Halifax Marriott Harbourfront Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Nice to be right on the waterfront. Easy walk to great food and museums!"

Delta Hotels by Marriott™ Halifax Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was excellent, service was fantastic, Cathy at front desk went over and above expectations."

The Barrington Hotel

8/10 Good

"Good location near the boardwalk. Rooms need updating. Parking offside but less expensive when paid through the hotel."

Courtyard by Marriott Halifax Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"A great hotel, in a good location, with excellent facilities. Clean rooms and generally a well presented hotel. I down grade the maintenance because one of the two available lifts was out of action for all of our stay at the property and little seemed to be being done to get the lift back in service. Breakfast options were limited and pricey but the food was excellent when it arrived and plentiful. Overall a good place to stay, don't hesitate to book."

Cameo Hotel and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Enough cookware, cutlery, and dishes for everyone. Excellent beds and great bathroom."

Red George Inn and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Room was very clean and seems revelry renovated, so the bathroom was spotless. It felt like I was staying at a friend’s. I just wished there was a chain or extra lock on the door, and the label on the shower showed the wrong temperature direction, so I wasted a bit more water than normal waiting for it to warm up in the wrong direction."

10/10 Excellent
