The Barrington Hotel
The price was right for the location, but the amenities are very dated and a bit rundown. The staff were kind and helpful.

Moxy Halifax Downtown
I had to search several floors for ice buckets as the stuff lockers on 2 different floors had none. When I did find some the plastic bags were missing. Then I had to get back in the elevator as there are only ice machines on 2 specific floors. I didn’t expect getting ice could be so difficult.

The Sutton Place Hotel Halifax
The bar was well stocked and reasonably priced. The restaurant on site was excellent with a nicely varied menu for breakfast and supper and was priced comparatively to the surrounding pubs. Most of all ALL the hotel staff were friendly, efficient and really made our stay special. A shout out to Manager ...
