The Lord Nelson Hotel & Suites
The property is tastefully updated, sparkling clean, and the staff were helpful to a fault. We had to move from a property we were very unhappy with, and they allowed us to check in at noon. Highly recommend.

HFX Airport Hotel
Nice clean room, my only compliant is the airport shuttle it can be slow and extremely busy early in the morning...we got an uber to get to airport because lobby was full of people. Took shuttle back.

Moxy Halifax Downtown
Unique/fun hotel. Room was clean, only complaints were the lack of soundproofing in the rooms. The walls were paper thin. The other downside was the lack of view from our room (room 524), we had a view of an alleyway/back of a building, filled with garbage, and needles.
