Halifax Marriott Harbourfront Hotel

"Exceptional - everything great!"

The Halliburton

10/10 Excellent

"Quaint hotel close to the waterfront boardwalk and plenty of restaurants. The bed was comfortable and the room was cosy. There was a nice lounge to sit in, but we didn’t have time to make use of it and it was too rainy to use any of the garden terraces but they looked like they would be a nice place to sit and enjoy a beverage in better weather. The included parking was convenient and appreciated."

Red George Inn and Suites

8/10 Good

"Nice stay in a perfect location with accessible parking."
