Coastal Inn Halifax

I was triple charged for one room 1 night any on my VISA Card. Charged three nights of staying just one night and just discovered the over charge when I received my VISA Statement Nov16/23. In addition the company charged double on my VISA for one additional nights stay on my return trip back to Ontario. Not happy that I have to go through dispute resolution with VISa if not sorted out sooner than later with the Hotel Operator!

My experience is good but i feel update is required to the hotel rooms, hotel provides breakfast included in the room charges.
Need better toiletries

The hotel is a bit old and the design is anything but modern. Nevertheless, everything is clean, the staff is very friendly and accommodating. The pool invites you to cool off a little and the breakfast is quite acceptable.

I stayed at the Coastal Inn in mid-Oct and have recommended it to several people since then so I thought I may as well leave a review! I was pleasantly surprised how spacious the 1 bedroom suite was for the price I paid. I’ve been staying in corporate hotels for work and I’m so glad I tried something different for personal travel because the Coastal was so much better. I loved having a little kitchenette, a living room, and a bathtub. The front lobby feels very cozy and welcoming, and the staff are super friendly.

We arrived in Halifax Friday night and had a nightmare with our AirBnB, and booked a room in the Coastal Inn the same night. After explaining our situation they made sure our room was ready early so we could check-in in the morning. It was an awesome customer experience and I would 100% book this hotel again. We had a big room, which was clean. Breakfast was included, which was as expected. Thanks again for saving our trip!

Comfy bed. Quiet room. Front desk staff was helpful and very friendly. She gave us lots of good advice on trails in the area

This is a great location, when visiting the city!
The room was large and we'll layed out.
Staff was very helpful and friendly.

Great location,
We booked through @bringfido we understood the additional pet free at check in of $35 /each.
We were also charged an additional $20 for ground floor which I feel should be included in the additional pet policy fee.
The beds are very comfortable and the rooms clean.
When we first checked in our room had a terrible smoke smell and our request to change was accommodated.
The grounds are not well kept, they are completely littered with cigarette buts around the building perimeter.
Good grassy area for dogs to relieve themselves.

Horrible experience in this hotel！breakfast is poor and all of the food is cold.and the price is higher！

No wifi or very weak slow one. They even asked me to call the tech support for troubleshooting. Witch I did and the answer is sorry no wifi tonight. We are still working on it. Four nights with no internet.

Stayed one night, clean place with great service, a bit far from activities. Loved the breakfast, great healthy choices

Extremely nice & friendly hotel, Location is close to loads of stores, and there is a pool and free breakfast, Will stay here again

We had a suite with a king-size bedroom. Very spacious, they could improve on their room cleaning and vacuuming of rooms due to carpet allergies. It was brought to their attention and taken care of that same day.
Rooms need to be vacuumed every 2 days, especially behind night tables and certain furniture as it collects dust.
We were there for 2 weeks now in June 2023, and overall, it was a nice place.

Not a bad place to stay.but, unfortunately for us, we arrived while the front clerk was having a snack.extremely curt bordering on rude.

The room itself was basically like any other hotel room.but do exercise a little caution with the shower; the floor is extremely slippery and there isn't a bath mat.

There is a pool, although we didn't utilize it. The exercise room isn't currently available, but appears adequately equipped.

One of the highlights? THEY HAVE A LAUNDRY on the 2nd floor! A GREAT amenity when you're traveling and swimming in the ocean. The downside is, the washer and dryer accept loonies only, and a dryer load is only 45 minute for $2.only a tiny load would be dried in that time. There's no change machine, but the front desk will supply loonies (but REALLY didn't want to bother the clerk again.). Alternatively, you could try to use bills in the snack/drink machines on the main floor (which will give change IF you can get the machine to accept your bills).

The "Continental Plus" breakfast is somewhat lacking the "Plus" part.essentially an assortment of bagels/muffins/bread, cereal, coffee and juice.

There is adequate parking around the hotel and main floor guests don't have to bring their luggage through the lobby.they have patio doors to the parking area.

Traffic around the hotel is clockwise with two blind corners so exercise a little caution.

There is a Tim Hortons adjacent to the hotel, which makes weekday traffic in the vicinity VERY busy.if you want a Tim Hortons coffee, consider opting for a location down the road. If you're planning on transiting Halifax (to Dartmouth) during rush hour, have an idea where you're going.it's very fast moving.

Value for the money? On par if you're trying to avoid Downtown Halifax (traffic or hotel fees).

Loads of parking. Quiet area. Regular hotel. Only one staff for check in which meant there was a wait. Everyone was nice though. Room was ok, but we found a used shot glass and a used tissue in a corner of the room.cleaning ataff needs to check every corner. Breakfast was bread, cereal, oats or eggos. Some cold boiled eggs. The room was fairly cheap so we can't complain, but it needs to be thoroughly cleaned.

Enjoyed our stay. Breakfast isn't what it used to be. Nothing hot except toast and bagels. There were eggs to heat up and some frozen pancakes and waffles. Little disappointed

Dirty Smelly and Unfriendly
Had to leave shortly after arriving the first room one bed had been slept in and not changed, the second room carpets smelled bad and the chemicals used to freshen the room gave off a super sweet odor causing our sinus and throat's to get irritated.
When first arrived, Kimberly said we were to get a newly finished room before noticing our service dog, then told us that room wasn't available because of covid.
Left and booked into the Comfort Inn for $10 more, comfortably checked into a clean, respectable room within 40 minutes of leaving the undesirable hotel. Will never return to Coastal Inn. There was an obvious disrespect for people with disabilities. Second time this has happen, first time lodged a complaint with corporate office, we were assured that any room was available for anyone with a registered service dog. Halifax Coastal Inn is not following corporate guidelines or legal rights of disabled with a service dog.

Staying at this hotel was a chore. Not enough staff at the busiest checkin time so we had to wait for quite some time. They lost our reservation and we ended up not getting the king room we paid for. The consolation was 2 queen beds for the same price. Lastly we then were told we would get the remotes for our television in 5 minutes. 1 hour later we had to go remind them that we didn’t have the remotes. Another hour later we still didn’t have them and had to leave for our dinner reservation. On returning to the hotel later on the staff had entered out room when we were not there to drop off the remotes. This I find quite unacceptable as we did not give permission for staff to enter our room. I do not understand why we did not have access to them at check in. If it is a case of them going missing they could hand them to us when checking in. Instead of entering my room when not there.

Room was dated but clean. Was not expecting elaborate and the beds were comfortable. Overall look of the place was in reasonable shape. Overall for the price this was not worth it.

The room was large, bright and friendly furnished. The staff friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, the pool was very cold and there was no way to change there without being monitored by the camera.
