The rooms themselves were clean, small, but clean. Area was very nice. No TV- did not know that in advance. Main issue- constant door slamming and heavy items being dragged and dropped. The whole floor was shaking from 9 pm till after midnight both nights. I think the place also has apartments for rent- and think what we heard was someone moving in or out.

The rooms are extremely noisy. The TV didn’t work. Light switches didn’t work. I’m pretty sure somebody upstairs was filming porn all night long. Never got any sleep because of the constant screaming and slamming of furniture until 5 o’clock in the morning. We’ll never stay there again.

The location was great. It's in north end of Halifax, and it's close to everything - bars, pubs, cafes and restaurants. However, as other reviewers said, the wall is extremely thin and it's not so comfortable to find peace in the room. You hear the door slamming every time other guests come back, hear they talk as there are pretty big gap at the bottom of the door. It's a good option if you're looking for something close to downtown on a budget. But if you look for restful night, this is not for you.

The hotel is rundown, which wouldn't be bad if it was clean, but it looks like the carpets, walls, toilet, sink, etc. haven't been cleaned in years. The AC was dirty too and so loud, I couldn't sleep all night. I would never stay at this hotel again.

Price was right but you get what you pay for I guess. Convenient location. Lots of nice small eateries near by. No customer service or house keeping. No parking except on street at night and the night I arrived was street cleaning night so I wound up paying fine and staff didn't even mention it. Building was noisy, and bed not attached to wall kept on moving everytime I sat on the edge. Not what it use to be, I think new owners and they are cutting way back with our dropping their $$$.

I liked that it was on a quite street near downtown and many cute coffee places around. I didn't like that they didn't have coffee in the room, no hairdryer, mold around the shower door and a large leak stain with cracked plaster right above the bed. also the blinds are not opaque. no parking no elevator

Good enough

Good location - 5min walk from Halifax Commons and 20min walk from downtown, next to the Brown Hound Pub. TV but no cable, AC loud, the duvet smelled musty and the bathroom was clean-ish. Staff were very nice. Good enough if all you need is a place to sleep.

This was the worst stay i have ever had! There is no parking so you have to move your car every hour between 8-6 or get a parking ticket. There was pubic hair in the shower.There was no hot water.There was no cable.There was garbage in the garbage bin.From the previous renter, the dust was so thick I wrote my name in it there's no cable. This place is not fit to even still be open! Save your money and rent else where.
