Enjoyed my stay

The Lord Nelson Hotel & Suites
The property is tastefully updated, sparkling clean, and the staff were helpful to a fault. We had to move from a property we were very unhappy with, and they allowed us to check in at noon. Highly recommend.

The Sutton Place Hotel Halifax
Couch was dirty and smelly. No extra blankets. Tv mounted to the opposite wall of couch. Room was stuffy and unable to get air. Shower head is all gross and clogged, only worked well on one setting. AC was not working.

Prince George Hotel
We always have an excellent stay at the Prince George. The location is unmatched and the pool/hottub/sauna is always fantastic. There are also less children here than other hotels, if you’re looking for a quiet, relaxing pool experience.
