Hotel looks kind of dingy from the outside. Room was very nice though. Recently updated and very clean. Comfortable. Spent a lot on Ubers going to the waterfront as traffic is terrible in Halifax! Parking wasn’t great at the hotel.

We enjoyed the pool, but, express concern about the slippery ceramic tiles around the pool. We feel this is a accident waiting to happen.

Perfect hotel for myself and 2 kids. We stayed there mid-July. Staff was nice and helpful. Loved having a window that looked out onto the lake. Loved the restaurant patio that allowed you to enjoy the lake when you had the free breakfast and/or enjoyed an evening meal. Location was very close to downtown and other areas. Thank you.
