Top Shakespeare by the Sea Hotel Reviews

Red George Inn and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the location and was very clean. Great restaurants very close by. Would stay here again."

Cambridge Suites Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The front desk staff were super helpful. The complimentary breakfast was fabulous-- more than typical continental breakfast and the fitness centre was well equipped. On top of everything, the location was perfect, across the street from the citadel and mid way between the harbour boardwalk and the public gardens."

The Barrington Hotel

8/10 Good

"This is an older hotel, and does have some very, superficial, signs of wear. Many moons ago, it was part of the Delta chain so has been very well maintained. Room was large, and don't get me started on how comfortable the bed is, I wanted to take it home! Not a major deal...and I would certainly stay here again! My only 'real' negative is there's no on-site parking. It's not far away, in the Scotia Square mall, and having my ticket validated wasn't a huge deal. I think it was more having forgotten about driving in Halifax (more than a few years since I drove in that city) especially on a night on a hockey game. The hotel is extremely centrally located so driving wasn't a deal-breaker, and Halifax transit gets to most parts of the city in good time."

Prince George Hotel

8/10 Good

"The best part of the staying is the hotel location. We found the hotel very expensive for what they offer."

The Lord Nelson Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room"

Garden South Park Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Outstanding service and a gorgeous room."

Cameo Hotel and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Honestly, was wonderful start to finish. I was a bit nervous with the self-service aspects, but the instructions were clear and the room exceeded expectations. It was so comfortable and I felt right at home. Everything start to finish was great and truly could not have been better. I was there for a conference and it made it so much easier knowing I had a clean safe place to return to. I’m so grateful, thank you!"
