Summary: We enjoyed our stay at The Westin Nova Scotian. The hotel was nice, and we had a beautiful view from our room. The harbour view was lovely, although the hotel isn't directly on the waterfront, and the view depends on which pier the cruise ships are docked at. Unfortunately, our room was right beside the elevator, which was quite noisy throughout the night and made sleeping difficult. I would definitely recommend requesting a room away from the elevators. The room and furniture also felt a bit dated, with some noticeable wear and nicks. Like many downtown Halifax hotels, it was quite pricey, and we're not sure the overall experience was worth the cost. One definite highlight was the restaurant, which was a wonderful experience with great service. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, but at this price point, we expected a little more from the room.
