Exceptional

Liked: We had a great stay at this hotel. Late check-in at 3am was no Problem and the staff was very friendly. It's a top line hotel and the very best we know so far in Halifax. Due to Jetlag we did not try the breakfast. The location is fantastic and we enjoyed our stroll through the city center. Would recommend the hotel 100%, we'll be back.

Liked: Every staff member I met was excellent and ready to help. The big redeeming factor. The location is another major redeeming factor, convenient to many restaurants and right downtown.
Disliked: The flatscreen tv in my room was installed flat on the wall, with the bed several feet over... So watching any tv was at an awkward sidewards distorted angle... Unless you wanted to sit on the toilet to watch tv. My room door did not lock, a serious issue for me, luckily quickly solved by excellent maintenance staff. Still a hassle. The lock for the bathroom door was loose, so I didn't even attempt to close the bathroom door. The room I had was a petite double, so I fully knew it would be a smaller room... I have to admit that even with that in mind the toilet offered very limited space from the wall. I am not big, but I could not sit on the toilet without my arm being against the wall. Having done far too many renovations in old buildings myself, the space for the toilet would not meet today's codes. (Less than 12" from the centre of toilet to the wall). Check-in was slow because it took about ten minutes before they got confirmed my room was ready... At 5.30pm for check in I would have expected that not be an issue. The parking is great and comfortable, but finding your way back to your car is not easy. A staff member had to walk us there... Between a complete lack of signage and work ongoing in the hallway leading to the garage, we would not have found it. Our parking pass would not work on the way out, so we had to call for assistance to be able to get out. All of these were small hassles, staff made up for a lot, but it just left us that bit underwhelmed.
