9/10 Wonderful! (947 reviews)
We checked in after a mixup with another hotel, we were staying in Halifax for my girlfriends birthday. Our room smelled really bad. The pool was not opened and we were not made aware until after our reservation. The bar was closed with no bartender the whole day. There were 2 bottles of water in the room that had a charge for "non members" like are you kidding me? Breakfast was another fee, basically after paying a ridiculous amount of money there were fees for everything. The customer service was basically nonexistent for anyone who wasn't a member. Our basic king bed room was completely overpriced for what was provided. This "luxurious" hotel completely lacked any simple luxury we were hoping for. Without sounding too dramatic, this hotel disappointed us in every way. The Hollis Halifax a DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Hotel is an absolute disgrace.
