I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The rooms were impeccably clean and up to Marriott standards, although the carpet was a bit gross. The staff were uniformly friendly and exceptionally helpful, truly caring about both the hotel and my experience as a guest. The location was superb, with easy access to the harbor front and all the nearby attractions. The dining options were good but a buffet-style breakfast could have made it even better. Overall, a great experience but with a few minor issues to consider.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were nice and cozy but felt a bit dark and dated, making me question the choice of double-sized beds. The service was excellent overall, except for a slight miscommunication from a staff member at the front desk. The location was perfect for easy access around the city, especially with the beautiful waterfront walkway nearby. The dining options were standard, nothing exceptional but decent quality. The facilities were sufficient for a comfortable stay.

The hotel is situated in an unparalleled location by the harbor, near various restaurants and the start of the waterfront walk. The rooms are on the 2nd floor, where the fitness facilities are located, but could be noisy due to a nearby pub with loud music until early hours and bright lights. The service was swift and professional overall, although some encounters were less friendly, particularly considering my Marriott status. Dining options are first-rate but slightly expensive, and the hotel offers various other services like room service, car hire, and tours. The location is fantastic for exploring the harborfront and accessing the city, with many attractions nearby.

I have mixed feelings about my stay at this hotel. The room I got initially had no view and felt old, but after a bit of back and forth, I upgraded for a small fee. The service was friendly, but there were some delays during check-in. The location was great for enjoying the waterfront activities, but the hotel might need some renovation. The dining experience was good overall, and the buffet was a highlight. Facilities were decent.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were very clean and the bed was super comfortable, plus, I had the best view of the harbor. The staff, from the friendly bartenders to the servers in the restaurant, were all very pleasant and great to deal with. However, a small hiccup was that the front desk didn't inform me that the casino had food available, which would have saved me a 2 km walk for food. The location is excellent, being directly on the Halifax Waterfront, but it did get noisy in the evenings and mornings with pub patrons and delivery vehicles. While dining options were limited within the hotel, the quality of what was available was very good. Overall, a great stay with minor inconveniences.

I truly enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious, nice, and clean, offering a comfortable stay despite looking out onto the roof of the property instead of the harbor. The service was friendly and efficient, although there was a slight miss when I wasn't informed about the casino's food options nearby. The location was superb, close to various attractions and offering easy access to the waterfront. While the dining experience was average with standard options, the overall value for money was decent.
