Be aware!! Don’t stay here!! Was woken up at night to find 2 mice in the room 1 had eaten a hole in my bag!!! Tried calling the front desk. No answer!! No parking! You have to pay for 1 of 5 spots. Was told free breakfast! There is nothing!! Bathroom toilet wobbles when you sit on it! There is a very good reason it’s “ non-refundable”

I liked the location, close to downtown and centre city. I liked the price and the photos. However you get what you pay for. Very limited parking(it also cost $20), old building, the rooms are updated, clean and cozy enough. But the lobby and halls are could use some tlc. The walls are also very thin, even the exterior walls you could hear everything outside as well as from other rooms. Don’t go there if you’re expecting a 5 star hotel. I would probably stay here again if I was looking for a cheaper stay in the city.

There is no parking, and when we asked the front desk lady where the nearest parking is, she told us to double check the sign out front. Which said 15min parking. We ended up having to park avout 10min walk away from the inn.

The property is located in a residential part of Halifax but close to tourist attractions like Citade andl boardwalk. The room was comfortable but rather Spartan a chest of drawers or a table perhaps. Excellent location great staff great neighborhood.

Let me start by saying the people who run this place are the nicest. Nothing but warm and welcoming ladies we encountered in the afternoon and a couple of gentlemen later on at different times. With that said, the place is undergoing renovation (as of June 2025), so be prepared for things to be a little messy. I would say most reviews of the hotel being run down with mold are incorrect, as we had a room (310) in the front of the hotel which was perfectly fine (except for the loud air conditioning which if you think about it, acted as white noise). Neat bathroom with decent soap and fixtures, while beds although small (I’m 5’10 and my legs would go overboard) were comfortable. Considering the price, it’s a great place for a night!

It’s kind of dirty when u enter the building but clean inside the room. AC noisy, shower head appears old, can’t be adjusted. New microwave and fridge. Noisy due to renovation which was a year already, as per previews reviews. Bed quiet low for tall people. Some staff friendly. Quiet neighborhood, no incident while we’re there, 2 nights…many restaurants around,uber comes quick. Nways, you get what you pay for. It could have been 3-4 stars if not for the noise of construction hence the building is not that organized and clean yet.
