Delta Hotels by Marriott™ Halifax Downtown

The Barrington Hotel
"For the physically challenged, parking is an issue as the Parkade is a good piece away. Also, because of the surrounding topography, best plan on using your car or taxis. Limited food service with the on site restaurant closed after 2 PM on Sundays, and therefore no washroom access in the lobby area. ..."

Moxy Halifax Downtown
"Zero a/c in all the public areas. Check in line was a 35+ minute wait. Temperature outside was 38° and even hotter waiting in line to check in. Some staff were fantastic while others, not so much. Clean rooms but lacking in other areas. Can't say I would ever stay with them again."
