Top St. Mary's University Hotel Reviews

The Lord Nelson Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"The location is great with multiple restaurants and shops to browse. The walk to the docks was an easy 20 mins but severely uphill on the return. Lots of interesting buildings including the Nov Scotia government and multiple museums and the art gallery also easy walks. Parking was good although I needed more direction to get the card right. I would definitely stay there again."

"Great location. Easy to walk to many sights."

"Really great hotel. Newly updated, spacious, clean rooms and good amenities. Parking situation is a bit odd, but it is on-site."

Prince George Hotel

8/10 Good

"The bed was fantastic. The shower did not drain so that was annoying. It's an old hotel, overall nice but a bit pricey. Room was clean and staff was nice. Good breakfast."

The Barrington Hotel

8/10 Good

Cameo Hotel and Suites

8/10 Good

"Room was very hot. Water drained poorly from shower. Several guests we met had problems checking in although we had no problem because we checked in online early. Suite in general was very well equipped if you wanted to cook. Great location in downtown."

The Halliburton

10/10 Excellent

"Quaint hotel close to the waterfront boardwalk and plenty of restaurants. The bed was comfortable and the room was cosy. There was a nice lounge to sit in, but we didn’t have time to make use of it and it was too rainy to use any of the garden terraces but they looked like they would be a nice place to sit and enjoy a beverage in better weather. The included parking was convenient and appreciated."
