Great location and comfortable room. There is no elevator.
Pros:

The hotel is in a good location close to the airport. The room was a good size and the bed was comfortable.

Cons:

There is no elevator and there is no food service on Monday and Tuesday. Although the hotel was clean, it is in need of refurbishing in places.

Lovely place to stay.
Pros:

The hotel possessed an air of elegance that reminded me of some British hotels in which I've stayed. The bed was extremely comfortable and the room very clean. We were placed on the ground floor in a room with a sliding glass door, which made it very easy to take our dog outside. The grounds were lovely beside the lake.

Cons:

The carpet in the hallways needs updating, and this was true to a lesser extent in our room. All of the wood on the exterior of the property needs to be scraped and painted. Other than this, the hotel was fantastic.

Pros:

Halifax und der Flughafen sehr gut erreichbar.
Das Gebäude und auch die alten Möbel passten zueinander.
Das Essen im Restaurant war fein.

Cons:

Wir waren 3 Nächte und hatten nie einen Roomservice. Der Geruch der Kläranlage ist sehr present. Im Korridor war der Geruch nach Feuchtigkeit oder ...?
Das Badezimmer, Duschrand sieht nicht mehr cleen aus. Auch der Rand der Fensterschiebetüre sollte gereinigt werden. Zur Reinigung gehören auch die Gartenmöbel.
