Arrived in Halifax late and stayed here our first night to be close to the ferry for our early morning booking. Property is ‘cute’ from the outside. Our room smelled like a toilet deodorizer puck. Everything about the room was off-putting. Dirty dark carpet, lighting, dark stained bedspreads, dirty walls, coffee in room no cups provided (not sure I would have used the in room machine anyway due to everything else in the room) …..ughhh, I thought I was in a bad dream! It was very convenient for the ferry however I would give up convenience for bad smell and cleanliness any day. A positive would be it’s in walking distance to Tim’s or McDonald’s for a quick coffee and when are flight was delayed I had reached out to hotel to advise and there was good communication provided from the staff on how to access the room.

Adequate, very basic. The little kitchenette is ingenious! The room, kitchen & bathroom were clean , however there was mildew in the bathroom & the whole room smelled damp. The bathroom has attractive decor & is bright, but it needs work, were not enough towels, no kitchen cloths, no extra toilet paper, no kleenex, no fan, & no screen on the window, no shelf in the bathroom, so no place for toiletries. The bedroom is small for 2 beds, wifi was ok, not great. The motel office is cramped, very dark & awful.

It was what we wanted. A cheap place to crash. Nice sized tvs. Manager was very accommodating. Had a weird smell when we came into the room, but the manager sprayed it with deodorizer and it was fine.

The picture on line isn't even close to the actual room we stayed in. Our room was old and the only thing updated the sink and toilet in the bathroom. It reminded me of the Bates Motel in Physco. My wife wouldn't let me walk in bare feet. She suppected bedbugs, but none were found. Our friends shower curtain had mold on it.

Where to start? The smell of too much FABREEZ abated after opening a window for a while & was replaced by the oder of 60 years of tobacco smoke in all the soft furnishings! The carpet was suspect, the bathroom floor has not been mopped in some time. Removing my socks to get into the tub & walking on this floor for a few moments caused the water in the shower to run brown from the dirt my feet picked up. The new-ish tub surround has not been sealed to the bottom of the old tub properly so the bottom of the tub flexes up & down making it very unsafe.
