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.

Very old building. Lots of noise from the street (sirens) easily heard. Sounds of someone running up/down the hallway during the night. Only tv services is via google chromecast. Couldn’t get ours to connect (yes we have done it before so we knew what to do). Bathrooms old and need renovation. Old furniture and not very comfortable beds. 2 half size pillows per bed. Musty old smell throughout. All stairs so if you a mobile impaired it’s not a good choice. Overall I didn’t realize it was listed as 2star and it definitely shows.

Our room was disgusting. You could feel the dirt on your feet when walking in the room, our bathtub was full of mold. There was dust, dirt, grime and hair everywhere. The a/c buttons were broken & wall outlets were hanging from the lamp cords however the front desk staff were very friendly & it was a convenient location as we were staying to attend a concert @ garrison grounds. The location was also near lots of good food!

Bad neighbourhood but

The motel is quite rundown but it was clean enough and quiet. The location is close to restaurants and other commercial establishments but you have to be aware of your surroundings. Lots of street people in this area and we were assaulted a block away. This is not the motel’s fault, of course. It’s just a sketchy area.

Good spot in North end.

Room was small but clean, bed was comfy. Staff were friendly and helpful with our bags. You can hear most things in the hallway. Cons: no elevator and no public bathroom. Location was superb. Hot spot for locals. Food and drinks all within wallking distance. Quiet neighborbood and felt safe. Coming from Vancouver BC... felt like commercial drive. Would stay again and i would recommend folks to check out. Every local we ran into said "thats a good area".

Hotel was old and dirty - pee around the toilet and mould in showers. Old clunking air conditioner so loud couldn’t sleep, water damage on windows and orange 1970 blinds shower leaked water out around toilet - worst place I ever stayed in my life . Supposed to have a queen bed but was only a double. Pillow was flat and comforter was old cheap kids comforter - so bad - never again. Also no elevators and dragged suitcases up 4 flights of stairs with no assistance offered and no maid service - had to put our garbage outside the door and request towels at the front desk. Drunk homeless people sleeping outside the hotel shouting all night

Nice staff, but disgusting accommodation. The painting of the Victorian girl on the 3rd floor was creepy. Seems like the building is haunted. Mould and mildew in the showers, toilets lol dented, towels had hair strands on them. Old fashioned loud air conditioner. Can hear all the creaking of the building as people walking around. Dirty old furniture. Horrible place. Will never stay there again. It was a mistake, I didn’t think it would be that horrendous.

Im not sure what the one star reviews were talking about onkine but this property has lots of great things going for it! Its basic but linen was spotless and the room was pretty clean (maybe a dust over needed on unused areas). Staff were great and they held our luggage after check out. There is no elevator so be orepared to drag bags up stairs and there is no wheelchair accessibility. The location is fantastic, walkable to downtown with many cafes, restaurants and pubs in both directions that truly impressed. Try The Brown Hound next door for kid friendly, superb fries and Lukes across the road for breakfast! 15-20 min walk to the wharf was great! Would recommend for anyone seeking simple accommodation, not fussed about new paint jobs and wanting location!
