Top Shakespeare by the Sea Hotel Reviews

The Halliburton

8/10 Good

"Very clean & Comfortable bed. Bed comforter was thick and had to peel it off. Nice hot shower. Called 3 hours before our arrival to let them know we would be in late and was not told we had to submit a breakfast order that evening. On arrival Staff was courteous. Parking in the back was a little tight."

The Barrington Hotel

8/10 Good

"Comfortable bed and clean room. Friendly staff and good breakfast"

Cambridge Suites Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Centrally located within easy walking distance of historic sites, museums, and restaurants. Good value for money and breakfast included."

Red George Inn and Suites

8/10 Good

"Very well located close to the board walk and restaurants. Would stay here again"

The Lord Nelson Hotel & Suites

The Westin Nova Scotian

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay at the hotel. It was close to the waterfront and to the Hertz car hire. The hotel room was clean and the bed extremely comfortable. We paid extra for breakfast and had the buffet which didn’t disappoint. We would definately come and stay here again."

Courtyard by Marriott Halifax Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Chambre propre et spacieuse; personnel de soir dévoué et courtois; de même que celui du restaurant qui nous a contacté un menu spécial selon nos goûts; hôtel super bien situé près de la promenade et des bons restaurants de fruits de mer. Bref, un séjour de 3 jours fort agréable !"

Garden South Park Inn

8/10 Good

"The Inn is in an old victorian building and is conveniently located for downtown. It is right across from the hospital so is great if you have family or friends there. We stayed 5 nights for a vacation and found the staff very helpful; when we had trouble with noise in our first room they moved us the next day to another, much quieter, room. The curtains in our room were half off the rail at the top and were much too high a reach for us to fix - inconvenient but not a deal-breaker. Breakfast was pretty good with a decent variety of cold foods. We could use the parlour / breakfast room to bring our own food in for dinner, or have a drink with our friends, or play cards in the evening. The parking in the back is very limited but we did get a spot when we needed it, which was good because the street parking is pay from 8 am to 4 pm and it could really add up. All in all I would recommend it."
