The location was great. It's in north end of Halifax, and it's close to everything - bars, pubs, cafes and restaurants. However, as other reviewers said, the wall is extremely thin and it's not so comfortable to find peace in the room. You hear the door slamming every time other guests come back, hear they talk as there are pretty big gap at the bottom of the door. It's a good option if you're looking for something close to downtown on a budget. But if you look for restful night, this is not for you.

The hotel is rundown, which wouldn't be bad if it was clean, but it looks like the carpets, walls, toilet, sink, etc. haven't been cleaned in years. The AC was dirty too and so loud, I couldn't sleep all night. I would never stay at this hotel again.

Price was right but you get what you pay for I guess. Convenient location. Lots of nice small eateries near by. No customer service or house keeping. No parking except on street at night and the night I arrived was street cleaning night so I wound up paying fine and staff didn't even mention it. Building was noisy, and bed not attached to wall kept on moving everytime I sat on the edge. Not what it use to be, I think new owners and they are cutting way back with our dropping their $$$.

I liked that it was on a quite street near downtown and many cute coffee places around. I didn't like that they didn't have coffee in the room, no hairdryer, mold around the shower door and a large leak stain with cracked plaster right above the bed. also the blinds are not opaque. no parking no elevator

Good enough

Good location - 5min walk from Halifax Commons and 20min walk from downtown, next to the Brown Hound Pub. TV but no cable, AC loud, the duvet smelled musty and the bathroom was clean-ish. Staff were very nice. Good enough if all you need is a place to sleep.

This was the worst stay i have ever had! There is no parking so you have to move your car every hour between 8-6 or get a parking ticket. There was pubic hair in the shower.There was no hot water.There was no cable.There was garbage in the garbage bin.From the previous renter, the dust was so thick I wrote my name in it there's no cable. This place is not fit to even still be open! Save your money and rent else where.

Very old building. Lots of noise from the street (sirens) easily heard. Sounds of someone running up/down the hallway during the night. Only tv services is via google chromecast. Couldn’t get ours to connect (yes we have done it before so we knew what to do). Bathrooms old and need renovation. Old furniture and not very comfortable beds. 2 half size pillows per bed. Musty old smell throughout. All stairs so if you a mobile impaired it’s not a good choice. Overall I didn’t realize it was listed as 2star and it definitely shows.

Our room was disgusting. You could feel the dirt on your feet when walking in the room, our bathtub was full of mold. There was dust, dirt, grime and hair everywhere. The a/c buttons were broken & wall outlets were hanging from the lamp cords however the front desk staff were very friendly & it was a convenient location as we were staying to attend a concert @ garrison grounds. The location was also near lots of good food!

Bad neighbourhood but

The motel is quite rundown but it was clean enough and quiet. The location is close to restaurants and other commercial establishments but you have to be aware of your surroundings. Lots of street people in this area and we were assaulted a block away. This is not the motel’s fault, of course. It’s just a sketchy area.

Good spot in North end.

Room was small but clean, bed was comfy. Staff were friendly and helpful with our bags. You can hear most things in the hallway. Cons: no elevator and no public bathroom. Location was superb. Hot spot for locals. Food and drinks all within wallking distance. Quiet neighborbood and felt safe. Coming from Vancouver BC... felt like commercial drive. Would stay again and i would recommend folks to check out. Every local we ran into said "thats a good area".

Hotel was old and dirty - pee around the toilet and mould in showers. Old clunking air conditioner so loud couldn’t sleep, water damage on windows and orange 1970 blinds shower leaked water out around toilet - worst place I ever stayed in my life . Supposed to have a queen bed but was only a double. Pillow was flat and comforter was old cheap kids comforter - so bad - never again. Also no elevators and dragged suitcases up 4 flights of stairs with no assistance offered and no maid service - had to put our garbage outside the door and request towels at the front desk. Drunk homeless people sleeping outside the hotel shouting all night
