We stayed 3 nights at the Marriott Harbourfront and loved it! We lucked out and got our rooms for $80 per night on Priceline. We stayed in a 5th floor room for the first part of our trip and then a 2nd floor pool side room for the last night of our trip. Both rooms were spacious and clean and had an extremely comfortable bed. The room on the 5th floor had recently been remodeled and was beautiful. It had granite countertops in the bathroom, expresso colored cabinetry and had soothing white and pale yellow hues. The lobby was very open and airy and was decorated in a minimalist tone with beech colored woodwork, contemporary carpeting and lighting.
We dined at 44 North, the hotel's restaurant, and enjoyed the food and beautiful view of the harbor. The hotel's minimalist decor carried in to the restaurant with the beech colored wood floors, frosted glass panels, etc.
The hotel is right on the harbor's boardwalk and is walking distance to great restaurants and to the Citadel. It is also connected to Casino Nova Scotia via the sky walk system (enclosed pedestrian bridges).
I was not thrilled about the $15.95 per day fee to use the hotel's Wi-Fi or high speed internet, but was able to access the internet via dial-up using my company's 800-number. I was also a little discouraged that we had to pay $20 per day to park in the hotel's parking garage. Not something I expected in a smaller city.
We had a minor glitch during our stay in that the fire alarm tripped at 5:00 a.m. on the morning of our departure. The hotel staff were unsure of why it went off, but we appreciated the fact that it worked! I would have like the extra sleep, but this did not tarnish our overall wonderful experience at this hotel.
I don't want to give the impression that we were unhappy, because we loved this hotel and would definitely stay there again. We emphatically recommend this hotel to everyone!
