Hotel was very nice at the end of the Halifax waterfront. Staff were very courteous. Our room was a little bit small in an awkward corner, but that would be my only critique.

The room was really small for what we were paying. Also there were things like the photo on the wall which had a lard hand print on it and the remiss was so dirty I didn’t really want to touch it. However the bed was comfy and the staff was really nice

Great stay in Halifax Westin
There was some very noisy construction being done outside of our first room. We asked if we could switch and there was another room available - perfect! Nicer than our first room. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Loved our stay at the Westin in Halifax. Location, location, location!
