Hi Jeffrey! We do our best to make it abundantly clear that we are a historic property without elevators - we recommend anyone booking through a third party site like expedia or travelocity thoroughly investigate the hotel that they're booking before committing if they have mobility concerns. At the same time, our guest service team is always happy to help carry luggage- guests never have to carry their bags up stairs if they don't wish to. Wishing you safe and comfortable travel in the future.

This was the perfect place for us to stay for our short visit to Halifax. The rooms are comfy and clean, and the location is just terrific!! We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. The complimentary breakfast was delicious and plentiful. We'll be back to visit Halifax, and when we do, we'll stay at the Halliburton!

Great location within walking distance of downtown

Cons: Given the nature of this type of hotel, I wouldn't change a thing.
Location: We wanted to visit the Maritime Museum--just a few blocks away. The Farmers Market was close as well. Lots to see and do within a short walk.
This hotel was a real treat. Priced comparably with other larger hotels, it had a boutique ambiance and a very attentive staff. A very nice continental breakfast was included. Close to everything. The room we had was small but adequate. Space in the bathroom was limited, but this did not come as a surprise. If you are accustomed to, and expect the types of furnishings found at Hilton and Marriott properties, you may be a little disappointed. But this property makes up for it in other ways. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
