Top Shakespeare by the Sea Hotel Reviews

The Barrington Hotel

8/10 Good

"Decent king sized room. AC was good but no heater. Mini fridge in room. Coffee machine was available in room but the water chamber was not properly cleaned- so did not use. Room was clean upon arrival. Just the tub is pooling and not draining properly while showering. Staff were very helpful. Coming from parking from Scotia Square to the hotel was a bit of a walk and since we arrived late night from the airport, the elevator was locked from 9pm-7am. Staff was able to contact security and they were able to let us use the elevator as we had 2big luggages and they wont fit on the escalators. FYI, better to drop off your luggages first into the lobby if u arrive after 9pm, then park after. Otherwise, it was a good stay. Location really good as it’s in Downtown and the buses are just across the street from the hotel. Will actually recommend to stay here if u just need a decent and clean place to stay. Will come back when going to Downtown Halifax again. Thank you!"

"What a luxurious stay. Very clean. Bed was super comfortable and the towels were very thick. It was easy to adjust the heating/AC. Staff were very helpful and we enjoyed the area.
