The pictures, while from the hotel, misrepresented what we actually got. The pictures looked elegant and spacious, but the reality was small and old, in need of updating. We left a lengthy list with the receptionist of things that needed to be fixed. The short version of that list is: tv didn’t work, internet kept dropping, multiple paint gouges on walls, breakfast (eggs, meat) was cold, dust/dirt along walls in bedroom, bathroom, leaking tub, and the stairwell. I’m not sure how to describe the mattress. There was basically a crease that ran down the length of the bed, so I slept in a 4” deep trench.
The employees were all kind and helpful. The receptionist to whom we gave the list was both surprised and apologetic, promising to give our list to the manager. Hopefully they follow through. Most of the things require time and very little money.

Booked a king suite and was offered a two double bed room upon arrival. Was told Expedia booking would not be honoured. The two beds had the worst mattresses that I have ever experienced in a hotel and I travel a lot. One bed the spring did not recoil back up after you sat on the bed. The other bed had a defined line where the mattress had taco-ed down the middle. Last minute, night before an early flight booking. The elevator made crazy noises, and there were people hanging out in a van in the parking lot. Super sketchy. Did not try the breakfast.

For a hotel that looks nice in the pictures, it reflects shotty workmanship and is very depressing. The employees spoke their native language in front of their customers, not very inclusive.

​Great location, clean rooms, and included breakfast.

​The main downside was an unexpected $50 deposit charged at check-in that was never mentioned during booking. At checkout, the front desk had no record of the payment until I showed my receipt. They refunded it without further issue, but the confusion was unsettling. Keep your receipts!

As we were on a 12 day motorcycle trip, funding was tight and we had to stay in strategic locations throughout Nova Scotia… kinda gambled on this one… it was not terrible but it wasn’t good either… the bar was sufficient, the patrons were friendly and entertaining, the wings were good, the breakfast was fair, the rooms were in need of a makeover and a better cleaning effort and the neighborhood was not great although our bikes were unharmed…

The staff on hand was friendly & efficient! The hotel is older but I feel it was styled well & noise proof & it was a comfortable. I can tell they’ve put some effort into maintaining the building. I think some things could have been a bit cleaner (our bedroom floor could have been mopped / dried beforehand - maybe it was dust on the dark floors but just didn’t look clean). The bathroom wall need wiped down due to condensation (no fan, window, ect). I wish the hotel had even one ice machine on the main floor to fill our water bottles.

First room we were assigned was flooded with water from the A/C. They moved us to their last available room. We went to visit family having surgery at Halifax Hospital. We got back to hotel by 10pm and there was ZERO parking. We ended up having to park at the closest grocery store and walked to hotel. We are 2 senior females travelling alone and did not feel safe making that walk after dark in a strange city.

This hotel is not as advertised, beware! The hotel itself is dirty, blood looking substance on sheets, pee on towels, reusable coffee cups were used and just left in the room. All this has been reported to Hotels.com and the hotel, pictures to back it up.

The hotel had no working AC, which left the rooms unbearable! They also didn’t have fans for every room, one senior was in the lobby complaining when we came in that the room was to hot. The staff gave her there lobby fan, which was covered in dust, she made them aware of the dust, which they then gave her a toothbrush to clean the dust off, by herself!

One of the worse managed and worse kept hotel I have stayed in! I stay in about 50 rooms a year.

Sketchy is how I would describe it. It's old, run down and in disrepair.

The elevator was so bad I wondered if the inspection papers were real. My wife was afraid to use it.

Our room didn't have a remote, and we ended up being moved because the TV didn't work. They moved us again for the second night while we were out, and didn't tell us.

The wifi was spotty and slow when it did work

Would not stay there again

Our stay overall was functional. Our room had what we needed. It had been cleaned and included newer flooring, but the hallway leading up to the room looked like it needed a good vacuum as garbage was on the floor. Our room windows were very dirty so we kept our curtains closed. The breakfast was ok, but mostly cold. We did appreciate the hot coffee. The location was ideal to walk to the harbour ferry and go to Halifax.

The Hearthstone Boutique Inn did not live up to the promise of its name. The parking lot is small. The front lobby is quite lovely, but the rest of the hotel is just adequate. The room was somewhat clean, but there was a fair amount of dust in corners by the tub and on lamps. The included breakfast was disappointing, with few cold options. Requests to refill the coffee urn and check the amount of hot food options were handled by the front desk clerk, so it seemed like there was no staff assigned to make sure that the breakfast offerings were monitored. This was an hour before the breakfast buffet was to be closed, so not an issue of being late.
Overall, the Hearthstone seemed a bit tired, and perhaps needs some more attention to managing the running of the hotel.

The room we stayed in wasn't fully cleaned. There were clumps of hair in the bathroom and in the main room, chips by the night stand. The beddings and linens were replaced and my kids loved the coziness of the bed. Overall, not a bad place to stay if it's fully cleaned before you have customers occupy the rooms. I was so tired and just wanted to get settled, hence I did not report it to the hotel staff.

What I liked about the property: The front desk girl when we checked in. She was great! When we came down to complain about our room, she went and checked other rooms and we got to move.

What I didn’t like: Lots and almost everything else. We stayed 3 nights First night. We slept good. In our changed room! Breakfast in the morning consisted of cold scrambled eggs, cold bacon, cold ham (at least that is was it resembled) and very cold and greasy hashbrowns. Coffee? I’m guessing they didn’t put grounds in the pot because it looked like colored water. The place was grossly dirty. Water bottles all over, overflowing garbage can by the coffee station, which is situated right by the front desk, so not sure why it was like that. Second day. Breakfast was at least warm, and they actually had some people fluttering around mopping and cleaning. Smelt better. Third day. Reheated eggs, and overly greasy food. Plus a huge leak in the breakfast room.

A few locals mentioned how the place has gone down hill since it was purchased a while ago. I don’t recommend!!

I liked the indian style decorations. The parking was ok. The breakfast was ok, except the coffee, which was horrible. Same for the coffee in the main lobby. When I asked if I could get a stronger coffee, I was told to drive to get one. The room was clean, but the pillows were not comfortable to sleep.The receptionist was polite, but the internet did not work, despite staff intervention and our requests for help. Convenient location to sleep one night, I would not reccomend for more.

The property is dated. Had problems finding a plug in for my laptop and a place to charge our phones. Breakfast was included with our room charge and they kept running out of various breakfast items. First 2 days was Mushrooms and Eggs Benedict; at another point they started substituting french fries without prior notice for Breakfast potatoes and then hashbrowns at another point. They would forget to include items, toast was always unbuttered.

The pictures on Expedia are deceiving!!! False advertising at its finest!!! First room upon arrival the AC didn't work so they said they'd get us a new room and it was definitely a downgrade!!! All along the wall of the bathtub was black mold, the room phone didn't work, TV didn't work, AC was on high and as cold as it went and was still hot in the room for sleeping. When I went down to the front desk to voice my concerns was asked well what would you like us to do about it. I replied with what do you guys normally do to make unhappy customers happy?? With no response...came to the room at least got TV working but nothing else in the room was addressed!!! Will never stay again floors in bathroom were dirty - all sorts of body hair on the side of bathtub and all corners and where tile wall meets floor were packed with grime, hair, and dirt.

I will give them though the breakfast was good and 80% of the staff was friendly

The entrance should habe been a warning to cancel and go elsewhere. The hotel is situated across from a very shady looking apartment building and next to a few larger buildings that look like housing projects. The vestibule was filthy, as if it hadn't been swept or otherwise cleaned in months. The lady at the desk seemed indifferent, at best, to our arrival, as if we were bothering her. The room was clean but decorated in a way I cannot describe , only that someone liked gold painted furniture. The mattress was several years past its prime. It was 70 degrees F outside and the air conditioning was barely able to pull the humidity out of the room. The drain in the bathtub/shower didn't drain and by the time I was done with my shower there were several inches of water in the tub. The base for the sink in the bathroom was constructed from a piece of formica countertop sitting on top of a frame crudely built from 1X8s. THE saving grace was the breakfast and the woman serving it. The food was simple but well prepared. The coffee was very good. And the lady serving the food was engaging, cheerful, and efficient. The breakfast experience is the only thing keeping me from giving this place a 1 star rating. I camceled another night I had reserved there for our last night before flying out next week as I couldn't imagine paying for another night there.

The room was ok. One of the beds has broken. You sat down and it was like the springs were broken. There was a big gauge in the floor. When my friend asked about laundry she was told they send it out. Later we found that there is a coin operated washer and dryer in the basement. Worked for what we needed.

The hotel does not look like the pictures. The gym had a bunch of other things stored in the room. It is very outdated.

The breakfast was good though.

Interesting ambiance. Classical antique furnishings with an Asian flair. Rooms were clean and beds /linens and bathroom upgrades were excellent. Although, it seemed all renovations of this older hotel have not been completed. Original guest room doors did not fit well and allowed hall light in although they had been upgraded with electronic key card locks. Tub and sink fittings could use some TLC, although the tiling and countertops were new and beautifully done. The pull up sink stopper was completely missing and the tub faucet was loose.
The little ancient pub doubled as the breakfast room but the included breakfast was generous and very well prepared. We enjoyed the stay for the price point. There was sufficient parking in the lot in front of the hotel.

Room was decent but window had some bad cracks. Toilet kept clogging and maintenance was hard to get a hold of.

I asked for extra towels 3 times from the front desk and never got them, had to grab some from the housekeeping cart myself.

It’s an okay spot if you’re just looking for a place to sleep for the night.

The room was dirty and had a bad feeling that bedding was not changed.
I of course told them that bathroom was dirty and they came to clean next day
But had to repeatedly tell them to clean room and sweep..breakfast was not buffet no drinks offered or fruit just bacon eggs and did not have pancakes as menu offered room was in a bad state dirty dusty old scuffed up and stained furniture..walls dirty and scratched need painting..really bad very dissapointed with expedia that you would rate this a 3 and 1/2: barely a 2
location was nice and edna the waitress was excellent. And so was Turone at the front desk. The lobby was dirty not swept and not mopped in the 4 days we were there. Breakfast area chairs were stained ripped on some areas really filthy would not want to sit there..not worth the money we were charged..

Toilet was broken. Stains on towels. Plug in bathtub didn’t work. Fire escape sign hanging by a wire.(snapped off wall)
No water pressure. The deadbolt on the door didn’t work. Probably the worst hotel I have ever stayed in.

the staff is nice and helpful, breakfast was good, there was hot water in shower, some gel and shampoo was in a room, but for toothbrush and toothpaste we had to make a request, no sleepers or bathrobes. the place is kind of old and dirty,renovation is needed. also, the towels were dirty, there was some yellow stains on it. I have no doubts they washed them, it just looks gross. when I pay a lot of money for a stay, I expect that they can buy new towels or wash them properly.

Calling this a boutique hotel is a bit of a stretch. The room was clean, the bed comfortable and the shower was good. But this is an old hotel that needs some TLC. There is nowhere to put your stuff in the bathroom and no plug in inside the bathroom.
I did some laundry which is in a creepy basement and not well lit. However, the washer and dryer (one of each) was very clean and did a great job. The lady at the front desk was very nice. $1.75 for detergent and a dryer sheet and $1.75 for the washer and dryer each.

The neighborhood looked scratchy, across the street looked like an old hotel that was taken over by undesirables. The hotel as soon as you walked in smelt. Our floor #1 was better. Did not feel safe. Pics were also deceiving, I thought it was by the water it was not. The lady that checked us in was nice but the other lady looked like she didn’t want to be there.

I'd love to give this hotel a better rating because the staff were very nice and welcoming, but the whole place seemed in desperate need of repair. Obvious water damage around the room, warped drywall and ceiling tiles, hallway ceiling was so low I hit my (6'3 on a good day) head on a sprinkler. Worst of all there was mould around the windows, AC, and around the shower grout. We were only here for one night so we didn't bother to hassle the staff and were working on the assumption that based on the rest of how the place looked, we likely wouldn't be able to escape the mould.

Extremely noisy at all hours of the day and night. Rundown suites, taps and bathrooms in need of work to be even ok. During our 10 night stay had leaks onto sink counter area from above suite, all our stuff on the counter got wet and soggy. No real concern about it when reported to front desk. The next morning had liters and liters of water pouring through bathroom ceiling heat lamp area and again reported to front desk and only somewhat concerned, they fixed the upstairs suite from us and cleaned up ours but had hours of no use of our washroom. Didn't have anywhere to move us as in another suite and never offered us a discount for the inconvenience. You get exactly what you pay for. Parking is a bit sketch as to not enough for a full house, you need to park a block away otherwise. Will not return here for are stay next time we visit Dartmouth.

This hotel is ideally situated a 15 minute drive from downtown Halifax or walkable to the ferry to get to Halifax. The front desk has 24 hour service, the rooms are clean with all the necessary amenities including a microwave, mini fridge and hair dryer. The staff is friendly and responsive. They offer made to order complimentary, hot breakfast. Complimentary coffee and tea is always available in the front lobby. In addition, this being an older hotel, there is quite a bit of character in the furniture, the lighting, the doors and the breakfast/bar area. For your entertainment, there are also slot machines and a dart board. Parking is free. We would stay again!
