Delta Halifax

Stayed at the Delta Halifax, not to be confused with the OTHER Delta located across the street, during our long weekend getaway to Halifax back in April. There isn’t much too great or too bad that can be said about this hotel really. Parts of it are very new and updated while others remain dated.
The rooms were comfortable and clean and our rooms were kept in great condition during our stay by hotel cleaning staff. The bathroom was a bit sad with a bathtub shower which was dated and had very low water pressure.
We had a snack and a couple of drinks in the lobby bar and the bar tender there was really amazing and super funny (forgot the chaps name but he was a treat). Less can be said about the Hotel Concierge as I decided to use «old school Unilocal» and ask the Concierge where I should go for food and she couldn’t give me an answer to save her life. In fact all she kept referring to was the hotel restaurant — maybe time to brush up on your local knowledge Delta. If I wasn’t a Unilocaler I’d be spending my vacation in Halifax inside the hotel and never experiencing all that your amazing city has to offer.
Just a heads up and tip for management on that. Otherwise a decent stay.

My home away from home from Tuesday ’til this morning was the Delta Halifax.
There was a mini fridge in the room. WIFI was complimentary. Parking was nearby and about $ 20 a day. The hotel is within walking distance to the waterfront, shopping, Scotiabank Centre, a lot of restaurants and attractions such as Citadel Hill.
I’d stay here again.

I stayed at the Delta Halifax for business for one night and was treated like royalty! I rented a car from enterprise (which is a short walk up two flights of stairs from the lobby to scotia square, where you’ll find sushi, a food court, and your car rental! I was so pleased with Elisthe at the front desk who patiently checked me in with someone else’s card over the secure billing site. When I returned in the evening and parked my car, the manager Kevin took my luggage right into my room for me so I could head out to dinner right away. I can’t say enough good things. The room was lovely and had a view of the harbour and citadel hill. Gorgeous.

My favorite hotel to stay at in Halifax. It’s close to everything and it’s in a mall with a great food court. Staff are friendly. The only problem I have is it seems like the room I got this time has the bathroom inside a closet. Sort of odd? In any case, it’s a nice hotel with a good location and I’ll def stay again.

We stayed at the Delta Halifax for 4 nights in late July and the service was truly fantastic! We were given the opportunity to see several rooms before choosing one with a great view. The hotel itself is clean and well kept and the room (1-​bedroom suite) was quite nice with an excellent harbour view. We were given complimentary drinks in the bar while our room was being prepared.
The location is good, near one end of downtown but easy walking distance to most of the local attractions.
Where things really stand out however is the customer service. From the very beginning, Shawna at the front desk welcomed us as if into her own home. She recommended local sights and places to eat, and printed out directions for us to Peggy’s Cove and Lunenberg. She also had a dessert delivered to our room when she found out it was my wife’s birthday. Finally, when my wife found the hotel pillows a bit too firm, Shawna brought her one from her own home! Where else have you ever heard of customer service like that?
The rest of the staff were all unfailingly friendly and helpful. We really felt like welcome guests rather than customers. We will not hesitate to stay here again!

This mid-​level hotel is, as others have suggested, excellent value for the money. The staff is friendly and get things done quickly, and the price is very reasonable given the quality.
My room was clean and well appointed, and had everything that I needed. The hotel provides free wifi and newspapers, has a pool and other amenities, and has quite a decent restaurant.
There are some drawbacks though. The layout is idiosyncratic to the point of being confusing and the wifi was so slow my phone kept switching it off.
One more complaint: I like to swim for exercise while travelling but that’s impossible when the pool is full of kids, so I was elated to see they had an adults only time. But when I turned up an hour into that 2 hour block, the pool was still filled to the brim with rambunctious tykes. Apparently no one observes or enforces rhe rule.

By Far my Favorite hotel I have stayed in. We have stayed here twice both for a week duration. The first time was just my husband and I and we were at the sister property they failed to let us know they were under construction and we were woken up quite early I went down to the desk to let them know we were not aware of this. they apologized and offered us free breakfast and a move to the Delta Halifax (this hotel) The staff at both by far met our expectations. The first trip we were on our house hunting trip to move from Ontario to here. When they found that out they gave us a map of the HRM and circled where to look and where to stay away. We were treated to dinner and wine as we were telling them this was our first time together alone since our son was born and since my husband had come home from overseas. That we were looking forward to this posting as he wouldn’t be gone as much. The second time we stayed here was when we moved and we were waiting for our items to arrive. they made sure we had two rooms adjoining (Suite) as we had our son, two dogs and my mother along with us to help with the move. even though it had been 4 weeks later, we were greeted by name by all the staff as we entered the building and did not have to even give our name at check in. They had a little present for our son when we checked in as well which entertained him for the week and till this day 1 year later he loves his dinosaur he was given. Everyday we came down we were asked how the house was coming along (as we were painting and such while we were waiting for our moving truck to come from Ontario) The day our stuff did come they allowed us to leave my mom, dogs and son in the room until 7 or 8pm as unloading a moving truck and waiting for them to put our furniture together. I am also impressed that to this day when my family walks by either of the Delta Halifax or the Delta Barrington the staff still greets us with hi Mr. and Mrs. Irwin. How are you liking Halifax? I can stay we will definitely be back when we are posted out of Halifax and we recommend this hotel to any friends or family that come to visit us.

5 stars on customer service and value for $$.
I was responsible for organizing our office Christmas party here and everyone was pleased with the event.
Colin, the Conference Services Manager was a pleasure to work with. In fact, everyone involved was professional, friendly and accomodating. We went with a buffet meal and it was outstanding. The chowder, the best I’ve ever had, people were having second and third helpings. The venue was perfect for our small group.
My husband and I stayed at the hotel for the evening and were pleased with our accomodations. The room was clean and well maintained. We needed to call guest services for a couple things and our requests were handled quickly. Front desk were friendly and fast.
This was our first stay at the Halifax but we have stayed several times at the Barrington. If I understand correctly, both places (across the street from each other) are pretty much run by the same management team. Both hotels are older and some rooms are showing their age. Regardless, I’ve always found them to be very clean and comfortable. I was told the rooms will be going through renos over the next year or so. In my experience, if you have any issues, contact management and they are very responsive and willing to take corrective action.
There is a fee for parking but I have yet to find a hotel in any downtown in any city that does not charge a fee for parking. Parking in a city center is always at a premium. If you don’t mind the walk (all indoors & pedways) the parking at the casino parking garage is the best deal.
Go online and check the promos and packages for the hotel and you can sometimes get some pretty sweet deals. Of course the best deals are going to be weekends and off season but if you are just looking for a getaway weekend in the city, the Deltas in Halifax have it wrapped up IMHO.

I had a response from a previous post pertaining to a stay at the Delta Halifax. I am very thrilled and completely impressed with the customer service portrayed by Delta Halifax. They have gone beyond my expectation to satisfy me with a recent stay at their hotel. Anyone who puts the customer first and makes them a priority as they did for me can be assured my business will be kept with them.
Thank you Delta,
Looking forward to my cuppa tea!

Convention Facilities Review
Living in HRM, I don’t really have any reason to stay at one of the local hotels. However, I recently attended a convention there (and was one of the organizers) so I stayed and had a chance to work with the staff.
They were, in all aspects, very professional. From the chefs to the servers and the management, they really could not do enough to make our event top notch.
The Baronet Ballroom and the Bluenose Ballroom were excellent for groups. They can be divided and configured to accommodate large groups for a multitude of functions.
The food was simply incredible. Menu selections were plentiful, tasty and presented beautifully.
All staff really did go the extra mile for us. No request to burdensome or met with any resistance. When they remember your name and ask you if there is anything they can do (completely at random), isn’t that ideal?
I would not hesitate to use this venue again or recommend it.

We reserved a king Room couple days before our check-​in day on
, as soon as we paid online, however; when we come to this hotel, the rep. said, they just don’t have any king rooms left, customers’ «reservation» only means a REQUEST, not guarantee they have rooms available, and she was trying to persuade us by stating that it’s just one-​day stay.
what’s that? I mean, we reserved serval days before, at least
should only show rooms available to be booked on their website.
Generally, The location of this Hotel is great. You would be easily to access any hot-​spots in downtown. Whereas, The cleanness of this hotel is so so, there is nothing in our refrigerator where should stocked snacks and soft drink.
Even not quite satisfied with the reservation services, if you looking for more convenience for travel or downtown business, this would be your choice.

I’ve been to the Delta Halifax a number of times throughout the years, whether its been my own stay or a friend’s. The service and facilities have always been on par, and its location is prime for downtown adventures.
The hotel itself is connected through pedways to both Scotia Square Mall and the Casino. Having a decent eatery, liquor store, drug stores and shops on hand can certainly add appeal. Convenience is key!
Prices are what you’d expect from a chain hotel brand, and the rooms are of standard set-​up. Certainly not the «ultimate experience», but thats not to say there is anything wrong here. Delta lingers somewhere in the middle for me, with its key location and interconnecting walkways as the selling point.

I have stayed at the Delta on a few occasions mainly for the convenience of location. The Hotel itself is nice and the rooms fine. I was here for an event, which was quite nicely put on by the hotel.
The staff were great and the food was very tasty. It is a great hotel to put an event on. The casino is close by and you can stroll down the waterfront.

This downtown hotel was one of the main hubs for schmoozing during the Atlantic Film Festival. I bartended the VIP lounge during the bustling festivities and found my time at this establishment to be quite pleasant.
I spent most of my time in conference rooms, in particular a room with a large patio overlooking the harbour, boasting an insuite bar along with all of the amenities of a hotel room (save for the bed). The hotel staff were quite helpful in assisting us with clean up and set up, and all of my interactions with the employees were quite nice.
The front desk attendants were very helpful and courteous, available to call cabs and assist patrons with finding their respective ways about town. The whole hotel seemed clean and well kept, and the restaurant on the main floor was popular amongst guests.
If you’re looking to host an event and need a location, this hotel could have the perfect space for you. The employees are professional and courteous and the overall vibe is relaxed and tidy.

As far as hotels go, this place is A-​OK. Friendly service, unique layout and decent rates. There’s a great hot tub and pool and the location is perfect.
I felt compelled to review this hotel simply because of the fact that THE TRAILER PARK BOYS chilled with us outside the min entrance at 3am! Well it was just Ricky and Julian, but too cool nonetheless.
Make sure you sign up for Delta Privilege Points! That shit adds up.
