Colleague and I stayed at Howe Hall for a conference. We called the front desk every single night for noise disturbances - drunk visitors wandering the halls and making a ruckus at 3AM. Staff didn’t do a thing about it. We had to ask twice to change rooms, and our electrical outlets didn’t work! Won’t be back.

My stay was perfect, fit everything I needed. I had a friend who unfortunately could not take advantage due to your pet policy. It would be nice if their was a solution for people with small well-behaved dogs to stay. Thanks.

I think this is a really great alternative to a hotel! I would definitely recommend this to anyone coming by for a shortish stay, and the staff is very polite and kind. Only thing to write home about was the shared bathrooms. Though they were clean, the motion sensor lights and the half open doors are terrifying at night lol. Other than that, great alternative!

Really solid cheap stay in a prime location for enjoying downtown halifax. Access to dalplex is also a really nice accomadation. Only downside really is that the higher floors get hot in the summer and the fan is pretty small

There was a subtle but frustrating chirp every ~30 seconds coming from the hallway, maybe a smoke alarm with low battery. I reported it after a sleepless first night but it remained unresolved on my second night. This made it hard to sleep.

Shower only had cold water and when you closed the door there was a 1cm gap all the way down which was uncomfortable since it is all gender bathroom. The door for my bedroom locks automatically which would have been nice to know in advance. The price is good, area good too
