Top Shakespeare by the Sea Hotel Reviews

The Sutton Place Hotel Halifax

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and upscale feel."

The Barrington Hotel

8/10 Good

"Very conveniently located. Bed and chairs a little soft. Could use a few updates but clean and very convenient location and happy with our stay"

The Lord Nelson Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"The location is great with multiple restaurants and shops to browse. The walk to the docks was an easy 20 mins but severely uphill on the return. Lots of interesting buildings including the Nov Scotia government and multiple museums and the art gallery also easy walks. Parking was good although I needed more direction to get the card right. I would definitely stay there again."

Delta Hotels by Marriott™ Halifax Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Really great hotel. Newly updated, spacious, clean rooms and good amenities. Parking situation is a bit odd, but it is on-site."

Cambridge Suites Hotel

"Pros: Loved the location. Amazing breakfast. Helpful staff. Early check-in granted. Cons: Pricey. Carpet in room is extremely thin. Floors and tables in room are sticky. Hqd to pay extra for parking."

Halifax Marriott Harbourfront Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"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."
