Located within very close proximity to the QE2 Hospital in Halifax. Parking... max height for onsite vehicle parking is 6 foot! Otherwise, you may have to park elsewhere. We had an early outpatient appointment at the hospital and came from away for it, the proximity was convenient. You are staying in a building close to the hospital in the commercial area of the city. ...you may hear sirens. There are many other close by amenities, and places for a nice walk. Also, a skating oval with rental skates nearby.
We will be back again should we need it. Bed was clean & comfy, great pillows. A ”large!” TV, lots of channels. A nice shower, food in the ”Cannery” restaurant on site was good. Service, even though it was holiday season was good. Overall, a very nice place to have a sleep!! The only negative was the parking, but then the 4x4 F350, is kind of ...BIG (and 7' 1” tall)! So, I can't hold that against them...!
Associated note; The hospital has a new parkade, with elevated pedway to the Halifax Infirmary on Summer Street, (7 foot clearance.) (Not on maps, street view, satellite or GPS yet!) ($14.50 for the day).
Staff is very nice and helpful. Room has its own atmosphere, building as well, which is taking us back in time. Would definitely recommend it. Also a good value for money.
The bar closed before 10pm and the staff barely spoke to me upon check in. They didn’t tell me how to use the elevator or to access my room which was pitch black when I entered. The card reader you insert your room pass into is finicky and doesn’t always work, takes multiple tries to get in.
The room was alright, bed comfy but the A/C unit was loud.
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.

ผผู้เข้าพักConveniently located close to the airport. They have a free shuttle that runs through the night. Excellent place to stay for middle-of-the-night or early morning flights.
