Never again
By ,
I was so disappointed in this hotel. Our phone didn't work and was never fixed. When asked about internet we were assured it was available but didn't mention it cost 10$ a day. Making coffee in your room - sure, but must use the bottled water left for you and it costs 4.50$ per bottle. Hidden costs galore AND the toilet paper is one-ply sandpaper. The only friendly staff member was our valet. He was great. We will never stay in this hotel again and perhaps never any Westin Hotel. Elda

Lousy is the word for your website
By ,
Don't you think the contact telephone should be mentioned somewhere loud and clear right upfront. I have been scouring your website for the past 20 minutes for a phone number and nothing. Zippo!!!!

Stay Away !!!!!!
By ,
Probably the worst Hotel we have ever stayed in. Checked in on Saturday night after being on a plane all day. Our room the bathroom had been given a quick wipe down by the cleaning staff, forgot to clean the toilet and there was broken glass on the floor. Friends room pube hairs in the bed and the bathroom counter still had makeup and toothpaste stains from the last resident. Gave us a new room on Sunday this one was clean and the bed didn't sag to the floor in the middle. Also gave us a free breakfast buffet on Sunday morning to compensate for the crappy room. The food at Elements was decent but I fairly certain I won't go back to this Hotel again.

At least they think they're good
By ,
I just got back and my view of this place is clouded by the cost. All those hidden charges, it's not funny now that the Canadian dollar is so strong. The restaurant Elements is just okay; there are not any first-rate restaurants in Halifax, and yet some do dare to exhibit perhaps a hint of pretension, for example Elements describes itself as "upcasual dining", which is a dumb word coining. But the staff at Elements were real nice, that was good. The air conditioner vents in our room were on the window sill, so if you close the shades, there is no air flow, a poor setup for sleeping. One night we ordered 2 beers from room service, no cooking involved, yet it took over a half-hour, somebody forgot. The location was good at the southern end of the Harbourwalk; they were filming a movie for the Lifetime TV network right nearby on the Harbourwalk, we saw Ricki Lake overact.

I Disagree with the Nightmare Hotel Comments
By ,
I have stayed at this hotel on numerous occasions. It is an Historic Landmark in Halifax so they are passing off nothing. It is accross from Cornwalis Park, attahced to teh Train Station and the hotel is over 100 years old. We often host confrences there and the Catering Services is second to none in Halifax. Efficent, Professional and very friendly. A lot of Westin Hotels are very snobby but not this one. Snobby doesnt fly in Halifax so they obviously know their Market. BRAVO!!!!

GREAT HOTEL
By ,
I can't say that I disliked anything abou this hotel. I found the men at the front door very helpful and pleasent, they were down to earth and friendly without having their hands out for money every time you turn around. Front deak attendants were also very pleasent and gave great service. All and all, best hotel in halifax!

Location, location, location !
By ,
We chose to stay at the Nova Scotian because you can't beat it's location. We wanted to visit Pier 21 and the hotel is right across the road. The waterfront is a short walk away as are all downtown attracations - Maritime Museum, Citadel, Casino, etc. The rooms were nice especially the "Heavenly Beds and Showers" that Westin is known for and the room was very clean in our experience. The service was not bad, although not superb as one might expect in a upscale hotel. We'd like to see them charge alot less for services such as internet use - $5 for 15 min. is a little steep considering they offer other services like a Hummer Shuttle for free. The pool area could use some sprucing up.

Nightmare Hotel
By ,
Avoid this place like the plague. It's a beat-up old hotel which is about 50 years past its prime and now it's being passed off as "historic." For those used to Westin comfort and style, you're better off at the Four Points down the block. I got no sleep until 2AM with blaring music and when I went to the bar to have a drink, the bartender didn't have a clue how to make a drink and then didn't offer to remove the charge when I left it after one sip. Starwood needs to get rid of this property.
