"We stayed at this property ahead of moving our son into his university dorm. It was a perfect location, easy to get everywhere and a grocery store only a 5 minute walk. There was plenty of room to store our things and we really appreciated the covered car port. The house was very clean and the owners responsive. We would not hesitate to stay here again. My only suggestion to future guests would be to bring some sugar packets if you like it in your coffee :)"

Courtyard by Marriott Halifax Downtown

8/10 Good

"The location is central to the harbour, close to food vendors as well as 2 restaurants. The property is quite clean. Our room did not get serviced over the 4 days we were there. The staff were all friendly and quite helpful. There is a patio garden as well as the rooftop view of the harbour. This is our second stay at this hotel."

Delta Hotels by Marriott™ Halifax Downtown

8/10 Good

"The room was very modern, comfortable and clean. It was very close to the waterfront, where we spent most of our time while there. We didn't care for the barn door on the bathroom. It was a bit noisy. The flooring in the bathroom looked dirty, but I think it was just the flooring material that was used. There was sufficient (open style) closet space, but only one small drawer and only one spot to place luggage. Storage was limited for two people for a stay of a few days. There was only de-caf coffee in the beverage tray. I found this to be a theme on our NS road trip - lack of attention paid to coffee supplies. The restaurant/bar closed a bit early but the food we had was very good. Overall, we enjoyed our stay."
