This hotel is a fantastic choice for a Halifax stay, perfectly situated right on the boardwalk amidst numerous shops and restaurants. It's exceptionally clean, and the top-floor lookout offers stunning harbor and boardwalk views, ideal for morning coffee or evening drinks. Our "king with balcony" room was comfortable, but be aware that the balcony is a semi-private shared terrace. You'll likely want to keep the blackout curtains closed for privacy due to visibility into the room from other areas.

Short 1 night stay after a 2 week visit to NS and PEI. We had a later flight out of Halifax so the Marriott was perfect for spending most of the day in the downtown and waterfront areas. Appreciated being able to leave our car parked on the last day at no extra charge.

Location was fantastic. Close to everything. There is major construction next door and our room was facing so a bit loud (I had earplugs so didn't mind). Staff was friendly but need to practice to either multitask or politely stop people from chatting. We waited for 10 mins in a line up at the front desk while the only front desk person chatted with a guest about salads. We ended up leaving and returning later as well as another gentleman because it was taking too long.
