The stay was horrible just horrible. The front desk staff was not polite nor pleasant. The room itself was not good. When we checked the room out we found alot of bed bugs on the floor, there was a tv but no cable hooked to it. The wifi did not work. The parking was zero it was out back and there were no room to park. The pictures on the booking are from a different hotel as they do not look anything like the hotel. Tried to explain to front desk about the bed bugs but they refused to acknowledge it. Will never stay there again

Terrible Experience - Avoid at All Costs If I could give zero stars, I would. The Commons Inn in Halifax was an absolute nightmare from start to finish. The facilities are outdated, filthy, and poorly maintained. The room smelled like mildew, the sheets were questionable at best, and the bathroom was barely functional. But the worst part of the experience was the staff, particularly a young Asian male who works there. His attitude was appalling—rude, dismissive, and completely unprofessional. He acted like guests were an inconvenience, rolling his eyes at every question and refusing to offer any sort of assistance. His hostility and arrogance were completely out of place in the hospitality industry. I’ve stayed in budget accommodations before, but this place took the cake for being downright disrespectful and disgusting. Do yourself a favor and stay literally anywhere else.

If your looking for a cheap place to sleep and not spend alot of time in the room than this place is for you. If your looking for a clean and nice room its not for you. The shower leaks water all over the floor, and theres mice in the room running around behind the dresser and mini fridge. Not what you wang to see when trying to fall asleep.

I had a terrible stay, our fridge was making lot of noise and we informed the front desk. They never offered to change our room and on top of it told us not to unplug the fridge. We couldn't sleep whole night, when i reached out to expedia customer service, they were no help as well. They told me they are 3rd party, why you guys are charging me? If you can not refund me?
