Four Points By Sheraton Halifax, Halifax

Around 8:30am, crashing and banging started on the other side of our room. This continued for about 40mins... and then a knock at the door from housekeeping to clean the room. The housekeeping utility room was right beside our room. Two issues: 1. if the utility room is required where it is, every effort should be made to limit the noise. Guests are expected to limit their noise.... 2. considering we were only staying 1 night, why would housekeeping be attempting to clean a room that hasn't been vacated yet with check-out at noon? Inefficient use of resources. Lastly, shower had peeling paint and the tap came off in my hand. vThankfully, I could put it back on to turn off the water.

Liked: Front desk employees were friendly and approachable.
Disliked: Starting around 6am, music woke us from the neighbouring room. Due to it becoming louder, around 7:30am, I called the front desk and they sent someone up and the music was lowered. All good, so I thought. Around 8:30am, crashing and banging started on the other side of our room. This continued for about 40 minutes and then a knock at the door from housekeeping to clean the room. Found out that the housekeeping utility room was right beside our room. So, I should have drove the 4 hours home with my daughter and been home by 2am and had a great sleep (still getting up by 8:30am when housekeeping starting banging).

Superb

Liked: Great location. Excellent service.
Disliked: Noise from street which the hotel can't control. Peeling paint on bathroom vanity.

Superb

Far from the relaxing and...

Liked: The bed was very comfortable. Staff were friendly and accommodating (gave us vouchers for a complimentary breakfast for room being late). Location was very convenient.
Disliked: Our room was not ready until over an hour past our book-in time. Though the room was generally clean, the outdated and worn out condition made it seem dingier than it was. The affiliated restaurant, Niche, was a disappointment. The food was sub par. I had the Thai shrimp bowl and the whole dish was wrong. The shrimp (all 4 of them...lol) were burnt and tasted very old, the VERY small portion of rice it was served on was barely luke warm and the cold diced avocado and cold diced mango served on top made the dish colder, let alone a flavor mismatch that didn't work even though the overwhelming taste of cilantro almost drowned out every other flavor. My husband had the panko breaded chicken strips....which were to say the least inedible. They were so over cooked and dry that we couldn't even chew them enough to be able to swallow them. The server was somewhat apologetic and said the manager would come out to check with us, but did not come out. We were offered the menu to pick something else but really didn't want to as we were turned off enough already. Needless to say we did not pay and left hungry. Problem was, our vouchers for a free breakfast we received (see above) were for the same restaurant. We opted to try it cause it is hard to mess up breakfast., The fact that the meal was free, and I was still hungry from no supper the night before was the only reason I managed to eat at least some of it. Again everything was so over cooked it made the meal difficult to eat.

Fabulous

Liked: The location and the staff
Disliked: The terrace being closed and unneeded noise complaints when we were probably the quietest people on our floor and we didn?t even have a speaker for our music
