Commons Inn  

it was a 15 minute walk to downtown Halifax. Breakfast was a very good selection. Room was clean and fresh looking.

was not as close to downtown as what we would have liked

The Staffs were very helpful and really nice. The Hotel was very clean and neat. The location is very nice too, one can step out and quickly and get something to eat because there are restaurants and convenience stores close by.

An attractive, well situated place. The rear parking was convenient. Desk clerks were pleasent.

I have a damaged knee. Climbing stairs (no elevator) was a problem. The clerk, as I was leaving, noticed my walking stick and said that I could have been given a ground floor room. I did not ask for one When I checked in.

We loved the spacious room with comfortable beds and excellent toilet/bathroom facilities. I especially loved the hand-held shower in the bathtub and the hair dryer in the bathroom. The staffs were very friendly and helpful.

The Inn didn't have a lift although it was only 2 storeys of stairs up to the rooms. But after a whole day of walking to and from town, climbing up 2 storeys of stairs to get to the room could be quite a feat, especially for the elderly.

The location as well the ambiance.

I found the breakfast lacking in choices,ie breads could of had buns etc.

Great price and not too far from downtown.

The neighbourhood seemed a bit sketchy. Also the bathroom was a bit small (no bathtub in the room we had). I would recommend Commons Inn to someone on a budget and someone willing to drive - otherwise I would recommend them to spend an extra $50 to get closer to downtown and to be able to walk everywhere.

When we had to change our booking due to a flight cancellation the management were very accommodating and our reservation was held for us without cost.

The double rooms were very small and the furniture filled the rooms!

Helpful staff and comfortable room with good shower. Only a shortish walk to the main downtown area of Halifax.

One slight problem is that there is no lift (elevator). The receptionist kindly carried my heaviest bag up two flights of stairs to my room and no doubt I could have asked for help getting it back down, but this may be a factor to some people, especially as there are steps up to the hotel entrance itself.

Commons Inn is very convenient for exploring Halifax, a lovely city with a great deal to offer. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Rate was very reasonable.

Rooms were a bit cramped and cleaning was sometimes unsatisfactory.

friendly staff , close to down town area

Clean room, quiet, good location for walking to the dock area.

Consider a elevator, narrow stairs, hard to carry luggage in to the upper floor rooms, small rooms, comfortable, suitable for couples.

I like the cozy feeling of the hotel and the friendliness of the staff. The service is good in the sense that it is reliable and efficient.
