Residence Inn by Marriott Halifax Dartmouth

Comfortable hotel

Liked: Comfy bed and pillows. Spacious room and bathroom. Kitchen equipped for use but we didn't cook, large fridge/freezer. Plenty of parking. Quiet air con. Pool available (didn't use it). Close to plenty of restaurants. Extra coffee supplies on request.
Disliked: Sofa far too low for comfort. No nightlight/low light option for bathroom which was very dark at night. Dishwasher didn't work so had to hand wash after running it. Breakfast scrum meant we went out 2/4 mornings rather than compete plus food offerings were pretty limited especially fruit/healthy wise. Woken by housekeeping at 8am on a Sunday despite having Do Not Disturb hanging on door! Only 2 lifts for large hotel often meant long waits. Other guests using pool then trailing water right into lifts.

Exceptional

Convenient location. Decent room size....

Liked: Convenient location with lots of stores and restaurants. Easy free parking. Decent room size with kitchen. Beds are comfy except for the sofa bed. Nice size of the pool with water slide and hot tub. Breakfast was ok as it included in the room price but it has limited choices. Breakfast staff are very helpful and hardworking.
Disliked: Housekeeping didn’t load the dirty dishes into the dishwasher in our room. Called to the front desk and they said we had to do it ourselves as they didn’t know how we would like the dirty dishes to be cleaned. Other Marriott hotel group did put the dirty dishes into the dishwasher when they cleaned our room. A little disappointed with the cleaning service.

Good

Liked: Location
Disliked: Cleanliness - general cleanliness was just fair. You can tell things have been neglected over time. Corners of floors were black from build up, grout in showers dirty, and carpets portion was absolutely filthy. Staff - efficient but not friendly to greet and not a welcoming entrance upon arrival. All and all would stay here again but expected more from a Marriott chain.

Superb

Liked: It was perfect for what we were using it for. Should have taken my husband's military ID to reduce rate in my opinion.
Disliked: Not taking my husband's veteran's card to reduce rate. Breakfast today wasn't great.
