Courtyard by Marriott Halifax Downtown

Beds on the firm side but comfortable. Views great. Staff lovely, and I can't say enough about their grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup from the bistro. It's anything but basic, and worth it. I wish I could make them that amazing at home. The perfect luxury comfort food to ride out a flight delay and storm.

Excellent waterfront location. Walkable to all the main things on the waterfront! Has paid parking garage, small indoor pool, and small restaurant for paid meals. Decor is nice, but not modern. Only complaint was the noise of construction and garbage truck idling outside early morning - but not the hotel’s fault.

Pros: location. really good location, and some rooms have a beautiful water view. The staff are also very kind and provide great service. Cons: check in is at 4pm which I find too late in the day. The hotel is very old. The elevator doors shriek when closing, there are stains on the furniture, no working fan in the bathroom, and just looks outdated. There are only 2 elevators and so it gets very busy, you are almost always guaranteed to wait and also stop at every floor.

Great place to stay, modern, exceptionally clean, terrace and zen gardens overlook the harbour, nice place to have morning coffee. Hotel is in downtown, close to everything. The only downside is we didn’t have our own thermostat…well we did, it was just connected to the heating system of the hotel. It was quite warm in our room even though we turned the thermostat to cool. Also, our room window didn’t open but I saw that other rooms did. Other than that, it was a great stay!! I would recommend!

Perfect location right close to the action on the Harbourfront. Our room had a beautiful view of the harbour and was very clean and comfortable. Our stay was made extra special by a surprise when we arrived in our room for our anniversary. Would definitely recommend this hotel with the location being the biggest seller.

On the upside: Great location!! Courteous, friendly staff, and comfortable beds. On the other hand: Room was in need of update. The quality of in-room coffee was not good. The fridge didn’t cool sufficiently and was not fixed after multiple calls over our 4 day stay. The room lacked a microwave. Moral of story: don’t bring perishable food to your room if you plan to keep it cool or warm it up. All in all, the hotel had a lot of positives but the drawbacks detracted from living up to the promise of the Courtyard brand (hence the 4 stars).

The Courtyard Downtown Halifax impresses with its unbeatable location and attentive service. While some aspects of the hotel might feel a bit outdated, the redeeming feature is the comfortable beds that guarantee a good night's sleep. If you value convenience and friendly staff, this hotel is worth considering for your stay in Halifax.

Everything was just perfect in this hotel. Enjoyed the location. Staff at reception were courteous and accommodating. Room was clean. View was great. They let us do late checkout as they weren’t busy. Bistro served a mean grilled chicken sandwich. All in all, great stay.
