"I stayed at Novotel South Wharf recently and had a really good experience. The location is spot on — right next to the Convention Centre and DFO, so it was super easy to get around. My room was clean, modern, and comfortable, with a nice view of the city. The staff were welcoming and helpful which made check-in and check-out smooth. Breakfast had plenty of options, though it did get a bit busy at times. The only downside was the parking, which felt a bit pricey. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay and would happily come back again."

Great stay. Well located to many food and shopping options. Great room, clean, well appointed and spacious. The only thing I believe they could do to improve would be to provide toiletries in the room like shower caps etc, or offer them at checkin. Otherwise, could not fault the property.
