Good stay at Westin Nova Scotian
Had a great stay, staff were friendly and helpful, our room was clean and comfortable and the pool and hot tub were nice after a long day of shopping and sightseeing. The lobby was cozy and beautifully decorated for Christmas. The only small hiccup was parking. It’s $25/day and on my second night there was no parking at all due to a Christmas party in the ball room. After driving in circles for 30 mins hoping for a spot I decided my only option would be to upgrade to valet parking as they had spaces. Other than the parking we had a great stay and would return next time we’re in the area

Was very disappointed with the check in process. Did early check in the night before, arrived at 230( check in is at 3), room was not ready, waited an hour still no room and had to complain to the manager. Got a room. Then got a text at 522 that my room was ready.

It was a quick check-in. Room was pretty clean and had everything we needed. The sleep aromatherapy vial by the bed is a nice touch! The pool is also open until 11, which is really nice because by the time we got home from supper, we still had time to go swimming. The shower has a rain shower head, which is also a nice touch. Although the parking is easy, the fee is steep. The elevators are quite slow and check-out was also a bit slow, as for some reason all of the workers were in the back for a period of time and a line accumulated.

Westin is a beautiful historical site filled with charm. Remember some rooms are very small and every bathroom I have had is really small. Staff always seem to be slow at check in however, restaurant is excellent. It is very expensive for breakfast but, it is excellent. Parking is outside and easy to access with large vehicles (hard to find in Halifax). Beds are very soft and I personally don’t find them comfortable. Great Location!

Initially we were given a room on a low floor; there was a very loud fan/generator outside that was quite noticeable and annoying. Surprisingly, the staff seemed unaware, but found us a room on a higher floor. I would definitely recommend requesting a higher floor - the noise of the fan/generator can still be heard but is much less intrusive the higher up the room is. There were many events at the hotel during our stay, so we opted to walk to the waterfront area rather than try the hotel restaurant.
