Top Shakespeare by the Sea Hotel Reviews

Cambridge Suites Hotel

8/10 Good

"The 1 bedroom suite was very comfortable and clean. Minor issues were address by staff immediately and to our complete satisfaction. The bed and pillows were also very comfortable. The hot breakfast was good but was lacking the meat to accompany the scramble eggs ( no ham, bacon or sausage) and that I didn’t understand. Finally we enjoyed the use of the rooftop patio on a beautiful warm and sunny early evening which was great! Thank you to all your staff for the friendly and professional manner in which we were treated. We will definitely be back."

Prince George Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Outstanding service accommodating staff and room!"

The Sutton Place Hotel Halifax

10/10 Excellent

"A lovely hotel. We had dinner two different nights in the restaurant. The food and service was wonderful but the music spoiled the experience. Conversations got louder as people tried to speak over the music. Some nice soft dinner music would’ve made dinner so much more enjoyable."

The Barrington Hotel

8/10 Good

"办美签最合适的酒店之一，酒店大堂后面廊桥通道可以直通美国签证领馆"

Moxy Halifax Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"It’s new and modern. Very clean. The staff were exceptional!"

Four Points by Sheraton Halifax

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the location near the harbor in Halifax"

Courtyard by Marriott Halifax Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Front desk staff very helpful re: online access, luggage storage & info re: nearby sites."

Cameo Hotel and Suites

8/10 Good

"This is a refurbished and converted commercial building in the downtown, entertainment district. We had a 2 bedroom suite with a full kitchen with stove, fridge, dishwasher, 3 pc bathroom. It is an open concept living room, kitchen, with large windows that can be opened for fresh air. The building and suite design were well done. We liked that there is complimentary laundry machines on 2 floors. Comfortable beds and the rooms were a decent size. However, be aware that the building backs on to Argyle Street which is a pedestrian only street with several restaurants and bars which play loud music--however the volume was reduced by 11:30 or so. Foam ear plugs are provided, but if you have proper ear plugs, bring them. I slept in the 2nd bedroom, which was away from the sound source and it was quiet in that room. These suites are set up for extended stays."

Halifax Marriott Harbourfront Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Exceptional - everything great!"
