Decent clean rooms, and a great Tempo restaurant and lounge/ bar with amazing staff. The fitness facility is incredibly warm, windows screwed shut, had to talk to manager a couple of times to get the air conditioning on, even then it’s a hard work out… fitness area is also quite dirty, one worn out mat, a very dusty dirty floor,easy to see not regularly cleaned and some days no towels available, despite being in there as soon as it opened and despite bringing this to management’s attention. Also very frustrating is that our key cards needed to be swapped several times as they would cease allowing us room / gym entry, despite not being near our cell phones as management indicated might be the problems. Elevators also not regularly cleaned and smelled bad. We personally would not return, there are many other hotels to look into .

Over the stay was okay. For a place downtown Halifax with a decent rating I was underwhelmed. I would stay here again, but would look for other places.

Air conditioning didn’t work. Room was too hot. Was advised that they didn’t have maintenance available. Had to pack all my things and move rooms at 11pm and the staff were not helpful at all. Location is great, and pedway access is good, but the hotel is run down and staff were not great to deal with.

Efficient check in, decor was a bit tired. We did not eat in the restaurant as we saw a mouse in the dining area
