Jetted tub was dirty and jets need to be cleaned as gunk came out of them while I was in the tub. Room was dusty. Over night front desk guy saved my life with a glass of milk delivered to my door in the middle of the night to help with awful heart burn. Amazing service thank you

It is very convenient for the Saturday morning farmers' market, the rail station, Spring Garden and the harbour boardwalk. Indeed, most of Halifax downtown is within walking distance but watch those hills.

The staff was very helpful and the room was great -- they had upgraded us before we even got there! I can't think of a single thing to complain about. The restaurant was expensive, but we did like the half-price appetizers for happy hour. I'll definitely stay there again.

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.
