I have stayed at the Marriot once since it's been owned by this company and one other time when it was the Casino Hotel. There are up to 6 floors though most of the rooms are on 2-5. There are junior and full size suites as well as king bedded rooms or rooms with two beds. The decor is very nice and as of 2008, they have been refurbishing, a section at a time. The rates were average, about $130 - $175 for a king room depending on time of year and special offers. The bathrooms have toiletries and lovely towels and lots of hot water. There is a flat screen television with webTv access for a cost. They also provide data jacks for high speed internet in the rooms.

The hotel is connected to quite a lot of the downtown office towers by overhead walkway which is convenient if you are there on business. Casino Nova Scotia is also accessible via the walkways. The hotel is right on the harbour so you can request rooms with a water front view. I was part of an organizing committee for an event we held here and the staff couldn't have been more helpful with our needs.

There's a great spa, Interlude, in the hotel as well as a fitness center and indoor pool. The restaurant, 44 North, serves amazing buffet breakfasts and their dining room menu is very good. The pub on site is also very good with a smaller menu.

It isn't a budget hotel but it's not unreasonable and well worth staying here for the location alone. Historic Properties spreads out along the harbour from here and you are only a short stagger away from lots of great pubs and restaurants in the area.

A basic free continental breakfast in that we've found in most hotels was missing; no ice bucket nor a small refridgerator to keep a couple drinks cold. These are amenities we've become accustomed as we travel. They boasted of the free web browser in the room (WebTV), but anything beyond basic news and weather was an extra fee. There was ample closet space, but only 3 small drawers in the entertainment center for our clothes. We were not thrilled with a $* a day fee to park our car in their parking garage. All in all this hotel sparkled visually, but just didn't offer the comforts that we like to have when we travel. (The staff was really nice, though.)

Great location on the Harbor waterfront. Very friendly, courteous staff. Standard rooms just OK - no fridge or microwave. Already over-priced hotel charges $* Extra per day for high speed internet. Hotel Restaurants over priced with somewhat limited menus and mediocre food. Connecting covered walkway to the Nova Scotia Casino seems to be the really major "draw"! There is no comparison to the Raddison Suites on Hollis Street just a few blocks away at essentially the same price - or, somewhat less.

We have just returned from Nova Scotia and thoroughly enjoyed the Marriot. The beds were wonderful and loved the location. We visited the wharf and ate at Saltys 2 times. We were able to sit right on the waterfront and the food was great. We ate breakfast at the Bluenose and it was good and inexpensive. My only complaint. No freebees here! I felt 19.00 to park was expensive and 15.00 to use the internet in the room ridiculous. However the lady at the front desk let me use their internet.. We stayed three nights.

Stayed their numerous times last summer. Great front desk staff, very helpful and all around wonderful hotel. Great location; near everything.
