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 The facilities are outdated, filthy, and poorly maintained.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.
