Gorgeusly comfy
Pros:

Vibes are great, the lobby is beautiful and our room was nicely designed. Room service and staff were great, super fast and friendly. We didn't eat at the Arms but have heard great things, maybe next time. Very comfortable bed (although my husband did mention the pillows being a weird shape lol). Some construction being done but it didn't disrupt our stay in any way which was lovely. Convenient parking in a great location for our purposes.

Cons:

In some spots the age of the hotel is quite clear in a less than ideal way. The elevators are oddly bouncy and at least one of them had some paneling that was very cracked. The bathroom had some badly done tiling and a strange configuration. Nothing to put the soap on once it's out of the package so it just slides on the counter.

Pros:

Lots of old-world character and friendly staff. Excellent location in Halifax.

Cons:

Some fixtures/fittings (fixable and unrelated to the building's old-world charm) are a bit worn.

Looking forward to staying again!
Pros:

The Lord Nelson is a beautiful hotel. The lobby is stunning with its high ceiling and chandeliers.

Check in was very easy. I was served quickly and I was able to store my bag easily and explore while I waited for check in time as I did arrive early. When I did check in, everything was explained in good detail, including the amenities. I love that you can go to the YMCA down the street and that it's included as an amenity along with their on site fitness centre.

I stayed in petite room which was still a good size and well appointed with good value for what I paid. I also got their breakfast offer and the voucher allowed me a coffee and a smoked salmon Benedict, which was very good. The menu for all meals is a good size and the food is great. I also ordered room service and got the gorogonzola spaghetti. The food was served promptly and the service was very friendly.

A wonderful stay in a charming, clean, friendly hotel that is deserving of its 4 stars.
