⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great Value & Much Needed! Really impressed! Great value with lots of amenities — the pool and games room were awesome perks. The bathroom looked newly renovated and very clean. For the price, you absolutely can’t beat this in Halifax — other hotels charge way too much for less. This is perfect for a middle-class traveler and a much-needed option in the city. Highly recommend!

Last night was a horrible experience in the pub! Management was unapologetic about the situation, one sided and hung up the phone in my wife’s ear when she tried to explain what happened.I am sorry I didn’t record the conflict. Food is overpriced and poor. Breakfast was great!
