We really enjoyed our stay at the Westin. The room was very clean and beautiful. It was quiet. We really enjoyed the pool and that it had towels provided. The location is great. Bus stops close by, grocery store next door and discovery centre across the street. Would definitely stay again.

A Hotel

Was in Halifax for a business conference, hotel was selected by the association. 30 minutes or so from the airport, check in took a little long as there was only one girl at the desk, which was brutal with all of us coming in. Besides that everything else was good / up to standard.
