“Hotel Halifax places you steps from downtown attractions; I appreciate its direct indoor access to the casino and the convenience of nearby tourist spots. The on-site restaurant's Asian-Australian twist, plus craft beers, creates a memorable dining experience; however, I would suggest that the hotel management take action regarding noise issues and slow elevators reported by guests. Its central location makes it suitable for business and leisure, with spacious suites offering harbor views.”
