Check in was easy. Staff were helpful. The room was quite nice and the bathroom was clean and updated, with a flashy lovely anti fog mirror. The bed was comfortable (very high) but the pillows were all over-stuffed- not a selection of flatter and fluffier. The heater/cooler is the old fashioned type that rumbles, loud+++. So between the ridiculous pillows and the rumble all night, sleep was minimal. The TV was beyond frustrating - two different remotes that each do their own thing, they subscibe to a basic Eastlink package, so you have about 8 channels that I have never seen before, nothing of interest. Breakfast was minimal- but truly I just grabbed a banana and ran so I didn't have time to really look. They have vending machines that have astronomical prices for drinks and you are not walking distance to a store or restaurant. These things would not be the end of the world if the cost for a room was reasonable . But for nearly $300 for a room just because you are in the Halifax area- I expect more
