We were very pleased with our stay at the Commons Inn. Best description - very good value for your dollar. 30 minute walk or $10 taxi to Harbourfront. Our beds were comfortable. The continental breakfast had variety and featured 18% coffee cream! The fridge, the a/c, the TV all worked the way they are supposed to! The staff is very friendly, knowledgable and helpful. Stored our suitcases after check out time on our last day as we took a tour.

Ron, Canada

Paul, Canada

breakfast was very good. had alot of variety. Mom and daughter were so friendly and helpful.

Moira, Canada

The hotel was conveniently close to downtown Halifax, especially the Agricola Street/Gottingen Street area with its pubs and restaurants. It was pleasant, comfortable and welcoming.

David, Canada

The breakfast was good and staff very helpful. Free parking and free breakfast was good as was TV.

Ed, Canada

Pleasant staff with an old world charm of a family run inn. Not the cookie cutter aproach of the big chains. Far cheaper than those chains too! Also 6 mins. car ride to downtown.

Nathan, Canada

Nice big room, great beds and pillows. Top notch wi-fi.

Alan, United States of America

I liked that on explaining that we needed the room for only one night instead of two. We were told that it would be taken care of by Wanda the manager in charge and that all was taken care of.

Sharilyn, Canada

Relative location to downtown. We walked. Staff were very nice and quick to help.

Terri, Canada

There are a couple of restaurants close by and a convenience store. The property has lots of character....antiques and books sitting on shelves. Felt like home away from home.

“Extremely noisy”

- • Stayed 2 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉The door had shifted and you could see the hallway light though it, on the first floor so you could hear absolutely everything At the front desk. Parking lot was over full, had to park on the street, luckily it was a weekend. There was horrendous noise from the floor above our room, from the time we returned back to our room at 8pm, finally called to complain at 1030, assured they would investigate. Could hear another person call the desk and complain (seriously could hear everything from our room), the banging and noise continued. Maybe stopped for 4 hours from like 1-5, and continued again at 5am. After complaining again in the morning the day staff apologized and said after the first complaint they are to talk to the visitors, after the second they are to call the police. Neither of which were done as we could hear the worker at the front and she by no means left the desk at all. Extremely disappointed.

“Small room but clean and well kept.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Deluxe Two Double Bed Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉When we got there we had to put down a $200 deposit which we did not know about when booking on-line. People should be made aware of this when booking on-line. This is to make sure no damage has been done to the room. I also did not like the fact that when we arrived, the person at the front desk was on break having a smoke. At that time there was also another person waiting to be served. Maybe there could be another person at the front desk to serve people who are coming in. As you do not want no smoking in the rooms, I would say it is not proper for the employee to be smoking on-site.
눇I liked the location of the Inn. Room was clean, but very small. . They do serve a good breakfast.

눉Bed was horrible. We complained, but was a waste of time. Second and third night were no better. Emergency exits were partially blocked with junk that should be stored elsewhere.
눇Breakfast was good. Location was close to downtown without downtown prices. Free parking is good.

눉The front desk people twice visited the young people in the room next to us on Saturday night because they were loud and unruly until 12:30 am (10 pm was supposed to be all quiet). The exterior of the building was no long store buy had been covered with vinyl siding.
눇Breakfast was served each morning. Cereal bowls were 4inches wide by 3/4 inches deep. They looked like sauce dishes. The food was cold cereal, juice, coffee, tea, bananas, toast.
