The Westin Nova Scotian Guest Reviews
Over all hotel is wonderful, HOWEVER!!!! My confirmation said "OFFERING UNIQUE CITY OR HARBOUR VIEWS" My room was on the 2nd floor (3rd floor is US). If I stood on the back of a chair on my tip toes and stretched I could see the harbour. Front desk said the hotel was booked. I was only there for one night etc. My suggestion: GET A ROOM ON A FLOOR ABOVE THE 4TH FLOOR OR YOU WILL HAVE A SCENIC VIEW OF THE BLACK ROOM.......

The staff were friendly and helpful. I arrived a half hour before official check-in time and just by asking "will I get a better room if I wait?" was checked in immediately and given a so-called "premium view" room. The view was of the water, much better than it would have been looking the other way. So that was good. The room itself was fine, the bed comfortable, furniture nice enough. No complaints. I could even open a small window. Fresh air! Nice. Bathroom was fine. Spotlessly clean. So far, everything you need, right? Well, not if you think in a modern hotel you should get free wi-fi! So, FAIL, there. On the plus side, though, two cups of brew it yourself starbucks coffee from a modern machine. Easy, fast, good-tasting in-room coffee. It's funny, re-reading this review, the lack of free wi-fi really coloured my impression. With that and one of those little sewing kits you used to get in your amenities basket (missing), along with the plastic shower caps my wife likes (also, not there) and the extra shampoo and conditioner bottles (they were in the tub's soap dish) ...my review would have been 4 across the board. Westin, if you're smart enough to be reading this, it's the little things (amenities, continental breakfasts included [nope], and the essential things (did I mention free wi-fi?) that make all the difference. And really, these things are all table stakes now, aren't they? Not at the Nova Scotian apparently. Oh well. This review app asks me for the bottom line - would I reco this hotel to a friend. I'll select YES, but really, it depends on what you're looking for in a Halifax hotel. What do you want to be close to? All I can say is do your research. It's not bad if you're visiting your kid/s at Dalhousie/Kings University, for example.

My daughter is considering Dalhousie University. This was our first trip to Halifax - but won't be our last. The location of the hotel plus the amenities and ease of access helped to make this a trip worth repeating - regardless of her ultimate decision. My only complaint would be the size of the beds. All 3 of us are close to 6" tall. 2 double beds are not big enough for any of us to share.
