we stayed at the marriott harbourfront this weekend. when i booked i was actually picturing the westin, so i was really surprised when the cab dropped us off here. it ended up being a great home base for taking in ecma shows.
price: around $150 per night, which seems normal for downtown halifax
bathroom: nice, and the shampoo smelled minty, which i loved
pool: yes, and a nice big hot tub
breakfast: none, unless you upgrade for $30 per night. we ended up doing this because i was using points. the breakfast was really nice, with eggs, fruit, muffins, lox, etc. though if you aren't in a hurry, it's probably more cost effective to just go for breakfast at one of the restaurants nearby
tv: good channels. i watched the requisite kardashian marathon. addictive
location: probably the best part of this hotel. you can take breezeways to the casino, the delta, lots of restaurants. so you barely have to wear a jacket, even in winter, which is cool
parking: we cabbed from the airport, but there appeared to be a huge parking garage that you could pay extra to park in.
notes:
- my reservation was messed up when we got there, i think because i was using points. but the front desk was quick to make it right. very important
- the front desk staff were also cool about printing off ecma tickets and stuff for us
- there's a starbucks in the lobby. i love starbucks, so this is a big plus in my mind
