The Best Western is located right on the Lake. It is a fairly central spot in Halifax. The hotel has gone through some major renovations. All for the Better, it was pretty dated.
The new meeting rooms located in the lower level are very nice. The staff here is great. It is a nice hotel, not posh but nice. -

Really pretty hotel--No really! I was really surprised especially since I have never stayed at a Best Western before. We usually opt for B&B but this was a nice change. I didn't know what to expect. The hotel is right on the lake so that's really nice.
They also have a really great hotel mascot: Coco the Chocolate Lab who lives there and is really friendly not to mention super cute =)
The hotel is only a little over a year old and they had some renovation still being done. I think they are working on the fitness center and pool--which sounds great. The lobby was really nice, very well decorated and super clean. The staff at the front desk was very friendly and there was no line to check in. The staff also made some great recommendations for breakfast places.
The room was actually really comfy and pretty large. Everything was spotless-- it looked like no one had ever stayed there before! The sheets very really nice, the bed was really comfy, even the pillows were great! Really simple and classically decorated room. There was an over sized bath tub which was great.
In room fridge was useful to chill the wine. The hotel is about 10-15 min. drive to downtown Halifax. The price was worth the drive. The hotels in downtown Halifax can be really pricey in season. This was under $100 a night! Parking included and free wi-fi--Fantastic deal!
This hotel is perfect for anyone looking to be close to the Halifax scene on a budget.
Tip: Book through the hotel website for really good deals especially on the nonrefundable rooms.Listed in: O'Canada

Hotel is ok. Staff is friendly but there isn't much within walking distance. Bed was really firm and not comfy. Doors and walls not insulated well. One door with connecting room I hear a baby crying all night long. The front door I hear the "house keeping" knocking on every door. " LMAO" Anyways what are you doing in Halifax, NS?
There is a pizza joint and subway closeby. Liquor store outside had its doors locked. Guy inside will buzz you in. That was a pretty freaky encounter. Overall hotel is clean has a indoor pool, exercise room, and a game room. -

great spot! I booked a basic single room and they weren't busy, so they upped me to a top floor room overlooking the lake, which is gorgeous. Feels like you're out of the city but it's a short drive downtown. The rates are competitive with anyone - $107 plus tax for a nonrefundable room, $125 including a cooked breakfast. I ate at the restaurant and was surprised - had excellent Digby scallops in s butter and almond sauce, and a great Garrison beer. Service was super friendly. I get a sense prices are low right now as they have recently renovated and are bringing customers in, so I wouldn't be surprised if they're quite a bit more in a year.
