Hotels Near Quaker House (Dartmouth Heritage Museum) in Dartmouth

Only 2-3 front desk staff were respectful, smiling and courteous. The rest were either rude or arrogant, and didn’t seem to enjoy giving a good customer experience. Indoor parking is extremely expensive, but they don’t tell you that the outside parking is permitted for free (they have signs of towing but they do not seem to enforce it as cars are parked there all the time - so if you find a spot, park for free instead of paying 26$+ per day). Room cleaning is requested and not completed automatically. Amenities seem well-balanced. Good enough sized gym and pool is very good and clean. Room furniture is old and building itself is old. Not entirely sure the owners want to renovate anytime soon, but it definitely needs a refresher. Insulation in rooms is awful - lots of noise from outside. I have been in other hotels in capitals and downtowns, and never have I had an issue with outside noise. Halifax is quite the vibrant city so keep that in mind if you wish to stay at this hotel.

Positives: - Convenient location to the Halifax Citadel and the harbor, 2-3 blocks each way. - Good hot water - The room itself is old with limited electrical outlet, but the hotel installed extension cords and additional electrical outlet bases on the nightstand and on the desk to make charging easy and convenient. - The room was also dark due to its original design and age of the building, but the hotel brought in more lights and evenly spread-out the room to ensure no dark area/spot, which I appreciate. Negatives: - Hairs found on top of toilet and floors of the bathroom, lots of short hairs, disgusting - Watermarks on the coffee table and nightstand - Many pin holes on the walls and wall papers - When raising the dirty bathroom issues to the hotel, they sent an inexperienced person, Jared, over to help but the issues did not get resolved and made false accusations about me being rude to him when I was speaking at my normal voice and sharing cleanliness issues. - Toilet dripping all night - Booked for VIP package but did not get VIP service in both room quality and condition as well as staff attitude (particular from Jared) other than waiving the self-parking fee. - When speaking with the hotel manager about the issues after Jared's inability to solve it, the hotel manager plain outright told me over the phone that he did not care how I felt and was not willing to help solve the situation, and sided with his employee, Jared, who had negative attitude and accused me of being rude to his employees. And deflating the real issues, which is disgusting and unclean floors with many hairs. And made suggestions on using towels to ”cover up” all unclean hairs and dirty floors in the bathroom. - The hotel did not own up its own responsibility when dropping the ball on cleanliness and got defensive, worse yet, turned around falsely blaming me for being rude and treating hotel employees badly when it's them who started negative attitudes. Other: - Check in staff, Stella, was efficient but came across as impatient because she kept on cutting me off before I finished speaking. - Olga, the second check-in staff, was more cordial - There is no valet parking. The closet self-parking is across the street, no parking right underneath. In other words, if you sign up self-parking with the hotel, they will send you to a large parking garage across the street, and the hotel will provide you with an instruction slip on how to find it and find your way back to the hotel lobby. The parking garage entrance is on Albemarle St. If you follow hotel's instruction slip carefully, you should find your way back without issues. Always remember where you park. Or just ask people around. The walk from where you park to the hotel lobby is at least 10 minutes assuming you don't get lost. You would cross a big indoor food court and a walkway and escalates before getting back to the hotel lobby. The hotel shares parking structure with Hotel Halifax across the street. - No breakf

Excellent stay and great staff at the hotel. Rooms were really clean and all other complimentary services were great. Hotel is also close to downtown Halifax as well as main streets where you have easy access to all amenities

Hotel modern and clean Lovely staff Valet backed up and took about 20-30 mins to get the car but that’s ok All pretty good except was hoping for a relaxing night after moving my daughter into university and the street noise was overwhelmingly loud Could not watch tv or stay in the room Front desk did change room but much smaller It’s not their fault but do not book water view if you are hoping for a chill night !

Would rate the front desk staff a 8 out of 10 due to the lack of concern about one of the staff. Housekeeping very friendly and helpful and cleaned up when we only ask that our garbage been taken out. Room was very comfortable When the phone wasn't working one of the young front desk staff came up and took immediate charge and fixed the problem. We were looking forward to using the ”hot tub” but who ever is responsible for the hotel's web site should delete the hot tub picture s it hasn't been there, per front desk staff, at least 10 years. The fitness room only has 2 out of 4 of the stationary and Eliptical bike working. Gave up after mentioning it to the front desk staff on two occasions. Had a nice washroom with safety bars, but would suggest bringing a safety mat and there were no safety *****s in the tub. Surprisingly I found out the hotel did not have a liquor licemce so I had to go to another hotel for some ”brown pops' on New Year's eve.

Amazing hotel in the perfect location to get around on foot. Great staff that was eager to please. Room (one bedroom suite) was beautiful. Breakfast was really good. Lots to choose from. Will be returning in the future.

Every aspect was great... enjoyed the modernity in this older style hotel. Clean, quiet, nice room, beautiful beds... wish had had more time to check out the restaurant for evening dining. The breakfast was indeed great... huge orange juice glass, perfect service at the table... thank you,for a,wonderful stay.

Great place to stay, Breakfast was awesome, will definitely recommend this place to stay if u are visiting Halifax. Good customer service. Well maintained , clean hotel.

It was a good stay. The tv stations available were the poorest selection that I’ve seen. They also charged my credit card despite having paid in advance through the app. They did let me stay an hour later to accommodate a meeting. The location and view (ask for lake view) was amazing.
