Loved this Beat Western Plus!

As nice a Best Western Plus as we have stayed at. We were there recently as part of our day/night in Halifax. It backs on to chocolate lake with a wonderful outdoor patio for dining or even just drinks. There is a nice bar and grill inside as well. Breakfast was lovely, as were all the staff. Will definitely recommend this hotel to our friends.

A nice hotel a little further out

This is a nice hotel with excellent bedding. It overlooks a lake. The breakfast was above average. The workers were friendly. Unfortunately, this hotel is farther away from most Halifax attractions, and parking is difficult.
