We stayed there for my daughters 19th birthday, The room was amazing (facing the waterfront) and the location was perfect (right in between a great bar and the Casino with many food options around). But most importantly...when we arrived to our room, the staff had left a 19th birthday basket as a gift for my daughter which was so thoughtful and kind, and house keeping sent up a free bottle of wine. You guys all made her birthday the most special ever and we couldn't be more thankful to you. We will definitely stay again!

There was nothing I didn't like. Everything was perfect!

This is a great hotel if you are only staying in Halifax area and close to the airport. The waterfront area is accessible with great restaurants, boat tours, farmer's market, etc. The hotel dining room staff was exceptional. We ate at Five Fisherman, Salty and another outdoor bar restaurant at the waterfront. Food was exceptional everywhere. There are plenty of places to sit and read on the boardwalk which was nice while enjoying the water views. Had one room service meal was great.

We rented a car and getting out of Halifax traffic was a bit tedious every day. So much construction and narrow roads getting out of the city. We could only do a few hour day trips. We'll have to come back to see the northern and southern tips of Nova Scotia. In addition, the refrigerator in our room was quite noisy while sleeping; however, the AC was on and blocked the noise. We had a coffee maker that did not work but was promptly replaced.

From the minute we approached the desk to check in until the moment we checked out, the service was absolutely amazing! Always a smile and such willingness to help. We thoroughly enjoyed taking advantage of the beautiful pool and hot tub. We were so impressed with the cleanliness of it, it literally invited us right in! :) Can't wait for the next visit!

About the only thing I didn't really like was the cost of the parking. I know it's expensive to run hotels, but when a person pays that much for a one night stay, having the parking comped would have made the experience even better.

We really loved the location and walking distance to everything we wanted to do. The ladies at the front desk were incredible. They were both so friendly and welcoming and honestly we new from just checking in that we were going to have a wonderful weekend. We couldn't help but notice that every time we were in the lobby that the staff was always smiling and saying hello. It was my fifth night in two weeks staying here and i am thinking about staying again on February 29th for a night if its a good price.

Its a very pricey place to stay and the parking is expensive.

We stayed there to go to the casino, however the casino was noisy and all the machines were changed to mostly penny machines, a couple of 25 Cent ones nothing big. It used to be a nice casino but now we did not like the machines. Had something to eat in one of the many restaurants. The room was excellent, had a view of the harbour, comforters, very clean, had a fridge with water in it but we had brought our own bottles of water. It was quiet and peaceful which we liked.

The casino machines had changed so much since the last time we were there, We could not find one dollar machines, only penny machines with no big wins or it took a lot of pennies from 40,80, and up etc.. The hotel was excellent.

The staff were the most wonderful hospitality workers I’ve ever met. This was the best experience we’ve had at a hotel. Everything was absolutely exceptional. I am so glad I cancelled at the barrington hotel. I would have regretted spending $300 immediately. Instead I spent $500+ on quality and will never regret the experience. I felt rich for a night. But my favourite part was the staff. I bought pop at 1am and the staff member at the counter smiled at me and greeted me professionally. At that hour at any other hotel in Nova Scotia. You’d be sighed at and treated like a bother. The rooms were the cleanest I’ve ever stayed in. Spend the extra money to stay here and have a beautiful time. This is our forever hotel now. I cannot recommend it enough.

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. What I don’t like is that other hotels are not up to the same standards.

The hotel's location is excellent, close to services, and its price is suitable and affordable for everyone. The room is large and clean, and the staff are excellent. As for the food, I did not order anything. I recommend it to anyone who visits Halifax.

I loved everything except the food because I hadn't tried it.

Great location, my daughter is disabled so it was nice to have so much happening, so close by. The friendly staff, especially the housekeeping was above expectations. The restaurant was nice atmosphereand good food.

Large place so needs more signage. We walked out of our way to find where we wanted to go. This was difficult with my daughters disability.

My room had a view overlooking the harbour so I could see all the ferries and boats on the waters. Awesome! The reception staff were very friendly and helpful and provided quick solutions to queries. Having a car park was also a bonus! Location was perfect for a hotel. You just walked outside to the quay! The inhouse coffee shop which provided a better choice for a small breakfast.

Great location and the staff are the best!! I love staying at this location and the main reason is the staff, that are all so friendly and welcoming. I can’t get over the fact that the customer service here is the best iv seen in years, from the front desk to the waitresses in the lounge and everybody in between it’s just a real pleasure to stay here and see the smiling faces, and how genuinely sincere they all are.

I loved it all…
