The rooms are beautiful. A bit pricey compared to most hotels. But it was a lovely stay all around aside from price point.

10/10 Exceptional! (2 reviews)

The home was clean and well maintained. There are great views of the northwest arm and entrance to Halifax harbor from most of the rooms, including pool and hot tub. The interior decorating is cool including many wood features. Dan the property manager was responsive and provided good instructions on using the smart home features. We thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to Halifax and this property.

8.2/10 Very Good! (3,654 reviews)

Hotel Halifax is in the heart of the action. With direct access to a mall and food court, convenience is at your finger tips. There is also no shortage of restaurants in any direction. While the hotel itself could use some upgraded carpet, the beds and pillows are very comfortable. The gym, sauna and pool are great amenities for those who like to keep up with their physical fitness while on vacation. Check out the lobby bar/restaurant for great conversation with Andy the bartender and some tasty food and happy hour. This is our fourth stay at this property.
