    some of the walls aren’t sealed properly so you can hear the next suite overs conversations. It would be nice to have an option for early check in.

    The suite was exactly as advertised and very clean. The check in process was very simple and we had no issues with our stay.

    Units to the back of building on lower floors have no view if you are looking for that. Beds were not the most comfortable. No parking on site but parking garage located next street under.

    Location is great. Right in the downtown core within walking distance of restaurants, attractions. Place was super clean and kitchen was fully stocked with everything needed to cook for yourself. Keypad entry. Price is reasonable. Laundry on site and access to clean towels available.

    Location is perfect and super close to all downtown restaurants and bars. The room was a lot nicer than I expected. Rooms are modern and updated. Full kitchenette is a plus. Check in and check out process was super easy. Parking to unload luggage was a was a small issue as barrington St is busy during check in times. However for over night parking there is a large parking garage around the corner. However it is $18 - discounted parking would be a plus. In general no complaints would recommend to anyone looking to experience downtown Halifax/night life. :)

    Online services is good, but sometimes reply is not so quickly. The past code for enter into the hotel seems doesn’t work, it lead to a bit trouble. But the price of accommodation is cheaper compared to the similar hotels.

    the transportation is so convenient to visit around the city by walk

    Noisy accomodation (indoor noises during the whole night of the heating and air circulation system). There is no real windows (there are brick walls in 1 meter in front of the windows), so a bit dark flat.

    Excellent location

    TV was not hooked up to the internet to allow streaming movies. Pillows were too hard and just not great.

    The kitchen facilities were great, allowed us to save time and money by cooking in the morning instead of eating out. Perfect location.

    The area where the floors meet the windows, do not have noise barriers. You can hear everything from the room below. Great for a couple just wanting time away.

    I absolutely loved the location.

    It was very loud throughout the night. There was a huge party on the floor below and my partner and I could hear every word spoken for hours.

    Beautiful and clean apartment. Lots of space in the living area and very comfortable and homey.

    My only complaint is the shower floor: the lower lip for the shower door wasn't quite high enough and was prone to some over flow and leaking and the grade in the shower resulted in a fair bit of water pooling. Personal preferences: I would have preferred the water to be hotter but I realize not everyone likes to cook themselves in the shower ;) The self-check in was generally smooth, however mine had a couple of little bumps (took some time to receive the codes for access after check-in) and needed to use the assist for help but they were expeditious and easy to communicate with. This may be difficult for those not as technologically inclined but I believe that the online check-in process is described well before booking.

    The facility was not busy, I didn't see any other people, so it was wonderfully quiet. Self-check in was easy once I went through the process. Though there is no parking for the facility, the hollis street parkade is about 2 minutes walking distance, easy to bring luggage etc without needing to park out front. Laundry facilities were on the same floor as the unit, and were clean. The room was very tidy and well appointed with all the necessities (kitchen: full size fridge with freezer, oven and microwave with toaster and kettle in the drawers etc; I have a personal preference for dish cloths for cleaning and I couldn't find any, but other supplies were provided; ironing board and closet space for professionals; seating and work surfaces). The bed was pushed up against the wall which may be tricky for 2 people but worked fine for me and was comfortable and warm. The shower head is quite high (I'm 5'4" and had to reach quite high to adjust), and would likely fit those who are near the 6' range. The shower itself is spacious and had shampoo/conditioner and body wash provided. Very conveniently located next to many coffee shops and breakfast places, all within a short walk, or you can grab a couple basic groceries along the way and make your own in the suite. Fantastic location for any evening/late night activities downtown as it's quite centrally located around clubs, restaurants etc and not far from Scotiabank Centre. However, it can be quite busy with traffic/construction during business hours so keep in mind when driving. Parking was easy to find after hours but is more difficult if coming during business hours (730-8am etc). Also, Barrington street is a main route for many bus routes that can get you around town (most, if not all are accessible for wheelchairs etc) with a bus stop almost at the door step.

    Our room was super close to the elevator and it makes a squeaking sound when it goes up and down which was pretty loud. Other than that the stay was great

    Close to all restaurants and bars. I read that it was going to be noisy because of the nearby bar but we had no issues with noise in room 304 which was impressive considering it was friday. The space was big and the tv worked well. Overall a good stay
