I had a nearly perfect stay at The Hollis Halifax, although there were a few hiccups. The location is fantastic, allowing me to explore the waterfront and nearby attractions without needing my car. My suite was spacious and well-equipped, which added to the overall positive experience. However, the parking situation was quite challenging, especially in the rain, and the pool could have used some attention.

I couldn't have asked for a better location. It was perfectly central to all the places I wanted to visit in downtown Halifax. I was just a short stroll from restaurants, shops, and the harbor walk.

Dining

I only ate the breakfast buffet once, and while it was decent, I found it a bit pricey. I would recommend checking out Cabin Coffee or Tim Hortons nearby for a more affordable option. A restaurant within the hotel would have been a nice addition.

The hotel offered decent facilities like a pool that I checked out, but it felt quite cold. Also, the parking situation was less than ideal, as it was not very convenient, especially in bad weather. Valet service might be a good option if you prefer ease.
