Pros: comfortable bed and great maid service Underground waking to Scotia Square!
Cons: Called ahead to make sure their parking would accommodate a full size truck. Was told yes. Getting in was not a problem but getting out was nerve wracking!! One truck had its side scaped trying to maneuver the tight corner while another had its truck cap scraped while we were there!!!

7.4
Pros: The location and most staff were great. Food was good.
Cons: Rooms were not kept cleaned and aired, dust on floors was a bit tooo much. Training (front desk) and attire (restaurant) of staff NEEDS to be revisited urgently. For a hotel of The Lord's Nelson's supposed standing change should be readily available to its guests...I was told there was no change for a 100 USD! USD should be a currency you readily accept. If there is doubt about authenticity maybe a counterfeit machine should be employed at front desk. Train the staff. Have reliable tour companies on call for guests.

10.0
Pros: Location is perfect, across from the lovely Public Gardens and within walking distance of downtown, university and harbor areas. Staff was courteous and helpful. Breakfast buffet was extensive. Hotel was very clean and beds were comfortable.
Excellent
10.0
Pros: The Lord Nelson is an old fashioned classy hotel with modern amenities. We especially enjoyed the decor of the lobby and mezzanine, and the hotel restaurant which was in the style of a classic English public house. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were very nice and the beds comfortable.
Cons: Parking was a bit expensive at $28 (CAD) a day, and getting to and from the parkade was a bit of an ordeal, but being right downtown these things are expected. Many more positives to outweigh this one minor negative.
Excellent

Pros: The staff was great, excellent service!!
Cons: The insulation in the rooms need to be taken care off, the heater worked to much for a room of its size, near the window it was cold, and on the other side very hot.

Pros: The headline kind of says it all. Usually when I stay at a hotel there's invariably something that goes wrong. I rarely complain, but nevertheless it can leave me with a sour taste in my mouth. But this property has never done anything wrong in my books. This is the second time I've stayed here, and I would definitely recommend it. The lobby is inviting, the restaurant is good, and the rooms are comfortable. No WOW moments, but then again, if you can leave without a single complaint, then there's something to be said for that.
Excellent
8.2
Pros: Great location near restaurants and the boardwalk.
Cons: No safe for valuables in the room, only gave us two bath towels. I had to ask for more, but they did provide them.
Good
7.1
Pros: The beds were very comfortable and the food was great
Cons: I was not impressed with the staff at the hotel who decided to continually knock on my door and tell me that people could not talk in my room. They stood outside the door and would not leave until we stopped talking. No music no tv and 3 people in the room having a conversation. If your walls are that thin that people can't talk you need to re-evaluate your hotel

10.0
Pros: The overall feel of the hotel was welcoming. Lovely facility and well maintained. Staffing was courteous and pleasant and very helpful. We loved the location and the fact that we could walk along the boardwalk and also walk around the city itself from that point. We were pleasantly surprised by a lovely bottle of Champagne in our room as we celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary. As I said, the staff was fabulous.
Cons: It would have been nice to have had an option for breakfast but we were happy to see Starbucks on site and had our coffee and yogurt breakfast each day and saved the extra calories for a wonderful dinner in town on our walks. As for parking, it was an unexpected expense as we thought it was included in cost of reservation. As we found, however, in large cities this is common. Our car was safe and accessible and it was worth the money not to worry.
Located in Downtown Halifax, this eco-friendly hotel is steps away from Neptune Theatre and Halifax World Trade and Convention Centre. Discovery Centre and Spring Garden Road Memorial Public Library are also within 5 minutes. Halifax Station is 12 minutes by foot.

Pros: Friendly staff. Fast and efficient maintenance assistance when we needed door locked on adjoining room which had been left opened. Bathroom toiletries were nice quality.

Pros: Room was recently tastefully renovated, very clean, bed was very comfortable. Lots of nice towels. Room was very quiet. Lots of choice for the breakfast that was included. Friendly and helpful staff. Great place to stay.
Cons: Pool was a bit small and would have liked a hot tub. On Kayak, price shown was in $US, not $C, so wasn't quite the bargain we thought. However - that was our own fault. Still a good deal.

Pros: Location, great room size for value. Full kitchen really had a full kitchen.
Cons: Lobby is so tiny and doesn't feel like hotel. If you are looking to sleep in, keep in mind the very loud construction directly across the street starting at 7am (summer-ongoing 2015) When I got to my room there was a large soaking wet spot on the floor... When I asked I didn't get an answer.. Hmm..

Pros: The location was very convenient for both spending time in the city and driving to coastal hiking venues. The breakfast options were very good, and the staff were very friendly and efficient.
Cons: Noise from other rooms was a problem. Conversations were easily overheard, and the sound from the television in the next room was louder than the (preferred) volume on our own television!

Pros: This hotel is ideally located. Easy to drive into downtown or the water front. Also, just a short drive to explore the small coastal towns. Decent breakfast as well as a nice restaurant for dinner. Service and staff are excellent. Front desk associate, Matthew, was wonderful. He spent over an hour on the phone to straighten out an error by our booking company that nearly left us without a room. He even got them to give us a refund. Such a pleasure to receive such superior service!
Cons: Breakfast can be a bit chaotic a busier times.

Pros: Check in process was abysmally slow, and even though I had checked in online for one room and prepaid for parking, parking was full so had to find another spot. Fortunately, a public garage is right across the street. Annoying though. The desk clerk said he would credit our bill for the prepayment, but failed to do so. That stated, very pleasant staff and nice facility. Good location. Front desk made a great dinner suggestion for us. So things improved after a rough start.

Pros: good breakfast and great location. Easy access to all site seeing amenities & waterfront attractions. Professional, curteous and efficient service at front desk.

Cons: Lack of fan in the bathroom. Pool temperature was a bit too cool to enjoy.
Good
7.1
Pros: Beautiful new rooms, spacious, great location.
Cons: waited for 30 minutes to check in (huge lineup with lots of agitated guests) only one elevator, so waited 10+ minutes to get on the elevator EVERY time we had to use it (ended up giving up and taking the stairs a few times) For $180/night we could have stayed at one of Halifax's other beautiful hotels with less headaches.
