First time staying here and won’t be the last! Our room was modern and very clean. King size bed was comfy and there was a choice of pillow firmness. Big bathroom with a huge shower! One thing I noticed, no smell in the room. Just fresh and clean. We paid about $60 less than where we usually stay and liked our room much more. I saw a review that said they had to pay for their parking. Not sure why, because parking is included. We left too early to take advantage of the breakfast, so no review of that.

Nice hotel. The room and bathroom are spacious. The bed is very comfortable and big. The staff is careful and attentive. There’s a Wendy’s and a Tom Horton’s nearby. The pool is a bit cold, but nice. It’s a bit far from downtown Halifax, but I went out around 8:30 a.m and was back around 7:30 p.m., which was OK.

The Coastal Inn Halifax was a clean and comfortable place to stay. Overall, it’s a pretty standard, generic hotel — nothing particularly fancy, but it was clean, comfortable and served its purpose well. The complimentary breakfast was probably the weakest part of the stay. There were cereals, bread, bagels and fruit, but there were no hot breakfast options like eggs, bacon or sausage. It was fine for grabbing something quick in the morning, but definitely nothing to get excited about. The hotel does have an indoor pool, which was small and quaint but clean and enjoyable. One thing I really appreciated was the on-site laundry. After travelling for a full week, being able to wash our clothes was a lifesaver! The washer and dryer were $4 each, with detergent and dryer sheets available for $1.50 each. Overall, a clean, comfortable and convenient place to stay. Nothing luxurious, but it had the basics we needed and the laundry facilities were a huge bonus for anyone travelling for several days.

The hotel is really nice, the staffs are very welcoming and professional. I was checking-in late and the front desk staff helped me retrieve my food order and kept it safe until my arrival. The room was well ventilated, it had good lighting and the bathroom was clean, spacious and stocked with enough hygiene necessities. I slept really well as my room was calm and the temperature was adjustable. My only issue was the hair strand and little stain on the bedding. The pool looked clean but was too tired to try it out. It is open from 6am to 11pm. Note, no lifeguard so swim with caution.

Clean rooms and very comfortable beds. Has indoor pool. Breakfast is provided; pre-made pancakes, waffles, boiled eggs, selection of breads, bagels, english muffins, cereal and yogurt. Laundry one washer and dryer 2nd floor $4 to wash $4 to dry.

***EDIT*** I understand that these things happen, and that the safety issues were paramount. I do not appreciate a straw man argument being thrown forth. Nothing in what I wrote says that you were dismissive of the safety of the guests. It was your attitude towards talking with a guest that was the problem. Before you realized I was coming around the corner you said “Finally I can go home and stop thinking about the damn pool!” You caught yourself AFTER blaming children as the issue. There was no interest in compensation when I said the positive reviews of the pool was why we came here. Just “it is what it is.” Again… lack of ethical customer service. $614 for two rooms for one night, only to be talked at when an issue arises. Not a bad place, but the pool was suddenly closed. When I talked to the manager I got talked at. Very dismissive, very rude, incredibly uncaring, and nothing will be done if an issue arises in the way of compensation. My kids are really upset about the pool, and I am incredibly disgusted with the lack of ethical customer service.

Clearly they are working at improving things, but the price they are charging is totally out of whack with the experience and leads to disappointment. We were put in a newly renovated room, and it was nice and clean, but the quality of the work was poor. Ripped wall paper in the bathroom and clearly rushed. It was also pretty small. We had booked the room as part of a team, travelling with kids, and there was no wifi, and the TV wasn’t configured or connecting with the internet. Pool was tiny, and had no towels, had to go ask for some. Breakfast was fine, but just a little odd…lukewarm beans, and boiled eggs wrapped in plastic and closed with scotch tape? Toast and cereal was fine. On leaving the staff at the desk asked us how everything was, and I mentioned the wifi and TV weren’t working. The staff person said “that just happens sometimes” no apology or any attempt to address. I will say all the staff we dealt with were friendly though and we never felt unwelcome. If the room was $120-140 a night it would be a decent value. But at $229 it is not worth it and feels like a rip off. In the elevator they have a photo of all the properties they own, clear that the management is focused on expansion rather than creating a good product for guests and supporting the good staff they have.

I'm not being rude just sharing how I feel. We stayed 2 nights cost us around $250 Jan 2026 Lobby: under construction but has potential to look really nice. Ladies at the front desk were very friendly. Pool: very small, my kids were pretty bored after 30 minutes. We ended up finding a rec center to go swimming at instead. Rooms: Dated carpet and wallpaper (currently doing renovations), mattress was comfortable. I didn't like the smell of the cleaner that was used before we got there so bought an air freshener. Services: It was a bit annoying that we were out of our room Saturday from 10:30- 5pm and at 5:10 the maid knocked on the door to clean the room. She only changed the towels and made the beds so didn't take long but was still inconvenient. I would have liked a quick vacuum as the kids had made a bit of a mess. Breakfast: yogurt, cereal, toast, english muffins, bagels, beans, hard boiled eggs only, eggos and toaster pancakes, Coffee and juice. Location: was good for us it was close to everything. But don't expect a nice few out your room window. It was a nice stay.

Room is very clean and shower is so big! Guest service is excellent! Five stars for all! Great way to kick off the new year ?

Aimee/Amee was an outstanding part of our stay at Coastal Inn. We were so excited for our stay there after our interaction with her. I’m not even sure of the right words to say because of how fantastic she was. Please pass this review onto her boss. Employees like her are few and far between! Thank you so much to her for not only brightening our day but putting ear to ear smiles on our faces and being there for whatever we needed.
