The Hollis Halifax - A Doubletree Suites By Hilton, Halifax

Liked: We thoroughly enjoyed our room - 911 - what a great view!
Disliked: I didn't know where to park in order to register so I ended up with a $25 parking ticket within 5 minutes.

Decent Hotel

Liked: Very comfortable room and a great location.
Disliked: Hardly any space to pull up in front of the hotel. Very busy / noisy street. At $335.00 per night, I just expected a little more ?

Exceptional

Usually love Hilton Doubletree hotels...

Liked: The room was quiet and the bed was very comfortable, with nice linens. The suite was actually a nice design and had all the amenities you need. The staff was very interested in resolving issues when they were brought to their attention, they were friendly and approachable.
Disliked: This hotel needs to review its program for maintenance, the room was not properly cleaned, and the hallways were not cleaned for the 3 days we were there. The room where you were to get ice had food trays all over the floor and broken bottles. Again, this was not cleaned for the duration of our stay. The lighting in the bathroom is perhaps too "boutique", not sufficiently bright to see to shave, and the wall mirror with magnification also had a half burned light, so not much more helpful. We had to ask staff for a variety of issues that should not have cropped up (eg no hairdryer). The parking was expensive and the lot was a chaos of cars parked in different directions in a dirt lot across the nearby intersection, requiring a crazy eight of driving on one way streets to get to and from the front of the hotel. The restaurant was expensive, and we were the only patrons the evening we tried it, but they still managed to overcook my steak. Warning, they sprinkle red pepper flakes on the fries, but don't say that in their menu - surprise!

Liked: The room was large and spacious. Funky layout, and great decor. Check in was quick and easy.
Disliked: I tripped over a vacuum that was left in the middle of the hallway to our room at 10:00pm. The room smelled of cigarettes and the hair dryer was filthy.
