Halifax Harbour

Reviewed Sep 9, 2022
Five nights at the Courtyard by Marriott Halifax Downtown. Excellent location just one block from the waterfront. Typical Courtyard room, clean, fairly spacious, good AC, nice view of the waterfront. A rooftop patio offers a welcome escape from the summer crowds and a great view. The restaurant has a rather limited menu but there are numerous restaurants in the area.
We have visited Halifax before and stayed at many hotels, this appears to be the best value for the budget.
Date of stay: August 2022
Room Tip: Request higher rooms facing the harbour, short walk up to roof patio.

We were assigned the wrong room on arrival. It had one king bed even though I had explicitly made clear that I was coming with two teen children and had booked a room with a king and a sofa bed. The desk agent chose not to mention the switch at check in even though I had my two teens with me. After I refused the room, we ended up getting a room with two queens, which was OK, but a bit cosier than I intended. On the other hand, the location was good and the showers were effective. It just all felt a bit ordinary for the price.

Standard modern hotel, very similar to other modern hotels so really standard here.

Biggest thing for us was location. It was walking distance to everything. We had a harbour view room and it had a beautiful view. The terrace was also fantastic. After a busy day of sightseeing, it was nice to spend an evening up there overlooking the harbour.

Request the underground parking because the parking lot in front of the hotel was always full.

Would stay here again as it was located right in front of the boardwalk and close to all restaurants.

Although this hotel is at one end of the waterfront it is well situated for all of the major attractions, Citadel (bit of uphill walk), Pier 21, cross harbour ferries and the variety of places all along. Some other hotels were a little further out and not central enough for us.
This hotel seems to be the centre of a lot of activities, weddings, parties and business meetings, but also big enough to handle normal tourist traffic without disruption.
We came here a day before our tour, very useful to be here for this.
Breakfast service can be a bit hit and miss, depends on the number of tour buses staying, but quality was good, as was the evening meal we had on the waterfront..
The only issue we had was understanding some of the check-in staff, fortunately there was a manager on hand to assist.
Alas, do not think will be in the area again, but still have no hesitation in recommending

First problem: this felt more like a Motel 6 than a $300 a night hotel. No service, no room cleaning, nothing. Worst part was that we were there (unknowingly )during Jazz Fest which meant unbelievably loud music from right across the way every night until at least 11 pm. Seriously, I measured it with a decibel app at 85- well Into the Potential Hazard level.
Check the calendar for Jazz Festival and unless you want heAring damage DONT GO anywhere near the harbor when it’s on.

What an amazing location!! Right downtown with the boardwalk literally across the street. Clean and friendly Staff. Rooftop terrace is a must. Be prepared as there is no shade, it's all full sun. Loved sitting up there and relaxing. Starbucks is on site. One thing to be aware of is the parking. Keep to the right past the front doors. You cannot see the ramp to the underground parking right away - almost looks like you are going for the dumpsters.

Room tip: Underground parking.
