The place is really beat up. The bed is terrible. The shower is tiny. All the furniture looked like it had been bought at garage sales and just shoved in the room. The "Continental Breakfast" was not even worth my time. Look I know what that means but could I get some cream cheese for my toast not kraft cheese... More

it was a clean, lovely, cosy place to stay. Service was very good. I had a great sleep. It was very close to downtown and the Halifax Infirmary was in walking distance. I would definitely be happy to stay there again.

I stayed at this hotel recently with my family, and I really enjoyed my stay. The staff was very friendly, and my room was great given the price of the room. I had a comfortable sleep, and my room was very clean. The location was great seeing as it was just a bit away from downtown, and the free breakfast... More

I had a trip which included landing in Halifax, driving to Saint John (NB) and going back to Halifax. I chose the Commons Inn because of its vicinity to downtown, and boy I was lucky! the rooms are great, breakfast is very nice to, a 5 to 10 minutes walk to downtown and the price was very good! I had... More

Going to Halifax last minute with no hotel reservation, we stayed at the Commons Inn. It was cheap, considering the rate of other hotels in Halifax. $95 with free parking. Check In was fast, aside from the guy at the desk forgot to give me my ID back (paid cash) and left it under the scanner. Called down to the... More

Though the hotel offers a decent location, it was not worth it. Security is poor at best, with the main and side doors open at all hours and not visible from the main desk. The parking, though it is free, didn't have enough room to accommodate everyone staying there. And finally, WORST OF ALL, the day I checked out, I... More

The hotel is pretty old but still in great shape. I missed not having a desk in my room, but I liked being on the forth floor with some extra windows, so I didn't ask to be moved. The free parking is nice, because it seems to be at a premium in Halifax. I liked the fact that I didn't... More

We have stayed here three times and are quite pleased with this hotel. Yes, it is old and quirky but that adds to it's charm. It is not the Holiday Inn, nor is it priced as such. The price is quite steep, but so are all of the other hotels in Halifax. When I am travelling I look for places... More

Balancing price, location, and quality this is a good place to stay, within walking distance of many of the sites: the Citadel, Public Garden, and the Halifax harbor. There is no elevator, but there is free parking. The staff were helpful. We turn on the AC fan to block out any street noise and slept quite well.
