Bathroom ceiling moldy and bad smell coming from bathroom. Had to keep the door closed the entire time. Many surfaces (radiators, ceiling near fan in central area, switches, windowsills, behind and underneath furniture, etc.) not clean. Generally quiet, but one incident involving three police cars one evening we were there. Staff pleasant and helpful. Water problem meant we had to use bottled water for drinking and brushing teeth. Extensive stairs, carrying heavy luggage, to get to room.

We were looking for a basic one night stay to enable quick easy early morning departure to avoid the traffic in Halifax, which turned out really great. Made the trip to Halifax more enjoyable.

Price is decent but the property is a bit old like the TV needs to be updated so you can have option for streaming services instead of cable. An OK place to stay if your just looking for quick nice place with lots of option for food nearby but don't expect too much. It is what you paid for.

The place was dirty, smelly with cigarette smoke, the dust on the fan was clearly visible, entrance unlit, there was an ancient microwave oven in the room (couldn't they upgrade even that?), the young guy who checked-in us was very rude. Why the dark blue towels? The person who we checked-out was the only plus point, he was helpful. We had to cut out stay here by half of the planned. I do not know why EXPEDIA is associated with this property.
