I had a nearly perfect stay at The Hollis Halifax, although there were a few hiccups. The location is fantastic, allowing me to explore the waterfront and nearby attractions without needing my car. My suite was spacious and well-equipped, which added to the overall positive experience. However, the parking situation was quite challenging, especially in the rain, and the pool could have used some attention.

My suite was well laid out with a small kitchen area, comfortable seating, and a separate bedroom. It felt spacious enough for three people without feeling cramped. However, I did notice some dust and the overall cleanliness could have been improved.

I couldn't have asked for a better location. It was perfectly central to all the places I wanted to visit in downtown Halifax. I was just a short stroll from restaurants, shops, and the harbor walk.

I only ate the breakfast buffet once, and while it was decent, I found it a bit pricey. I would recommend checking out Cabin Coffee or Tim Hortons nearby for a more affordable option. A restaurant within the hotel would have been a nice addition.

Facilities

The hotel offered decent facilities like a pool that I checked out, but it felt quite cold. Also, the parking situation was less than ideal, as it was not very convenient, especially in bad weather. Valet service might be a good option if you prefer ease.
