Hearthstone Inn Boutique Hotel Halifax - Dartmouth

Cool, retro place, cozy

A little tired! Bathroom needed calling all around!

Although the staff was very friendly and check-in was quick, the hotel itself is a little dated. The restaurant was not open for breakfast, but again the staff quickly referred us to a cafe that was fine. Our room, although quite large, was very dated and not as clean as one would hope. We had a microwave in the room, that we had to clean before we used it - old, dried food was inside the oven. There was popcorn on the floor by the bed and a large sticky spot on the floor that we needed to clean up instead of stepping around it. Overall, we stay the one night - it was a reasonably convenient location, but I highly doubt that we would stay there again.

It was a decent stay

No breakfast during weekdays. Had to go to a coffee shop nearby.

The bathroom needs recaulking.

There was only one light source in the bedroom (one lamp). Drapes could not be opened without neighboring buildings looking in. The room was located on the second floor. Difficult to find things in the room at night. Breakfast not included. There is a laundry facility (1 washer and 1 dryer) available in the basement. Coin operated ($1.75 per load). Bring your own detergent.

We had no heat they gave us a portable heater and the mouse was not a wanted guest

We had to go out for breakfast even though your booking said there was a free breakfast. There was limited parking. It was one of our most expensive nights so likely won’t be back.

Toilet was clogged & had to be dismantled with us in the room. It smelled like sewer that my kids & I had to just rush out. The front desk offered no alternative for us. When I asked for a different room & if we could stay another night I was told it would $200, twice as much as I booked with Expedia without any consideration for the inconvenience. So I just went back up to the room and grabbed my kids without shower or brushing their teeth. I asked if we could use another room for bathroom use but it was on a different floor and the inconvenience of packing up everything just and walk the common areas in our PJs was just too much so we just decided to leave once and for all. The cleaning staff was very sympathetic so we still tipped them.
