Has a lot of potential , wifi should be fixed , loved the candy machine on 2nd floor with tap. On 3rd floor is very quiet , had a good sleep. Overall good value , what’s the point paying for a very expensive hotel in area when you just need a good bed linens and quiet . It served it purpose well. If you are looking for a chic modern luxury place , this is not it. If you are looking for value , quirky , quiet sleep. This one is for you .

Parking isn't acceptable when hotel is full. We couldn't find a parking spot when returning on a Sat night at 8pm. The front desk guy acted like he didn’t care when asking for assistance. The outlets must be replaced, plugs fall out constantly ad very unsafe because of it.

I recommend avoiding this place all together! The elevator was broken and we were on the third floor. We were told that is was getting fixed but another guest told us it’s been broken for well over a year. The staff was not helpful at all, water pressure was a drizzle at best. The room had hardly any outlets including none in the bath room. The whole building was smoking hot even though they said there was no heat on. Amenities non existent. Save yourself the stress and stay somewhere else 😞

Also, no breakfast at all. But it is very close to the Dartmouth hospital, beds are comfortable and clean, and if you are well enough the mall nearby is good shopping. There is also an Atlantic Superstore very close and a fridge and microwave in the room. A good budget hotel.

Beds were clean and comfortable; the lobby was really cute.
I am giving three stars because there is definitely some upkeep that needs to be done. We had some rain, and the window leaked, it was an obvious ongoing issue, as the plaster was falling from the ceiling, walls and frames also had quite a bit water damage.
The restaurant is only open weekends (fri/ sat/ sun)
coffee supplies not replaced in rooms daily either.

parking can be a bit difficult, but doable. I liked the location, and ease of getting into Halifax, and the surrounding areas.

the VLT rooms, hallways, stairwells, could use a deep clean.
It appeared the inn is undergoing renovations slowly.

We all know the saying \"Never judge a book by its cover\". That applies to this hotel. From the outside you may be a little wary but keep an open mind. The rooms and hallways have been renovated and our room was very clean and comfortable. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. You will want a car to get around, but it is about a 20 minute drive to the bridge to Halifax and is close to the highways.

Although the staff was very friendly and check-in was quick, the hotel itself is a little dated. The restaurant was not open for breakfast, but again the staff quickly referred us to a cafe that was fine.
Our room, although quite large, was very dated and not as clean as one would hope. We had a microwave in the room, that we had to clean before we used it - old, dried food was inside the oven. There was popcorn on the floor by the bed and a large sticky spot on the floor that we needed to clean up instead of stepping around it.
Overall, we stay the one night - it was a reasonably convenient location, but I highly doubt that we would stay there again.

Toilet was clogged & had to be dismantled with us in the room. It smelled like sewer that my kids & I had to just rush out. The front desk offered no alternative for us. When I asked for a different room & if we could stay another night I was told it would $200, twice as much as I booked with Expedia without any consideration for the inconvenience. So I just went back up to the room and grabbed my kids without shower or brushing their teeth. I asked if we could use another room for bathroom use but it was on a different floor and the inconvenience of packing up everything just and walk the common areas in our PJs was just too much so we just decided to leave once and for all.
The cleaning staff was very sympathetic so we still tipped them.

It doesn't look like much on the outside, but the staff was quick, efficient, and helpful, and the room was clean and well appointed. We didn't check to see what the breakfast options were like as we'd seen a café (the Cottage Café) across the road (which was excellent btw). The only downsides were the limited parking (I parked on the street until I saw someone leave), and the soundproofing. Every time someone opened and closed a door nearby, it sounded like someone was entering our room. But those were both minor issues, and we were happy with our stay. And the cleaning staff were really friendly too.
