Sketchy area, felt very unsafe and had people banging on my door in the night (they were on something, commotion in the halls). Air conditioning was on and off not working. Nobody to help with anything on site, everything is done remotely. door code that was sent was wrong on both days, the second time I was stuck outside for 30 minutes on the hottest day of the year waiting for someone to get back to me. It was clean but wouldn’t stay again.

Checkin was a bit unnerving as they have no front desk. There were a few ratings that said the area felt unsafe. We did not feel that way at all. Close to Halifax Harbour

We arrived at the property and it looked like it was deserted. The building had wooden plywood on some windows. There were people in the back parking lot looked like we disrupted a drug deal. We did not feel safe with leaving our car in the parking lot. So we phoned and canceled the reservation with sweet digs rental and went to a different hotel.

Spent 1 night at this property. The bed waa amazing and everything was clean. It was so easy to book online and extremely easy to self check in. All the communication from the staff was extremely explanatory and so simple to follow. Definitely rate this place a 5 star. Centrally located to access places in dartmouth and the halifax bridges. Will stay here again for sure. 2 thumbs up.

The room that I had was spacious. Peer who manages the building communicates well and offered kindly if I need anything else. The Darmouth area is very close to downtown Halifax like 7 to 10 minutes and easy access to highways if you travel via vehicle.

Windows smashed out of the side of the building made the property looks sketchy, broken beer bottles in the parking lot. Sheers in windows of the room so couldn’t block out light. Room was fine, bed uncomfortable.
