My husband and I enjoyed our stay at the Barrington Hotel. The room was clean and well-maintained, the bed comfortable and the bathroom surprisingly spacious. While a bit dated, as many other commenters mentioned, there was nothing missing from the amenities. The staff went out of their way to provide us top-notch service. The only slight glitch was that we struggled to park our (surprisingly tall) 2012 4Runner, as we learned that the recommended parking lot across from the hotel had a 5'11" limit, so initially we parked on a city street. After asking for additional help from the staff, they explained that there is a section of the garage reserved for taller vehicles, and we had no trouble with parking after that. With its extremely centralized downtown location and reasonable pricing, our stay at the Barrington Hotel will become a fond memory of our Halifax experience and we would definitely stay there again!

Check in was easy. I asked for a late checkout and it was no issue. Pool and fitness area was enjoyable. I travel to Halifax a few times a year. I will be staying here again.

The hotel was nice, rooms were clean. Unfortunately there was no onsite parking, which made it difficult as it was a long walk to bring the bags to the hotel and our room. We weren't advised of this until a day before. I would have booked somewhere else. If you didn't have a car, it wouldn't be an issue.

It was great location, close to a lot good historical features but the hotel is in need of some updating, like working air conditioning, closer inspection while cleaning and maybe an extra pillow left in the rooms as well as a box of Kleenex. The pool and fitness center was great.

Fantastic location, great staff, nice room. My only complaints for an otherwise great stay are that the key cards kept demagnetizing so we had to ask about 6 times in 3 days to get them fixed, and there are no towel holders in the bathroom except in the shower itself (nothing for hand towels). Very minor!

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at the Barrington Hotel. The room was clean and well-maintained, the bed comfortable and the bathroom surprisingly spacious. While a bit dated, as many other commenters mentioned, there was nothing missing from the amenities. The staff went out of their way to provide us top-notch service.

It’s an older building and older hotel. Could do with a renovation. The decor, cleanliness, and amenities left something to be desired. I wouldn’t stay here again for this price point

This hotel is beyond tired, it's exhausted. Approaching rates applicable to luxury hotels ($395.00 + tax per night) the brass on elevator doors and elevator buttons was so dirty one did not want to touch them. Peeling wallpaper, mold in the bathroom & laminate missing from the sink apron, room furniture from the 50's brought up from the basement, dirty carpeting and room service/cleaning provided only once during a 5 day stay, hotel policy. This should be mentioned in Expedia material so that people know what to expect for their money. Certainly not a lot. The staff responded as best they could and did provide daily room service to make beds and tidy the room after we insisted for the money we were paying. This is not even a three star hotel, two stars would be a generous rating.
