Lochaber Lake

We needed a last-minute hotel stay and the Sandman was an excellent choice.

Good, not too greasy, free breakfast. Kids were happy with the pool that stays open quite late. Small refrigerator in the room quite convenient when you are travelling for several days with your cooler and ice pack. They are pet friendly but ask the price before arrival. We got a 52$ extra charge upon our arrival at the counter and were surprised by the amount. Overall, good spot not to expensive (except dog charges) close to Halifax downtown.

I love staying here because it’s convenient and comfortable with friendly staff and good breakfast and i g have done so for nearly ten years. My only complaint is not exclusive to this property - I have aged and now have mobility challenges and this and most other properties do not consider disability challenges except in the most superficial ways, i.e. raised numbers on room doors, handicapped parking spaces( which are greatly appreciated) and level entrances. Badly needed are adequate grab bars, higher toilets and no barrier showers in more than one room per property. Aging does a not eliminate a desire to travel but unhelpful bathroom facilities certainly make it an almost insurmountable difficulty.
