We were in town for a Dalhousie event. Very convenient location, walking distance to everything and across the street from gorgeous public gardens. We were traveling with two small dogs, crated. The hotel has a lovely gift bag to welcome them on arrival. The room was beautifully appointed and the Nespresso coffee was delightful. The staff was friendly and the whole stay was exactly what we needed

Third time staying at Lord Nelson, always a pleasant experience. While the room in suite 543 was spacious and clean, the bathroom is awkwardly small and there is only a view of an internal mechanical courtyard that was pretty bleak.
