Coastal Inn Dartmouth

I had the pleasure of staying at the Coastal Inn in Dartmouth, NS, twice in the last couple of weeks. The room was splendid, the reception welcoming, and the price very much below average. The breakfast was all I needed to start my day. We are both seniors, and if need to stay in the City again, will definitely stay here. Thanks for the recommendation Ruth, and the friendly welcome Wendy. It was noted and much appreciated. Will be back!

I wasn’t expecting much based on the reviews but our stay was more pleasant than anticipated. Our room was massive which was great when travelling with a family of 5. We had a suite with a living room and separate bedroom .The beds were very comfortable as was the pull out couch. It was very quiet. The breakfast was good and the staff was very friendly. The location was great- we used the ferry which was only 5 mins away to go to the Halifax waterfront. A place to stay with breakfast and parking is a definite bonus these days. As mentioned the place is very dated, and the elevator is questionable and hopefully they will some day rid themselves of their rugs. However it is clean, quiet and comfortable which is the most important. We would definitely stay there again.

As far as the rooms, you do get what you pay for. They were very hot and dated but that wasn't the end of the world. Breakfast was great. Customer service on the other hand was amazing. My 7 year old daughter left her stuffed bunnies in the room that she's had since she was born and doesn't sleep without. She was devastated but the manager worked with me and even called me from the post office to let me know the different shipping options I could pay for which was great and we received the bunnies in the mail the following day after it was mailed. The only thing was is that we also received a sweater in the package that was not ours so it may have increased what the shipping cost would have been for us as it took up a lot of space requiring a bigger box. I don't blame the manager for that however, he just shipped what was given to him from house keeping. Overall the experience was good

2 adults and 1 senior with walker access needed. Great accommodations. Rooms were clean. Fully stocked with silverware, microwave, fridge/freezer. On ground level as requested. Breakfast had a range of hot/cold cereal, variety of bread products, yogurt, coffee, juices and fresh fruit to name a few. We will be back again in the spring.

Bedding and towels are clean and in good condition. The complaint is about the tough smell of old carpet in the room and the strong smell of the cleaning products. Good breakfast with reasonable variety of choices, very convenient when you travel with kids. Nice and polite service. The location is convenient, but it is near an industrial zone.
