The Good: It was available on short notice after a fiasco I had at another hotel I had booked but they didn't have mu reservation. Price was right given the short notice, location and what others nearby were charging. The Bad: The room has not been touched in literal decades. Awful flimsy furniture that looked like they got it from a second hand shop. old green carpet, terrible wall paper etc... You can just tell they have put $0 into improving the hotel since the 80s or whenever it was built. Could be much better but just is not.

The location is fabulous, just a couple of minutes from the waterfront and lots of restaurants close by. The restaurant in the hotel is very convenient also.

As always, the front desk staff were friendly and helpful. They accommodated me when I asked for a later checkout time, and were able to answer my questions re: bus fare/times. It's really convenient to be able to catch the Airport Express bus on the other side of the street from the hotel and be taken (in a roundabout way) to the airport. My room was spacious and had a view of the harbour and of the NSCAD building, but there was hair from someone else's stay on the shower wall and I noticed on my last day that the bedsheets had stains on them. Also there were a lot of extension cords just laying on the floor around the room; perhaps necessary because it's an old building and there aren't enough outlets, but it looks bad.

No parking. You have to carry your luggage through a mall and park in a parking garage a few blocks away. My key cards wouldn't work all weekend. We would continously have to go to front desk for them to fix it. Their rooms take you back in time to 1970. Very old. No cleaners go to your room unless you stay for atleast 4 nights. There is no free breakfast. You have to eat at the restaurant in the hotel. Staff could have been more friendly and helpful. Would never recommend this hotel.

Out dated room but the bed was comfy. Came with a mini fridge which was nice. Parking was $30 overnight at a nearby parkade but you could probably find street parking near by. We did not eat breakfast or at the restaurant. Average price for the city, good location.

Amazing old hotel. Room was huge. Front desk employee Simzan was excellent. I came down after seeing our room to let her know how amazing it room was and she moved us into the Princess Suite that was absolutely incredible. Loved this hotel and look forward to staying again.

A little cheaper than some of the other hotels in Downtown Halifax. No parking on site means you have to park & walk across the road using a Pedway indoors. Medway also takes directly to the Casino & harbor front. Boston Pizza located one minute walk indoors, plus a restaurant & food court 2 minutes walk indoors as well.No free breakfast however. Clean rooms but not entirely soundproof, & the swimming pool isn't heated. Staff is wonderful. Make sure to get your parking ticket stamped at the hotel front desk if your parking at the Scotia Centre.

The hotel room had damp carpets and the air conditioning was the original ventilation system from 20 years ago and it was not working properly.
