The Barrington Hotel has a superb location. Although it's surrounded by a construction "war zone" currently, its elevators weren't working for stretches of our stay, the pool was a bit cloudy, and guests were struggling to print boarding passes at the lobby's business office for guests, the old Barrington has many compensatory attributes. We were able to walk to all the restaurants and pubs, the mall was very convenient next door, we use the stairs anyway so the elevator outage wasn't a big deal in a three-floor hotel, it's a 3-minute walk to the boardwalk, we had a very good breakfast, brunch, and a nightcap at the adjacent Tempo that featured excellent service and value, and the hotel desk staff showed good problem-solving to get our boarding passes printed. Definitely a 4 out of 5.

This property is a pain to get to from the parking lot. Elevator was broken, no one to help carry bags up. We were not able to drop off out bags at the door either. The road was closed, we had to drag them from the parking lot to the hotel. Block & a half. And UP HILL back to the parkade. Nobody answered the phone when we called reception. Pool was murky. Saunas did not work. AC wasn’t working very well. Bed was awesome and comfy clean and great pillows. Yeah! Location is great but not exactly waterfront, our view was another building. A nice building though.

The hotel is in an older building, but it is well maintained. The staff were nice. The hotel charged a damage deposit at check in, but they are not returning the deposit at check out, but stated "3-5 business days later". That is unusual and annoying.

The pool and the gym was good in this hotel. We fell for the trick on Expedia where it says Breakfast available. Breakfast wasn't included but the T=restaurant Tempo has good breakfast for reasonable price.

Its unfortunate that this hotel is near major construction. We were warned our water might be brown. One elevator was down the whole time then the 2nd one went down. The place was clean but very tired. The price was right so you get what you pay for.

The area is a mess! Closed entrances and construction everywhere. The hotel itself is fine and in an excellent spot, but Halifax needs to finally close that open pit that seems to be there every time I come.

Good lication
Difficult to get to hotel due to construction in area. Hotel did a good job in advising of this before arrival. No construction noises though. One elevator was out of order for two days and one day neither worked leading to a three floor walk. Sauna did not work two of the days we were there, Restaurant had grab and go service but was very slow. Lication good for access to waterfront. Room comfortable.

When we arrived in our room, the bedding was obviously not clean because it looked like a previous guest had blown their nose on the blanket. The ceilings in the hallway have stains of what looks like mold. In our final day, the water from our tap turned brown.
