It's in the personal details...
From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed and made to feel special. Only in Halifax for the weekend to visit someone in the hospital, they had our room ready early, were ready to assist with transport anywhere and recommendations as to where to eat and what to see on our downtime, the little there was. Turns out, they were so great we stayed and ate at the bar with the greatest of company in the bar staff that night. We are so grateful for the support we received from everyone, including the lovely doorman who had such nice words for us every time we left for the hospital.
