  • Very noisy. We were in a room above the party hall and had to hear it until 3:00 am.

“I was not happy with the room. The music boomed all night and the guests hung out on the terrace below us having a grand time. It was so loud they might as well have been in the room. Told front desk who said "sorry there was a wedding" and took of internet charge, big deal. Also, put us, a family of four in a room with one queen bed saying that's all they had so we had to rent a cot for two nights as well.”

  • Location; great to get to lower water street. Close to farmer's market and wharf. Convenient grocery store next door.
  • Noisy with very thin walls; we heard everything about our neighbors and couldn't sleep. Housekeeping is sloppy.

“A friend's wedding was at the Westin, making it very convenient for us. The hotel is close to Lower water street and is within walking distance to many restaurants, pubs, the ferry, and shopping. Although the concierge and front desk were friendly, housekeeping was sloppy (didn't replace soaps and coffee cups, dust on cabinet). Although newly renovated, the walls were very thin and we couldn't get a good night's sleep.”

  • Location was close to most things and the waterfront.
  • Could hear toilets flushing in other room and people walking above you.

“It was not a 4 star. Could hear people walking above. Toilet being flushed in room above. Air conditioner sounded like thunder.”

  • I liked everything.

“The hotel is conveniently located. The staff were friendly and helpful. Great beds and toiletries. I'd love to stay there again. It was a pleasure to stay there.”

  • I liked the friendly staff, the attractive decor, the comfortable room, the wonderful shower and the hotel's locationn.
  • The cost of overnight parking too high, $18 a night! Bathroom could have been cleaner especially around sink. Bottled water in room too espensive.

“Hotel is excellently situated in downtown Halifax. The rooms are quite luxurious with all the amenities (although I had to request a phone directory). Local phone calls are expensive ($1. a call!) I would have expected the bathroom to be spotless, but it wasn't quite as clean as it could be. Overnight parking is expensive. $18 a night! Staff is friendly and helpful. It was great to have two double beds in the room.”

  • Most comfortable beds. Great staff, loved this hotel.

“Stayed at the Westin 2 times since discovering Priceline. First time there had a king size bed and a harbor view room. Second time around we had a room on the 10th floor and a card for 25% off at the restaurant. Can't ask for more! We highly recommend this hotel to anyone going to Halifax. Most comfortable beds!”

  • Front desk staff.
  • Parking, room closet.

“Basically this is a great hotel. It was a bit difficult to find. The parking was not optimal. The lot (behind the hotel and difficult to find) was very full and we had to walk rather far to get into the hotel. The public areas and restaurant were great. The ultra modern aspect of the bathroom was not very safety conscious. The sink was high and had sharp, marble, right angle corners which were very close to the tub and toilet. If a person is large, or slightly off balance, they could have injuries. There was a walk in closet with safe. Nice---except that the light only went on when the door was open and the door would not stay open unless held or propped. It is easy to find yourself in a dark place!”

  • Extremely friendly and accommodating staff.
  • Would have preferred a harbor view room but ended up with a street view room.

“The Westin Halifax is in a perfect location to start of the harbor front/board walk. Very accommodating staff - met or exceeded every request we made. Restaurant staff were over the top for accommodating.”

  • Prompt service and office space in room.
  • 1st room was dirty.

“Great hotel from the concierge to the front desk, everyone seemed happy to work there and proud of the location. My first room was still dirty, the front desk moved me immediately to a better clean room. Overall for the short stay I was very satisfied.”

  • I really liked the location of this hotel! It was a very nice spot and I felt safe there as I was traveling alone.
  • I think the staff could of been a little more helpful. There were a lot of extra fees for things which added up!

“Other then the extra fees for things this hotel was a great spot and the rooms were very clean! It is in an excellent location and there are lots of things nearby , within walking distance to The Halifax waterfront and downtown area. Very comfortable beds!”
