I’d come back for sure.
Contrary to many other reviews, I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised here. Clean room, friendly front desk clerk. Neighbourhood is a little questionable however, I felt safe. Parking was a little tough to find though. Two minute walk at most. Stayed for two nights. Good pizza place around the corner.

For $240 per night, one might expect a working TV and perhaps a coffee percolator in the room. This place has all the charm of a Hostel, lots of druggies on this street, dirty halls and even single ply toilet paper to boot. The bed literally was 16” above the floor level. Slamming doors kept us awake both nights and early mornings. And they have to physically check your room out when you are checking out with a $200 hold on your credit card. Hard to believe they actually are allowed to advertise on hotel apps. Not worthy of a 2 star rating. Never again at this place.

Commons in
We booked accidentally on the Hotels.com and then customer service tried to help us get it fixed but the commons in were very rude and would not cancel it, as we were being charged we decided we mis well go, we read the reviews and were very nervous upon arriving. We could not find parking it is a very sketchy place and when we did find a spot we were blocked in by many cars and had a hard time getting out. The service was poor and were lectured on rules when checking in harshly which made us feel unwelcomed the halls and stair wells stink like must and a foul odor. The room is extremely small and dirty the furniture is in rough shape and the bed was awful. We also felt unsafe completely. Walls paper thin, and house keeping vacuuming at 8 this morning up until 10. Overall disgusting we didn’t even sleep in the covers.

We spent two nights there. The hotel is in the downtown area of Halifax- very close to everything. There was construction going on, however, and there was no parking available. Parking on the streets proved to be a bit tricky. The TV was practically not working as a TV and we were not able to connect it to internet either. Otherwise, the room was clean and the staff was very helpful and friendly

The photo of the room is a bit misleading. The room was dusty but otherwise clean. The air-conditioner which was 2 feet from the bed was noisy but if you didn't have it on it was way too hot...would i stay there again no but i think with some upgrades it could be good

Even though the bedroom was renovated and clean the place in general was not good, very old and pricy and people at midnight making a lot of noise, it made me feel insecure I locked the door with my chair, I do not recommend unless is an emergency.
