Nice quiet neighborhood, 10 min bus ride from downtown, simple room with everything needed for a good night sleep. The fan helped to keep the air cool. Staff was helpful and very courteous. Thanks!

Overall it was good value and accommodations and facilities were clean. I was in a room in the basement where it was cooler but it had a number of spiders and the mini fridge was making a lot of noise. I took care of both issues on my own but noted them to the front desk on checkout (if I mentioned it to them ahead of time I am confident they would have dealt with promptly as front desk service was good).

Staff was very helpful. Facilities are rather outdated. No air conditioning (they lent us fans). Beds/mattresses were hard. Parking is 18$/day between 8 am and 4 pm.

The room was good except for no a/c and no fans. It was very hot outside 31°C and opening the window didn't help, no wind either. The heater was also going in the lobby of the building I stayed in for some reason. But besides this, the location is convenient for bus route down to the wharf. Front staff was nice.

Disliked: Amenities
For a residence the rooms are spacious and comfortable. However, that was about it. This was the most expensive residence we stayed in on our travels with the least to offer. It is clean, basic and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. If you had a vehicle it would be more convenient. We did not have our own bathroom and there was no dining service. I’d probably spend the extra $20 for a hotel in Halifax next time.

Ok, but not for comfort
It was good to have a place like that to pass the night. It’s not for comfort. But for a short time, it’s ok.
