Great location & good price--felt safe. The view out our window included a dilapidated building next door and a graveyard. The property condition was good, but minor adjustments would be great...the toilet overflowed, the sprung mouse trap under the bed was weird, and it was difficult to find an outlet to charge our phones. Reserve a spot to park if you plan to come and go during the day...otherwise the public parking across the street works well. Breakfast was continental.

Room is small, property could use some updating. Staff were friendly. Poor layout in the bathroom made it awkward to use the sink. Shelf over toilet so toiletries can tumble into the toilet. Carpet was old/worn and didn’t appear clean.

Excellent location for us and we were able to just leave our car and walk to everywhere we needed to be. We were even able to walk downtown to the waterfront to see the sights. The surrounding neighbourhood seemed very safe at night. The Inn was very clean and the continental breakfast was well laid out. A warm, comfortable environment overall. This property does not have an elevator so we had to carry our luggage up and down 2 flights of stairs. Being 80ish, this was not so easy. Staff did offer help if we needed it. Our towels had seen better days, and we would have liked to have had extra towels in the room when we arrived. A second towel rack would certainly help keep things organized in the bathroom. The Inn’s website did not say that there was a mini fridge in the room. We were surprised to find one!

Decent place to stay. A lot of the charm of an older house has been lost. The room was clean, except the bathroom floor wasn't to the same standard. The staff were excellent and very helpful.

Staff was great. I had no heat in my room so it ruined the whole experience. I was given a small deduction for the big inconvenience as a sleepless night has long repercussions for one coming to work. Panels of wardrobe doors were missing, I was in the basement with stained chairs and could hear every single breath of the people above me as well. I was said that it is hard for them to find someone for repair and that it smelled weed in my room as all smokers, including me, smoke outside in the parking lot close to the walls to protect themselves from the cold wind which is where my windows were at tire level. Around my windows were lots of buds...and my windows were opened until I realized they were in the wee hours of the night. Location is great and the staff is great. I guess it was a whole series of coincidences that made the experience very poor and being unable to have a night of sleep due to the cold and heating not being activated in my room.

The owner and staff were so kind and each room is decorated in a really cute and cozy way. I felt like I was transported back to the 1800s with the homemade quilt vibe next door to a Catholic cemetery dating back to 1843 was incredible - plus being across the street from the Public Gardens and next door to a delicious French Bistro by Liz AND the most amazing Happy Veal Hot Pot - and I only walked 1 km from my bus stop! (Maritime Bus) Perfect way to enjoy Halifax.

Pros: - free parking - walking distance to everything - breakfast included (which we did not take advantage of) - cheaper than other options. You get what you pay for I guess. Cons: - The room was 24.5 degrees. That’s way too hot. AC does not work as there was no remote nor buttons on the actual unit itself and the temperature adjuster on the wall did not move the temp up or down. We did not complain cause it was only for 1 night. And we just opened the window, but it quickly got too cold and had to shut it. - The carpet in the room is gross. - The view outside of our window was a graveyard. - The shower partially worked. The large top shower head kept dripping cold water, so I had to stand very close to the normal shower head to avoid to cold drips of water. - The beds aren’t very good, but it’s fine for a night. I could not do a week on them that’s for sure. Overall, do I recommend? No. I will not go back. It was a mediocre experience at best. The biggest disappointment was temp in the room being completely unacceptable.

The area was good relatively close to most things, the staff was very nice and friendly, the room was not in a great condition. One issue was that everytime someone opened/closed the doors in the main hallway, our whole back wall was shaking, and so was a metal decoration that was on top of the bed, one morning I woke up over 5 times because of this. Plus most of the items in the property were in a very old condition, of course we expected this because it is part of the whole experience but there were burn marks, tapes, rust and wobbly tables. Also, the place wasn’t as clean as we through it would be. The sheets had some hair on them, and marks from rust or blood(?) that had stayed after being washed. The bathroom had hair stuck on the door (from someone using the hairdryer). The shower, toilet and bathtub were reasonably cleaned and everything was stocked. I think that a little bit more effort to keep the spaces more clean and repaired would go a long way and would add to the overall experience of this otherwise great place! Thanks for having us:)
