I like the Halifax Hotel and the Barrington both because if their location and price. It was clean although the hotel is a little outdated. There was a wedding the weekend we went there so the pool and overall facilities was very busy and we could hear noises from the other partying guests. Obviously, just a matter of bad timing for us. I will still go there again on my next family trip.

Booked a 3-night stay in 2 rooms and we found a bug/roach on one of the beds the second night. We called down to front desk and asked to be moved to another clean room. Front desk team/manager not only did not extend any apologies, but also was very slow to find a solution. They said the hotel was so out for the night and they can either move one of our rooms to Barrington Hotel or move the next night (cant still believe they could ask us to stay the night in the room with a bug on the bed). We then asked to be moved both rooms to Barrington that night since we stayed as a family. After nearly one hour, the manager managed to find us two rooms at Barrington Hotel and we packed our stuff and walked to the other hotel at 10pm (which was very inconvenient and hotel never initiated to assist us with luggage) Pros: good location, hotel connects to Scotia Square with skywalk to nearby areas and waterfront. Cons: rooms are quite old, smell very moist and loud AC. Customer service is not the greatest, therefore will not return here.

This hotel was perfect for being able to go to Scotia Bank Centre without even going outside. The staff was amazing and the kids absolutely loved the (warm) swimming pool. Rooms were very clean and spacious. Just loved it!

The ease of finding the hotel, parking directions, friendliness of staff and overall stay was amazing. However 2 of 3 elevators were down majority of the stay which was inconvenient at times but i cannot wait to return!!! Definitwly will recommend to friends and family!

Booked the double room with a balcony , staff were friendly with easy parking . The room was not cleaned , very old with 90s feel . Chips were under the bed with a tennis ball . Overall the lobby, parking, front staff* and location was excellent with a food court close by . The rooms and hallways were way below average. Would not recommend bringing children due to cleanliness.

My husband and I took our 3 grandchildren, 2 6 year olds and a 4 year old for the night as a treat. I can’t say how wonderful the staff were! Front desk and dinning-room staff were so kind to the kids! The pool is fabulous too. We will definitely be going there again.

We stayed here for one night and it was the first day of March Break.There was a big lineup to check in which was ok.The most frustrating thing was only one elevator was working the whole time and it was extremely busy so we had to wait a long time every time we went to the elevator.To get from the lobby to the first floor was 14 flights of stairs!,which is not very convienent with kids.There was no heads up by the staff about the elevator or the stairs let alone an apology.I get it was March Break and they were busy but it would of been nice to have a heads up.It was not acceptable in my opinion.Dont think I will stay here again.
