We stayed here for one night while on vacation, and it was great. Our room was large, modern, and even felt freshly updated - it even had a new carpet smell. The bed was super comfortable, and the room itself was quiet. The only thing was the shower doors kept opening. But I stuffed a washcloth behind the door, which helped. Other than that, the staff was incredibly nice and would definitely stay here again in town.
me and my kids stayed a few days ago coming from nb. the room was nice and clean and they even welcomed us with a few chocolate bars and chips for being a club member. my kids loved the pool and the breakfast was nice and warm the hotel was nice and quite and the check in was quick and easy would stay here again
Walls are paper thin. EV charger is not free. Rooms are super comfy and clean. Kids enjoyed the pool. Loved the gluten free bread option (need to be reminded that the toaster needs to be separate). Lots of bfast options yet the kids found it bland. The bar and all the screens were perfect for watching the hockey final.
Friendly staff. Rooms are clean. The only complaints I have are the pillows are way to soft. It was just like I didn't have a pillow under my head. Shower is very slippery and water pressure is low. We had a standard room with a king size bed. The bed was super comfortable, however it's a small king size. I have king size at home and this bed was way smaller. Room is definitely not worth $355 a night(taxes in). Location is close to everything by vehicle.
Fantastic new hotel right next to the RBC arena. Minutes away from the outlets. Large rooms, friendly staff and fair prices. Will definitely be staying here again.
Popped in for the grand opening of their lounge and I have to say, it was one of the best experiences I’ve had in a while. My husband and I sat at the bar. Enjoyed a delicious Blueberry Mojito that he made off menu (it’s my favourite so I asked if he could make it) We spilt the Classic Club & Pulled Pork Sandwich and it was AMAZING. The chicken was so moist and tender, the pulled pork was so flavourful. Can’t wait to go back and try more
The location is close to shopping, a reasonable drive time wise from the airport and a quick drive to Halifax and the surrounding area. The rooms were the standard style but offered excellent blackout roll down blinds. Room was clean and well maintained. They have a large area next to the lobby with bar service and a selection of sandwiches and quick foods. Lots of TVs for watching whatever sports you're into. Breakfast was also the standard eggs, sausage, bacon, waffles type of selection. It was very clean. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. The pool area is perfect for those under 6. The water in the large pool was 80 but felt cooler. The water around the slide was cooler than the pool. There are no changerooms or washrooms directly off the pool but there are 2 large washrooms in the hall. Plenty of parking here.
This is my favourite spot to stay while in Dartmouth/ Halifax (modern, clean, comfortable beds, great breakfast, perfect Location in Dartmouth crossing just off the highway). The staff are always helpful and friendly. They do everything they can to accommodate you during your time there. Lynn is always so quick and helpful at check in /out. The adjoining site is almost finished as they have been adding a Staybridge property as well onsite. Looking forward to my next visit.
