The Barrington Hotel

The rooms are spacious, clean, comfortable and the furnishings in the room are pleasant wood, good quality. The front desk staff was helpful and even printed paper directions for driving to Cape Breton. The location is within a 5-10 minute walk of almost every tourist interest point, shopping and dining and the waterfront. The hotel is attached to a good restaurant that is open until 10 PM.

The location of this hotel was perfect. It was in walking distance of everything we wanted to see and do downtown. The price of this hotel was more affordable than others in the area as well. And the staff were very helpful throughout our stay. The restaurant served a delicious breakfast and coffee, which was a great way to start off our day. Most importantly, the bed was comfortable and clean. We didn't hear any outside noise at night, so we had a great sleep. And the bathroom was nice too. I would stay here again for the price, location and comfortable sleep.

Overall it went well, I could not figure out how to get the sauna to work and the pool was a little cloudy. The restaruant and especially the staff were great. Trying to figure out how to get the car to the main door involved a lot of circling and then their was an extra charge to park st Scotia Square. also could not get the tv guide on the remote to work

The location of this hotel is excellent. I was attending a conference in downtown Halifax. It was walkable to the conference, and also to many restaurants and other amenities. There's a pedway to the Scotia Square Mall, which conveniently has a pharmacy with decent hours, and other food and retail shops. The hotel is also just up the hill (big hill, wear comfortable shoes for walking up and down it!) from the Halifax Waterfront, Historic Properties, and the Ferry Terminal to Dartmouth, and down the hill from the Halifax Citadel Historic Fortress. The hotel is also conveniently located on several major bus routes, so getting to other parts of the city by bus was very easy too. The hotel room was clean, with the usual amenities. There's no hotel breakfast, but there is an independent restaurant and cafe on the lobby level. There is a commercial fitness centre in the lower level, and the hotel has a fitness room also. My room, was in the Business Suite section, which gave me access to a nice Business Suite lounge.

Central location in the DT core at a reasonable price.
