    Today I was at the Marriott for a seminar WOW what a hotel. At night from the outside in the courtyard the trees are lit up with white lights it is just beautiful. Walking into the hotel on the left hand side nice granite tables which were set up at the breakfast area. Beautiful fireplace to sit around and have a drink at the bar that is opened at 4pm.

    Down the hall was beautiful pool and work out room all convince of the hotel when you stay there. We were actually in a conference room all day which was nice but yes I would rather have been at the bar or in the pool.

    I must say one thing that the Marriott has is excellent service, unbelievable. I mean if we went out the the room they had peppermint paddies at the tables when we came back each time. The lunch was great nice sandwiches both meat and veggie sweets and drinks. Breaks were fruit skibobs, delicious.

    One thing that I will always remember from the courtyard is Harold he was the nicest man that I have come across in a long time. Great customer service skill, engaging and I love the kisses, Hershey that it. What a doll. If we all had employees like that a business would run like a well oiled machine.

    Happy with the price, the size of our room, the view and the especially the location and the staff seemed friendly and attentive. A few things knocked this down to 3-stars from 4.

    Check in time is at 3pm. We arrived at 1pm, dropped off our bags and headed down the boardwalk to the Maritime Museum. We returned just before 4pm. And no rooms were ready. By this point we had been on the go since 7:30am EST and were just too tired to do anything else. After some gentle cajoling from my partner (we noticed that being angry wasn't getting the other customers anywhere) we eventually got a room.

    Our room stank of cigarette smoke. Normally I would have requested another on the spot but considering what we went through at check-in I don't think they had anywhere else to put us. We opened the one window as much as it could go and eventually the room aired out.

    We ended up leaving the window open a lot.  Even though we had climate control for the temperature the room was really, really dry.

    On our last night we got the fleece blanket out of the closet to throw on the bed. It was very comfy. It was also covered in long, dark hairs that were not ours.

    I don't want this to be a negative review because for the most part we were very happy with our stay in Halifax. Looking back on our trip, the good things about the hotel were what I expect of anywhere I stay and in the end the small annoyances are what stand out.

    I have never been to a hotel with such incredible service. The customer service here is excellent and the whole staff makes you feel like you're in a great place. The location is fantastic and the rooms are clean and spacious. I stay in hotels every week for my job, and this is one of the best I've stayed in.
