I liked the convenience of walking to the Halifax wharf and the shops and restaurants there. The area was quiet, making it easy to sleep. I had a leak from a ceiling vent during my last night there. The housekeeping staff did not meet expectations. On one occasion they forgot to place fresh fruit in my room. On another, I ran out of tissues but a new box was not provided. Even when I put the empty box on the bed, the staff took the empty box but didn't provide a new one! Finally, I just took a new box out of the housekeeping cupboard. But these relatively small issues didn't detract from a good stay.

Charming B&B with Excellent Customer Service

Our stay at the Garden South Park Inn was excellent, due largely to the wonderful customer service! Every staff member was incredibly kind and helpful with wonderful recommendations and friendly conversation. The room was absolutely beautiful and the bed was incredibly comfortable. We found the location to be excellent as well. We took an Uber to the waterfront for under $10 CAD and also walked to Stillwell Beer Garden one evening. Breakfast was described as continental but I’d say it was more like ’continental plus’ because, beyond lovely muffins, bagels, toast, and cereals, they offered hard boiled eggs, deli meats, cheese and crackers, yogurt and fruit. The coffee was also delicious. One note is that parking is an extra charge and not guaranteed, so one night we parked on the street for under $10 CAD and the second night we parked in the lot for $15 CAD. (Yes, this was more but we didn’t have to be concerned about adding more money to the app or moving the car at a certain time.) Overall, an excellent stay in Halifax at the Garden South Park Inn! We would definitely recommend it.

Great location, very friendly staff at check in. I'm leaving early in the morning, before breakfast, and staff dropped off a breakfast to-go bag for me. My room is right at the front of the building, so it's a bit noisy with the front door, but that's to be expected with an older building like this. It's nice to stay in a place with some individual charm instead of a generic hotel room.

Not so great.

Not great. When we checked in they had given our room away to someone else. A cot was offered but we paid for 2 queen bed’s. Receptionist couldn’t get a hold of her manager so we had to wait to see if there even was an extra room. The girl even checked my license and gave me a paper with a man’s name on it to sign. We did end up getting a separate room no charge but it was quite a hassle. Also, nowhere did it say that you have to park on the street or in the hospital parking lot across the street so we were charged for parking out back.

We booked several months ahead, but they gave us a crappy basement room (102) with a small ground level window looking directly at bottom of neighbor's fence, 5 feet away. Bathroom vent not working. Smoke detector went off twice because of humidity. Staff said vent fan has never been hooked up. Paint bulging on bathroom ceiling because of humidity. Black mold growing in spots of bathroom ceiling. Told staff, but no action taken, to even clean away the mold after I told them it is toxic. "Dust bunnies" floating around under the bed. And finally, they tried to charge me for parking on check-out, even though I did not ever park on the property. I definitely WOULD NOT stay here again!!

The staff were great! Very lowkey little inn. Very clean, and I appreciated that they cleaned and changed towels every day! I didn't love that my room was right beside the front desk, so I hear when people go there, but thankfully most people were relatively quiet. Also, my room's window wasn't too far off from the ground and it backed into an driveway/alleyway so as a woman who was there alone I didn't love that too much (felt a bit unsafe). Good place to go to for a decent price, but don't expect anything "luxurious."

I love this property because it’s an old fashioned Inn. Some of the carpet is worn and the tick chairs too, but it has that old world charm with old jazz in the background. The price is very reasonable. This is an older hotel so you won’t be paying a high price for a spiffy hotel but this old house has lots of charm. At breakfast, I see riders, professors, for the seniors discount I will definitely be returning to this gem.
