This is a wonderful hotel. Staff is great, hotel is lovely. The only reason we didn't give it a 5 is because the rooms need to be renovated. The sink and bathroom tile were cracked and the carpet and bedding need an upgrade.

Hotel was very nice at the end of the Halifax waterfront. Staff were very courteous. Our room was a little bit small in an awkward corner, but that would be my only critique.
