Convenient location to the Halifax harbour waterfront shops & restaurants. Staff were super responsive. We had asked for a rollaway bed annd it wasn’t in our room upon anrrival but a quick call to the front desk and they had one in our room within 10 minutes. Our air conditioning unit broke and they sent maintenance up to replace the whole unit within a half an hour. Staff were super! Location was great! Rooftop patio was lovely.

We booked what was supposed to be an upgraded room with deck 5 months ahead, in March for a July 29 to August 5 stay. We were literally given the WORST room in the entire hotel, which completely DID NOT match the room description and PICTURES. The deck picture was of a suite on the 8th (top) floor while our deck was at STREET level with PEDESTRIANS walking by our deck and windows the ENTIRE TIME. THIS IS FALSE ADVERTISING. There is NO OTHER room at this street level facing street in the ENTIRE HOTEL. And this was a MORE EXPENSIVE ROOM than most. After complaining to the management, we received a correct room on our third day. EXTREMELY UNHAPPY WITH THE FALSE ADVERTISING ON EXPEDIA OF THIS ROOM. Booking that far IN ADVANCE to receive this complete CRAP room and having to move rooms after having to COMPLAIN about being RIPPED OFF is ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE. I rarely use caps in any online reviews. If you think I'm aggravated, you should see how my wife feels.
