Beds were comfortable. Everything was clean. Room services only happens every 4th day or so, if you're concerned about daily service (I'm not). Plenty of counter space in the bathroom. Glad to see the bottle filler downstairs. Parking was a bit confusing, but that probably is normal with downtown locations. Only real criticism is that the water wasn't always hot. One day it was fine, the next day it barely reached lukewarm.

I stayed for three nights and honestly, I couldn’t have picked a better spot. The hotel is right in the centre of everything—restaurants, shops, and even the port are all just a short walk away, which made getting around super easy. The place itself has this lovely, old-school charm. My room was really quiet and the bed was higher than I’m used to, but surprisingly comfortable, I slept like a log every night. The bathroom was huge, which I definitely appreciated.

Rooms are clean a little outdated. There is a fridge in the room, coffee machine, iron and ironing board. There was a charging port with 2 usbs for phones. Only down side is the parking, it's a little bit of a walk. You don't have to go outside to get to hotel from parking lot, which is a bonus. You can use the Skywalker to get to the casino and Scotia Mall.

We walked from the train to the Barrington. In the am we walked back along the boardwalk to the bus station. It was a great way to experience a bit of Halifax in a short time

Staying at the Barrington hotel was an absolute delight. The impeccable service, elegant decor, and attention to detail truly made for a luxurious experience. From the comfortable rooms to the delicious dining options, every aspect exceeded my expectations. The central location was convenient for exploring the city, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure my stay was unforgettable. I can't wait to return to the Barrington on my next visit!

The place was ok, but I had some problems with payment. First they charge a holding fee when I checked in and their card machine doesn’t accept tap.

They had us over a barrel. Apparently the whole place was booked. Crazy expensive for a place that was less good than a standard Holiday Inn or Ramada. The room had a ton of light leaking in from the hallway door. But our problem was the old pillow-top mattress. My back's not great, and it was sagging in the middle. Painfully soft. They didn't have a spare mattress. Not one. So if a person spilled water, a child had an accident, whatever, there is NO SPARE MATTRESS? Wifey asked if the (old) couch was also a sofa-bed. The staff wasn't quite sure(!!!). It was. We asked for more sheets and another comforter. They delivered more sheets. The old sofa was, well, old. The spring mattress in it has lumps, but it was better (firmer) than the bed. The location is prime, but they have competition. Next time we are in Halifax (it's a place we go), we won't stay at the Barrington. Kudos to the nice people in the restaurant. Good value for the food, friendly staff. Front desk... No good.
