The hotel had a convenient location, just a short walk to the casino and was great for exploring the waterfront and city on foot. The rooms were spacious but felt outdated and not well-maintained.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were large and comfortable overall, but I encountered one at the end of the hallway that was absolutely freezing. The service was exceptionally helpful and pleasant throughout our stay. The location was excellent with easy access to the harbor boardwalk and many restaurants and shops. The dining experience was impeccable at the Delta Halifax. However, there were long line-ups, and for some reason, even though the DND was on our door, there were some inconveniences.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms are spacious, clean, and well-equipped with comfy beds, ample towels in the washroom, a small fridge, coffee makers, and tea makers. The view from the window was lovely, although the room could benefit from some updating. The location is excellent, offering easy access to various restaurants, pubs, live music venues, and the boardwalk along the harbor. The staff members were friendly, helpful, and went out of their way to assist, especially during these challenging times. However, parking in the Parkade was a bit challenging, and dining expenses could add up quickly.
