Horrible Horrible Experience
Pros:

Our group was belittled, demeaned and essentially harassed by the restaurant and front desk staff. I have never seen anything like it in my life. Do not book here if you are travelling with a group. They turned on and off the lights in the lobby while we were watching a hockey game repeatedly to tell us the lobby was closing at 10:30. They repeatedly came up to us to ask us if we had paid for parking - which we had. At 10 pm we moved to the restaurant area as they had indicated the lobby was closing. They sold us the last drink shortly after 11 pm. By 11:05 they turned off the lights and left us in pitch black. When I spoke to them to say they were required to give us a reasonable time to finish our last drink and that OHS standards required a certain lightening level they were beyond rude. We complained to the hotel manager in the morning who was very apologetic and said that should not have happened. Two days later while trying to order a bagel for my son they refused service to me. Two servers in the restaurant embarrassed and belittled me and several of the other parents in the dining room in front of other guests because they said we were disrespectful to them several evenings before. They then created a scene, calling me a lunatic and crazy. Their staff needs some serious customer service experience. The hotel manager was lovely and quite mortified by our experience. I have never in my life had such a negative experience and would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Needs improvement with reception staffing
Pros:

Location was really nice, close to Halifax Waterfront and walking distance to some attraction such as Dicovery Centre, Museum. Plenty of restaurant around the area. Room was clean and decent size for family of 4.

Cons:

Reception/front desk staffs were quite a disappointment. They barely talk, not welcoming. Not enthusiastic, even at check out the staff just nod his head and look at the door to convey that we’re good to go. It was not busy at check out at 3:00am. I even asked question about billing but i didn’t got an answer, instead, I was told that the receipt will be send to my email. However, I didn’t got an email and need to call the next day.

Pros:

Great things to see and do in the area . The view of the hotel from the road at night is stunning. On the weekend there is a market one building over. The steak house is exceptional.The cafe Bistro in the main lobby was excellent, clean and open until 9pm each evening.

Cons:

A front desk clerk was not trained very well. She continued to say things that did not apply. 3 different guests and my self had difficulty when checking out or trying to rebook for another night due to bad weather. No microwave in the room.

Great overall experience with some very good staff.
Pros:

I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to Sandra, Travis and Angel as they made my stay a very pleasant one. Their professionalism,warm attitude and genuine hospitality truly stood out. Travis and Sandra in particular deserve special recognition for their hard work and great respect to the guests. Both of them always had a smile including Angel. I hope they get some reward for making the guests feel welcome. All the best guys and see you soon.

Cons:

The property seems a bit dated in some aspects. Great location. While making the the reservation there want mention of the daily parking rate.
