"The staff here are amazing. We stayed for two nights to kick off our East Coast tour. The air conditioning kind of worked, but was horribly noisy and not very effective. We couldn’t run it at night because it was too loud so things got a bit warm. Soap etc was satisfactory. Breakfast was limited. All that said it was decent for the price, clean, and the beds and pillows were comfortable, and it was super quiet. A special shout-out for the friendly and helpful staff."

It is just over the MacDonald bridge and a convenient and good-value alternative to staying in downtown Halifax. Parking was included. It is located in a nice residential area and one block away is a good view of the Halifax skyline. I would definitely stay again."
