We spent one night here before boarding a cruise ship, and I don't know why travelers would stay anywhere else. The hotel was attractive, located partly in a renovated downtown building, within easy walking distance to attractions and the harbor, and had a helpful staff. The room was large and well appointed. Best of all, the rate was less than $200 a night.

New Hotel built a year or so ago - staff were very friendly, 10 minute walk along the harbour front to downtown -- Hotel rooms were very clean -- a great alternative to the traditional hotels located right downtown -- and I still had a great harbour view...and the price was very reasonable...

I stayed at this wonderful hotel for two nights in mid-April. I was in Halifax for business. The conference I was attending was at the Marriott Harbourfront, but because they were full, I ended up staying in the Marriott Courtyard, which turned out to be a very good thing!

I have nothing but good things to say about this hotel. The staff, including front desk, housekeeping and the bellman, were very accomodating. On the morning of my checkout, the bellman kept my luggage behind the desk, and he even called the restaurant that I planned to go to for lunch to ensure they were open. When I was ready to hit the airport, he called a limo service instead of a cab company, knowing that a limo ride would cost no more than a cab ride. Now *that* is service!

The room was very, very clean and the beds were comfortable. They even accomodated my request to have feather pillows. They have a handy pull-out desk in the room, which was perfect for the paperwork I had to do. My room came with a partial ocean view.

The location is super. You are only one block from the waterfront, and a comfortable walk from lots of restaurants and pubs. The hotel is literally next to the Alexander Keith's distillery, which is handy for souvenir shopping.

The only "bad" experience I had at the hotel was using their complimentary toothpaste when I realized I'd forgotten to pack mine. Their no-name toothpaste was so disgusting that let's just say I had a bad reaction to it!! So bring your own toothpaste and you should be just fine! :)

I've stayed in most hotels in Halifax. This is the most clean one by far. Room I stayed in was top notch. I didn't feel grossed out for once. Recommmended!
