Residence Inn by Marriott Halifax Downtown

We had a wonderful experience at this hotel. We were upgraded to a two bedroom suite. It was spacious with a full sized kitchen, table, living room, and two bedrooms each with a full spacious bathroom. One room even had a walk in closet. We are a family of four and we're so grateful for the extra space and bathroom. The room was clean. Breakfast was very good and the breakfast room was clean and modern looking. Never enjoyed a hotel stay as much as we did this one. Thank you for going above and beyond!

Came here on a vacation with my family. Rooms are in good shape with kitchenettes in each of the rooms. Good AC system that works fast, beds run a little bit firm. Location is right in the heart of downtown Halifax, tons of shops and restaurants within walking distance as well as decent sights to see nearby. Now the reasons I'm not giving this place a 5. The parking garage is tiny with only a 6' clearance. Big trucks or SUVs will not be able to park on site at the hotel. Biggest issue though is the noise at this location, this hotel is surrounded by a lot of bars with live music, often going late. Unless you can sleep through noise, this may be a problem. The room doors are also heavy, they click loud and you will hear it if any surrounding room opens or closed their door without being exceedingly gentle about it. Overall, if you're looking for a prime location in Halifax and looking to experience the city with minimal walking, great spot if you're willing to put up with the surrounding noise of the city. If you're a light sleeper though, or are coming with a large vehicle, you may want to keep looking for other options.

Great staff and location. Hotel can be very noisy with so many bars in the area. At times ear plugs or a white noise machine, which they offer guests, are a must. But again, the staff in the entire hotel are great. The breakfast buffet was good and provided added value. We will stay here again.

Staying at this hotel for two nights in September 2025, conveniently located next door to my conference venue in Halifax, was a generally pleasant experience. The room itself was a definite highlight – spacious, well-lit, and thoughtfully equipped with plenty of outlets and USB ports. The convenience of an in-room kitchen with utensils, constant lobby tea/coffee, and helpful luggage storage at reception were all greatly appreciated. The breakfast offering was also quite good. The rating of four stars reflects a few areas that could be improved for an even better guest experience. A faint, unaddressed smell in the bathroom was noticeable. On Thursday night, the noise from the pub across the street was significant, making it somewhat difficult to fall asleep. Additionally, the lack of an in-room safe, a non-operational juice machine at breakfast, and the absence of a tea kettle in the room were minor inconveniences. I also noted that the room's vent did not effectively direct airflow towards the bed. Addressing these points would elevate the stay from very good to exceptional.

I stayed at the Residence Inn by Marriott in Halifax and overall had a great experience. Suraj at the front desk was incredibly friendly, professional, and made sure we were comfortable in Room 502. His service was exceptional. Except for some noise, everything about the stay was really good. Thank you, Suraj!

Rooms are a generous size with sitting area and kitchen. The basics: shower was good (water pressure, clean), towels were fluffy, bed was pretty comfortable. Free street parking in the weekends (parkade was full). We arrived late (like, so late it was early the next day) and had to ring a bell to get in. There was a bit of a wait until someone responded. In the end, the mobile key provided access before the front desk who wanted to know our name before letting us in. Not ideal when you are just really tired and I had messaged that we were arriving at that time. The hotel was kind of loud in the morning (doors, people) but hard to hold it against the hotel when we were trying to catch up on sleep after 8am. My rating reflects expectations for a 3 star hotel.

I had a nice room on the fourth floor. Right downtown next to many establishments. Hotel staff were very nice. Thank you for all of your help Jasleen!

Room was clean and service impeccable. Had the best check in experience with Jasleen, who went above and beyond to meet my needs. Would recommend
