"My brother and I stayed here for our trip to the Maritimes. We booked here for the beginning of our road trip, and then at the end as well after touring around the Maritimes. Staff was friendly, the room has plenty of space and was very clean, and the restaurant was actually QUITE good, and I actually had one of my favourite meals there of our entire trip! I would totally recommend booking here as long as you don't mind being a little drive out of the downtown Halifax area. (it is RIGHT off the highway as well, so easy access to everywhere). And there is a Starbucks next door!"
