Very nice hotel
We checked in to this historic hotel close to downtown Halifax to celebrate our wedding anniversary. This hotel is an early 20th century landmark, not overly ornate, but classic and tasteful. The room was quiet and comfortable, with high quality beds and linens. When the front staff heard that we were celebrating our anniversary, they left us a lovely gift of a bottle of champagne and a box of chocolates with a note from the hotel team. This was unexpected and appreciated. All in all, we loved our stay.

Renovating?
One of the elevators were broken and it too forever to get to the room. The pillows were oddly uncomfortable, and someone was walking back and forth above us. They need to ask guests to take off shoes or hotel should put more rugs down. The hotel has the potential for being excellent. Are they renovating?
