Jetted tub was dirty and jets need to be cleaned as gunk came out of them while I was in the tub. Room was dusty. Over night front desk guy saved my life with a glass of milk delivered to my door in the middle of the night to help with awful heart burn. Amazing service thank you

It is very convenient for the Saturday morning farmers' market, the rail station, Spring Garden and the harbour boardwalk. Indeed, most of Halifax downtown is within walking distance but watch those hills.

The staff was very helpful and the room was great -- they had upgraded us before we even got there! I can't think of a single thing to complain about. The restaurant was expensive, but we did like the half-price appetizers for happy hour. I'll definitely stay there again.
