Very nice hotel

We checked in to this historic hotel close to downtown Halifax to celebrate our wedding anniversary. This hotel is an early 20th century landmark, not overly ornate, but classic and tasteful. The room was quiet and comfortable, with high quality beds and linens. When the front staff heard that we were celebrating our anniversary, they left us a lovely gift of a bottle of champagne and a box of chocolates with a note from the hotel team. This was unexpected and appreciated. All in all, we loved our stay.

I guess the only think I wonder about is the parking charge. I was told while checking in that parking was $34 or 35 a day. But on the sign out side it’s $2.00/hr or $20 a day. Why are your guests charged an extra $15 a day??
